Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans FRANCHISE CHANGING Offseason Ahead, Let Dillon Radunz Go & Bring Back Defense Vets

Episode Date: February 2, 2025

OFFSEASON ROAD MAP WEEK DAY 1: The Tennessee Titans have once again entered a franchise-altering offseason, but will it be for better or worse? Each step of the offseason will be so critical to gettin...g the Titans going back in the right directions whether it be from free agency, the draft or training camp. The Titans will start with deciding which of their own free agents to bring back. Dillon Radunz is the biggest impact free agent on offense, but the Titans must upgrade mightily on the right and Radunz may not be in the cards. On defense, the Titans had real moments of success in 2024 on that side of the ball. Bringing back some of the cheap vets responsible seems to be a strong strategy. Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans TicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BetterhelpDiscover your relationship “green flags” with BetterHelp.

It is day one of off season roadmap week. I am going to spend the entire week and go through
Starting point is 00:00:54 what I think is the ideal Tennessee Titans off season on today's show. We're going to go through the off season schedule. Look at the Titans in house free agents. I'm going to tell you who they should sign back and who they should let walk on tomorrow show. We're going to look at who the Tennessee Titans should trade. Maybe Jeffrey Simmons. Should they cut Harold Landry? What do they do with Legerrius Snead and Calvin Ridley's contracts? Then on Wednesday, we are going to have a full mock free agency. I'm going to tell you every single signing. I think the Tennessee Titans should make this all season. Thursday will be a seven round mock draft where I go over my ideal NFL draft outcome for the Tennessee Titans.
Starting point is 00:01:38 And then on Friday's episode, I am going to recap all of the moves and tell you what the twenty twenty five Tennessee Titans should look like. It's an entire week of every step of the all season. Very excited to bring it to you guys. Make sure that you get subscribed. Stay subscribed. It's your team every day here on the Locked on Titans podcast and you won't want to miss a single episode but with that being said, this is going to be one of the most important, if not the most important off seasons in franchise history. Now I will tell you, I thought that was the case last year for the Tennessee Titans and last year very well could be the answer.
Starting point is 00:02:17 But with letting go of Rancarthon, with the number one overall pick and the ability to take a quarterback or to trade back. The options available to the Tennessee Titans, in my opinion, make it the most important franchise offseason the Titans have had in quite some time. Because what the Titans do with what they have now, what they do with the cap space, how they manage their current roster, it feels like the Titans are shifting gears and we heard that from Chad Brinker earlier in the all season. We heard that from Mike Borganzi at his press conference as well. That the Tennessee Titans basically need to take this thing slower. They were undisciplined in free agency last year. They were too aggressive in free agency last year.
Starting point is 00:03:02 So they are basically acknowledging, hey, we need to slow things down. We need to build this the right way. We need to do this with development in mind, not trying to maximize wins right out of the gate. And the ability to actually do that slow build and the ability to actually build up this roster with a draft and developmentality and not try to microwave it through free agency,
Starting point is 00:03:24 the Titans have the ability to set themselves up on an incredible course to do that with a trade back in the draft. But also on the flip side, they could take a quarterback who's transformational to the franchise. Basically, we don't know what's going to happen, but the possibilities at hand for the Tennessee Titans, the change in general manager, the crossroads with where the roster and the team is at right now, make this offseason and what the Tennessee Titans do this offseason as probably the most franchise, the potential most franchise changing offseason
Starting point is 00:03:58 the Tennessee Titans have ever had. And that starts with the senior bowl, which just finished up this weekend. And then it moves to the NFL combine. Think February 24th, just a couple of weeks away, February 24th through March the 3rd is the NFL combine. And it'll be so, so critical for the Tennessee Titans to have those meetings with those quarterbacks. Again, we've for the Tennessee Titans to have those meetings with those quarterbacks. Again, we've seen the tape.
