Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans ROSTER CUTS BEGIN, Defensive Depth Predictions & Top Waiver Claim Will Be Used

Episode Date: August 25, 2025

The Tennessee Titans are in the process of cutting down their roster and Tyler is going over who he thinks will make the 53-man roster on the defensive side of the ball after discussing the offense on... yesterday's show. The issue with going through the roster on defense is there is not enough talent. This leaves the Titans with a lot of spots where they simply need to fill a space, but the player shouldn't be too comfortable as the place holder. The reason for that is because the Titans have the number one spot in the waiver claim and will be keeping an eye on every player cut around the league. 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 Listener SurveyWe’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better. Go tohttps://lockedonpodcasts.com/survey/ to get started.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Tennessee Titans roster cuts have begun. I'll tell you who got the axe on Monday and who I think survives on today's edition of Locked on Titans. You are Locked on Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome to the Locked on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland Titans fans. Today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast is brought to you by Fandul.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Football season is right around the corner. Make sure that you visit the Fandle app today and start planning your futures bets because, hey, it's Futures Day on Fandle Sportsbook. But with that being said, the Tennessee Titans began making roster cuts on Monday. They cut 16 players. I'm going to tell you who got cut. I'm also going to tell you who I think makes the roster on the defensive side of the ball and at the end of the show
Starting point is 00:01:02 we'll go over my final 53 man roster prediction including yesterday's offensive predictions and then today's defensive predictions and cuts. Before we dive into all of that though, do want to thank you for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Remember Monday through Friday Tennessee Titans content all year round always for free make sure you get subscribe, stay subscribed it's your team every day. Speaking of every day, shout out to my everydayers out there tuning in Monday through Friday. Couldn't do it without you guys if you aren't an everyday or you need to be one right now hit subscribe the season is right around the corner roster is going to be finalized on tuesday i'm going to be here
Starting point is 00:01:41 to break it all down with you it's your team every day here on the locked on titans podcast but with that being said again roster cuts have begun 16 players got cut by the tennessee titans on Monday. All right. Now, out of those 16 players, I would only tell you that three of them have any noteworthy quality to them at all. Number one, Jaquan Jackson,
Starting point is 00:02:08 the Titan's sixth round pick from last year, totally failed as a punt returner, got beat out by multiple players at his position this year. Big failure for Rancarthorn, and I got to tell you, we've heard a lot about Tajay Spears having a rough year on and off the field
Starting point is 00:02:25 last year, Rancar Thon, who we know loved Taji Spears and raved about him all the time. Is it possible that Rancar Thon over-drafted a guy who was Tadier Spears' best friend and roommate in college because Spears was going through some things and Rancar Thon really cared about him? I'm just saying, I'll take off the aluminum foil hat, but that one, not looking so good for Rancar Thon right now.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Also, Julius Wood got cut at safety. We talked about him potentially making the rock. because he had had pretty good preseason. He's been helpful on special teams. But he is suspended for one game to start the season, the end of a six-game suspension. So you wonder if that factored into the decision to move on from him pretty quickly.
Starting point is 00:03:09 And then finally, I would say that Matt Landers is a guy that stood out to me as a part of the first wave of cuts. Landers 6 foot 3, 6 foot 4, huge guy out of Arkansas. But dealing with an injury right now and he was actually waived due to injury. So those are the three that stand out to me.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Other than that, what I would say is, there's a lot of corners that got cut. Jalen Kimber out of Penn State, Davion Ross, Clarence Lewis, Jermari Harris out of Iowa. The Titans brought in a ton of undrafted free agent cornerbacks, safeties,
Starting point is 00:03:43 and basically none of them were able to break through and make an impact. None of the undrafted guys that they brought in in the secondary. So that's unfortunate for the Titans, but outside of, the guys that we've talked about so far Joshua Bledso
Starting point is 00:03:59 who was a back end of the roster safety cut Amari Bernie at linebacker Joe Graziano Josiah Bronson T.J. Smith at Interior defensive line Arlington Hambright at Interior Offensive Line who I'm still not convinced as a real