Starting point is 00:04:27 They can go out and run this time or bench this time or whatever. The quarterback measurements and the quarterback testing to me, isn't as important as it is at other positions. I mean, Anthony Richardson had the best combine of all time. Look how much that's helped him. The tape is what matters more than anything else. Measurements and testing matter more at other traitsy positions,
Starting point is 00:04:47 but with quarterback, the meetings at the combine, getting to know them, seeing them interact with their teammates, interact with their other prospects, their peers, that's what's most important about the combine. So the combine interview process will be incredibly critical to the Tennessee Titans with these two quarterbacks. You get through the combine and then immediately on March the 4th is the franchise tag deadline. I do not expect the Tennessee Titans to franchise tag anyone this Austin. There is not a single
Starting point is 00:05:18 free agent that the Tennessee Titans currently have who deserves a franchise tag. And again, I'm going to go through every single in-house free agent for the Tennessee Titans and tell you whether they should stay, whether they should go and what the Titan should sign them back for you for here in just a moment. But. After we get past the franchise tag deadline on March the 4th, we moved to March the 10th, which is the legal tampering period. The legal negotiation window is what they should
Starting point is 00:05:46 really call it. Cause tampering can't be tampering if it's legal, just saying. But the Tennessee Titans have to be smarter about their free agency moves this year compared to last year. Last year you go out and spend the money. I get it. You got Will Levis on a rookie contract. You're trying to compete right away. You're trying to add veterans value veterans to the roster to give you a chance to win. Well, the Titans have tried that and it didn't work. And now with a new vision for the team and potentially a new quarterback being added in the draft, what you don't want to do is you don't want to continue spending that freely because what happens is you push money into the future.
Starting point is 00:06:23 The Titans did mostly three to four year deals in free agency. But if you look into those deals, as I did after they were signed last all season, a lot of them are really two year deals with very little dead money. If you cut the player after the second season. So really the Titans in terms of their free agency contract window, it's this year, it's last year and this year coming up. And after that, they can move on from a lot of those contracts with minimum dead cap and not really have to worry about it.
Starting point is 00:06:52 But if you start giving out huge contracts this year, that's going to mess with your cap space next year and the year after where you might be remodeling the team and a new image. So I would expect the Titans to be much slower, much more methodical, much more planned out in free agency this year than the aggressive version that I saw from them last year. But what they decide to do in free agency will have a monster impact on the franchise's direction going forward, which again
Starting point is 00:07:20 goes back to this being such a franchise altering franchise impacting franchise changing off season for the Titans. But after we get through the tampering period from the 10th to the 12th, on March the 12th, free agency is officially open. We'll be covering that for multiple weeks. April the 21st off season workouts
Starting point is 00:07:41 begin for the Tennessee Titans and other teams around the NFL. And then we have the NFL draft from April 24th to April 26th. Again, I don't have to explain to you at this point, the importance of that NFL draft, whether the Titans trade down to collect more picks, to build their new roster, whether they take a quarterback to be the face of the franchise moving forward, whatever decision they make there, if they just take Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, number one, whatever decision they make there, if they just take Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, number one, whatever decision they make will have ripple effects for years to come on this team.
Starting point is 00:08:11 You get out of the draft and then you get May 2nd through the 5th or May 9th through the 12th. It's going to be rookie mini camp. If the Titans take a quarterback, is that quarterback going to be in attendance? Are they going to be ready to go learning the playbook getting to know their teammates? It's very critical that their attendance is a check mark there. Uh, July 15th is the franchise tag extension deadline.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Again, I do not expect any franchise tag usage for the Tennessee Titans this year. And then July 21st through the 28th, most likely be around that time. We got training camp hall of fame game on August the second, preseason from the 9th of August to the 23rd of August. And then September 7th, the Tennessee Titans season will start once again. So that's the all season schedule. That's why this is such a critical all season for the Titans now. Should they bring back their in-house free agents? Yes or no? their in-house free agents. Yes or no.

Starting point is 00:10:33 Now let's go through our in-house free agents. Tomorrow I'm looking at trades the Titans should make, cuts the Titans should make, what moves they maybe shouldn't make at all. With that being said, time to get into these in-house free agents. Do want to thank you for making Locked on Titan your first listen each and every day, Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round, always for free, make sure that you get subscribed, stay subscribed to your team every day. But with that being said, the first free agent and play along with me, let me know
Starting point is 00:11:07 yes or no, whether you're in the comments on YouTube, you're just listening during your workout or in your car, play along with me here. Good. The Titans re-sign Dylan Radens. Listen, I have been a Dylan Radens proponent since day one, since Dylan Radens was drafted by the Tennessee Titans, I thought he had the opportunity to be a starting level offensive lineman in the NFL. Now it's a bit of a slow burn with Dylan Radens because Mike Rable hated him personally. Um, and they moved him all around all of that.
Starting point is 00:11:38 But, but regardless of that, I think Dylan Radens has turned into a low level NFL starter. I think he is basically any worse than Dylan Radens and you got to upgrade, but Dylan Radens is just okay enough to be your fifth best starter on your offensive line. But here's the thing. I think the Titans need better. The Titans need to sign one big free agent at right tackle or at right guard. And they need to draft a right tackle or a right guard.
Starting point is 00:12:11 That is the most realistic way to rebuild this, rebuild this team. And quite frankly, the direction that I think the Tennessee Titans should go this all season means letting Dylan Radens go now that'll make more sense when we get to my free agency episode on Wednesday. But I'm willing to let Dylan Radens go. And look, here's the thing. I don't think that Dylan Radens is going to be a guy who's signed to a new team within the first hour of free agency opening.
Starting point is 00:12:37 If things don't go the way that the Titans expect in free agency, and my plan doesn't go according to plan, you can always pivot and bring Dylan Radens back. But I think for the Tennessee Titans purposes and when you're looking at the NFL draft versus free agency and what could give you a better right side of the offensive line, I think the way to go is to attack right guard in free agency, look to attack right tackle in the draft. And you could bring Dylan Radens back if you have to but I'm gonna say no to resigning Dylan Radens again average at best probably a
Starting point is 00:13:11 little below average as a starter injured very often I think you could do better next is Nicholas Westbrook-Ekene and I'm down for bringing back NWI he's proven his value to the team no he, he's not a high level starter, but he's a very good depth role player and you have to have those guys. NWI proved his value to Brian Callahan and the roster last year. I'm giving Nick Westbrook-Akine a three year,
Starting point is 00:13:37 $5 million per year, $6 million per year deal. I'm thinking like three years, $20 million. That's what I would do for NWI like three years, $20 million. That's what I would do for NWI three years, $20 million. Pay him what he's worth. Six million a year, six and some change. I think the NWI deserves that. I think he's worth that. Give me NWI three years, $20 million.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Next is Mason Rudolph. And my answer to Mason Rudolph is no, it's no, because here's my thing. If the Titans go with a drafted quarterback early in the draft, if the Titans go with Cam Ward or Chedur Sanders, then you need to bring in a better backup quarterback because they're a rookie. Should they even start right away? Cam Ward, I don't know. Chedur probably ready to start right away, but you need a better veteran backup quarterback than Mason Rudolph behind one of those guys. And if the Titans go out and get a veteran quarterback, like a Garrett Carr or Aaron Rogers or something like that, then you need to bring in a young developmental backup quarterback, like go trade for Jake Browning
Starting point is 00:14:40 or something like that. So either path that the Tennessee Titans take it quarterback this year, I don't think it makes sense to bring back Mason Rudolph as part of that plan. Tyler Boyd. Tyler Boyd is a yes for me. I'm going to bring back Tyler Boyd. Now I think Tyler Boyd's role is going to be significantly decreased based on what happens in the draft. But Tyler Boyd is a solid veteran who helped the Titans. His expectations aren't too high. So his contract is not going to be too high. I'm absolutely bringing back Tyler Boyd to continue to be a veteran voice for the locker room and the Titans are really low at wide receiver depth right now.
Starting point is 00:15:20 They have Calvin Ridley, but NWI is a free agent. Tyler Boyd is a free agent. Traylon Burks is an absolute ghost. I mean, what other moves do they have? I think you bring back Tyler Boyd on a very, very cheap veteran minimum contract. And if you don't get the options that you expected in the NFL draft to get multiple wide receivers, then you still have Tyler Boyd who is a veteran steady or a steady veteran for the locker room. I like bringing Tyler Boyd back on a veteran minimum, which is what he's probably going to be worth this year. Daniel Brunskill is another yes to me. You need interior
Starting point is 00:15:56 depth on the offensive line. And I think that Daniel Brunskill's ability to play center and back up at guard and do it at a reasonable level, I think you bring Daniel Brunskill back for a veteran minimum contract, like one year, 2.7 to $3.2 million. He's just solid depth for you as your primary backup offensive lineman. I like bringing Dylan Raden's back. The question is, or not Dylan Raden's, Daniel Brunskill. I like bringing Daniel Brunskill back. The question is, can Daniel Brunskill get a better opportunity that maybe be a starter at the end of
Starting point is 00:16:29 his career somewhere else? I don't think that he's a starting level player at this point, but he would be an excellent primary interior offensive line backup, just like he was last year. Julius Chestnut is a restricted free agent. I'm out on Julius chestnut. I've never liked Julius chestnut. I don't get the love. I don't think he's got the burst or the juice of an NFL running back. He doesn't run with enough power. He doesn't give you enough out of the backfield.
Starting point is 00:16:57 He is just a very average player, below average, quite frankly, across the board in a lot of circumstances. He's a restricted free agent. I would just let him go. I would look to get somebody better in your power back situation, especially. I think Tony Pollard is a guy who's going to wear down quickly. And Tajay Spears has already shown that he can be injury prone. So I would be looking to get a more
Starting point is 00:17:20 reliable power back for the Tennessee Titans. And that is not Julius chestnut. Andrew Rupcich is an exclusive rights free agent. That means he basically only has the option to sign with the Titans on a one year veteran minimum deal. Well, not veteran because he's a young player, but minimum deal. Andrew Rupcich really doesn't have a choice. He goes to the Titans or the Titans can just hold his rights until they want to let him go. Andrew Rupsich should be back for the Titans on an exclusive rights free agent deal. It's as low as it can get.
Starting point is 00:17:54 No big deal. Now we get to special teams and I think you bring Nick Fulk back on a one year, $3 million deal, just like you gave him last year. Nick Fulk proved to be as reliable as ever. You're probably not going to be able to find better than Nick Fulk this off season. You definitely could find worse. So give him his one, one year, three and a half million dollar contract and see if he wants to kick next year too.
Starting point is 00:18:19 I mean, just, just, I would give, that's how I feel about Nick Fulk and Morgan Cox, Morgan Cox is a free agent too. He's the Tennessee Titans long snapper. I'm given Morgan Cox and Nick Fulk one year deals until they decide to retire. It's that simple for me. And then Ryan Stonehouse is a restricted free agent. Whatever it, I, three years, $10 million for Ryan Stonehouse, about three and a half, $4 million a year. Maybe you do three years, $10 million for Ryan Stonehouse, about three and a half, $4 million a year.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Maybe you do three years, $12 million. Ryan Stonehouse has definitely fallen off a little bit from the all pro level that he was at early in his career after that injury, but I think he can get back to that with improved special teams under bones fossil. So I'm going to keep Ryan Stonehouse around as, as long as possible, but, uh, give him, give him three years, 12 million, three years, 10 million somewhere in there for Ryan Stonehouse is a restricted free agent. And I think you're good to go with special teams as well, but we're going
Starting point is 00:19:15 to look at the defensive side of the ball where a lot of these veterans who helped the Tennessee Titans early are on the chopping block, but I think. I think I'm going to bring a lot of them back. So day one off season roadmap week, we're doing in-house free agents. are on the chopping block, but I think, I think I'm going to bring a lot of them back.

Starting point is 00:22:00 Titans fans. Let's cap off today's edition of the locked on Titans podcast. I am your host Tyler Roland again, 25 years as a Tennessee Titans fanatic. I've covered the team for USA Today for Sports Illustrated hosted the number one Tennessee Titans podcast, Locked on Titans for six seasons now it's all season roadmap week we're doing in-house free agents today. Tomorrow is roster management with trade options and cap cuts and roster decisions that must be made. Wednesday is a mock free agency.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Thursday is a seven round mock draft on entirely by me. And Friday, I will be recapping the entire off season and what I think the Tennessee Titans should do to get them back on track, but let's continue going over the in-house free agents. We did the offensive side of the ball. Let's do the defensive side of the ball and number one on the defense. We got to talk about quandary digs. So digs played pretty well for the Tennessee Titans until he broke his foot
Starting point is 00:22:58 and was out for the rest of the year, midway through the year. Like digs was playing pretty good football and the style of football that Bernard Wilson plays as a defensive coordinator and his tutelage to defensive backs is apparent. Like he got the absolute best out of all of the Titans defensive backs at every step of the way, except maybe Ligeria Snead who did not play very well even when he was healthy, but Jarvis Brownlee jr. played well for a rookie.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Roger McCreary quietly had one of the best years of any slot corner in the entire NFL. I mean, McCreary was great all year long. Nobody even talked about him or noticed him because he was so locked down. But I mean, they had Worley playing well and Mike Brown playing well and all these random players in the secondary contributing. So I think you can bring quandary Dix back on a one year, $4 million deal if he is healthy, if quandary Dix is healthy enough, he probably
Starting point is 00:23:52 doesn't want to move around a ton again, bring him back. He fits into the defense. He played well. You need more safety depth is the thing you need better safety depth this year than you had last year after chain trading, Elijah Moulton and cutting bait with Jamal Adams, like the Titans just ruined their safety depth this year than you had last year after trade in Elijah Moulton and cutting bait with Jamal Adams. Like the Titans just ruined their safety depth betting on Jamal Adams last year. And ultimately when all the safeties went down, it was just tough to deal with.
Starting point is 00:24:16 So you need to build better safety depth. And this year and this year's draft, the Titans need to get a developmental safety to start developing as a starter to replace Quandre Diggs and potentially replace a Monty Hooker as well, whose contract is going to be up after this next season. So the Titans have to go and get a safety in this draft, no doubt about it. So bring Quandre Diggs back one year, $4 million. You have a Monty Hooker on the last year of his deal.
Starting point is 00:24:46 You draft the safety in the mid rounds of the draft. And then you add another veteran depth piece. I think you have a pretty good, pretty good safety position as best as you can make it in this off season. But bring Quandre Diggs back if he is healthy. Jack Gibbons, I know Gibbons experienced a devastating injury. Probably will not be ready for next season, but Gibbons is a restricted free agent. And if you can bring him back on a one year minimum deal because he is hurt and he knows it and he just wants to be a part of the team for years, he
Starting point is 00:25:16 rehabs and all that. And then you get, you know, best chance to bring him back after that. I think that makes a ton of sense for the Tennessee Titans, kind of similar to what they did with Colton Dowell for most of the year. He's probably going to be on PUP, probably not going to be available to play for quite some time. So just stash him and let him get right. Sebastian Joseph Day. Sebastian Joseph Day played well.
Starting point is 00:25:36 He was good depth on the defensive line. This is a very good defensive line draft class. So I would imagine the Titans do add some more depth on the interior in the draft. But Sebastian Joseph day is a veteran who should be back. Jeffrey Simmons, Tavondre Sweat and Sebastian Joseph day is a really good base defensive line. That's a solid defensive line. When the Titans got into their backups is when they started really getting
Starting point is 00:25:59 smoked, um, which speaking of backups, uh, we get into mostly backups here, the two bakers, Jerome Baker, see a get out of here. Never want to see you again. He played so poorly and gave such bad effort at times. That was the most disappointing thing to me from the former Ohio State Buckeye Jerome Baker is he just did not give great efforts. So that's a no to me. The Titans need to revamp their linebacker group.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Darrell Baker on the other hand though, I would give him a one year, $3 million contract to bring him back. Darrell Baker played solid for the Tennessee Titans at cornerback for most of the year. Him as a depth piece going into the season. If he's your fifth cornerback behind Cheeto and Snead and McCreary and Jarvis going into the year, Darrell Baker is your fifth cornerback behind Cheeto and Snead and McCreary and Jarvis going into the
Starting point is 00:26:47 year. Darrell Baker is your fifth cornerback with what he did last year for the Titans. That would be really, really solid cornerback depth. And I'm in favor of bringing him back. Otis Reese is an exclusive rights free agent, which I explained earlier when I talked about Andrew Rupcich exclusive, free agent means that the Titans have your rights exclusively. You're not allowed to sign with any other team unless the Titans relinquish your rights. And that means that the Titans are going to bring Otis Reese back on a
Starting point is 00:27:16 one year minimum deal. That's just what's going to happen. Um, Mike Brown is a restricted free agent. You could bring him back. I've been a Mike Brown supporter, but he's not good enough to you know Throw a fit about it. They don't bring him back. So I'll say no to Mike Brown Keon-dre Coburn is an exclusive rights free agent bring him back He had some good moments and he knows to Vandrey sweat sweat real well So keep a mentor in the locker room and then TK mcclendon defensive lineman who was hurt all year He's an exclusive rights free agent as well. I think the titans bring him back. They're interested in developing him I'm fine with bringing back TK mcclendon for some depth on the defensive line
Starting point is 00:27:55 But the titans really got to get additional defensive line depth in there TK mcclendon and marlin Davidson and Aaron lint or james Lynch and like, they can do better. They can do better now with that being said, Marlon Davidson by see a time to get some new blood in here. Aaron or James Lynch though, you could bring him back. He had a pretty good end of the year for the Titans. Garrett Wallow, the linebacker. No, we can do better.

Morgan Cox one year, veteran million, million. Quandre Diggs one year, 4 million. Jack Gibbons one year, four million, um, Jack Gibbons, one year veteran minimum, uh, Sebastian Joseph day one year, four million Darrell Baker one year, three million.
Starting point is 00:28:52 And then brought back some exclusive rights, free agents on minimum deals that probably won't even affect the top 51 tomorrow. We're going to do a salary cap primer. So you know how much salary cap space the Titans currently have and then the moves that we Make tomorrow how much space it actually gives the Titans, but then I will factor in the deals that I gave out here Resigning players so that we know exactly how much cap space the Tennessee Titans have going into my mock free agency on Wednesday and again mock draft on Thursday Full offseason recap on Friday.