Starting point is 00:04:17 person. Sam Mustifer one of the Titans veterans they brought in on the offensive line cut and then T.J. Sheffield, who was an undrafted free agent wide receiver, also cut. The last guy I want to mention that got cut is Desmond Evans. Desmond Evans was an undrafted free agent edge rusher, big-bodied guy. I think he was number 57, and he really stood out when you watched him out there. He's just huge, long, physical edge.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And I thought that Desmond Evans had a pretty good chance of being a practice squad guy. But here's the reality. If you're part of these first 16 cuts, you're not probably going to be on the practice squad. Think about the roster math. The Titans had 91 players on the roster. They have to cut down to 53. Quick math, that's 38 people.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Well, if they're cutting 38 people and you were part of the first 16 and not the second 22, probably not a good sign for you. You know what I mean? Like, the guys that are getting cut in this wave are guys who are not probably going to be able to continue their NFL careers for much longer. Julius Wood may be an exception to that,
Starting point is 00:05:27 but it's not good to be part of these first wave of cuts. It's not what you're looking for. If you're one of these players, you would hope that the team would be more interested and would keep you considered for a little bit longer. And a lot of these guys, teams don't care if other teams know they're going to be out on the waiver wire. See, what you can do is if you cut guys a little later on,
Starting point is 00:05:45 maybe you can, you know, teams commit their resources to other players, and then you might get a guy to slide through and get them back on the practice squad. That's not going to happen with this first group of cuts. These are guys who the Titans care about the least. And that's just the cold, hard truth about it. So, 16 players already cut by the Tennessee Titans. Again, only a couple of names that I think matter.
Starting point is 00:06:07 But let me just say this. There's one name that wasn't in these cuts. And it's Xavier Restrepo. And I've resigned myself. I took my L already. I let you guys take your victory laps. Tyler was wrong. He said Xavier Restrepo would be a lock.
Starting point is 00:06:23 he's probably not going to make the roster. I basically already accepted my fate and accepted that I did not hit 100% of my 53-man roster predictions from a couple of months ago. But he wasn't cut yet. Xavier Estrepo was not part of the first 16.
Starting point is 00:06:41 So, you're saying there's a chance. That's all I'm saying is there is a chance. And like I just talked about, I think what we could see for the Titans is Xavier Restrepo could be one of the last players that get cut. I know that he went undrafted,
Starting point is 00:06:56 but just because you go undrafted doesn't mean that another team wouldn't be interested in picking you up on their practice squad. Maybe Xavier Restrepo was mad about the lack of opportunities that he got in Tennessee. He would rather go somewhere else where they're actually going to give him a chance. That's all possible once you cut him and you put him out on the open market.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Now, if you do that later in the process, as late as you possibly can in the process, it's possible that a team that might be interested already decided that they're going to claim a different wide receiver they got cut and they already used those resources or plan to use those resources and then maybe
Starting point is 00:07:31 you could slide Xavier Restrepa through waivers without anybody claiming them and you can get him back on your practice squad if he's not mad at the team which I don't think he will be but you never know what could happen you never know how people react to certain things but at the end of the day
Starting point is 00:07:45 we saw a first wave of cuts happen on Monday and he wasn't a part of it So that gives me at least a little bit, at least a little bit of hope that Restrepo might be able to find a way on to the 53. But speaking of the 53, let's talk about who I think actually does make the roster
Starting point is 00:08:01 on the 53. Can't wait to dive into the defensive side of the ball. Do want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by Fan Dual Sportsbook. August 26th.

Let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We talked about the roster cuts that have already happened. Why I think the timing is the timing and Xavier Restrepo didn't get cut yet. But let's do my defensive roster predictions.
Starting point is 00:09:43 We're going to start in the front seven. Before we dive in, do I want to thank you again for making Locked on Titans your first. listen if you want to help out us here over at the locked on podcast network we'd love to hear from you we put together a survey to learn more about you guys and make your favorite podcasts even better go to locked on podcast.com slash survey to get started everyone who completes a survey will be entered for a chance to win one of ten one hundred dollar Amazon gift cards again that's locked on podcast dot com slash survey you can find the link in the show notes as well thanks for helping us out but with that being said on the interior defensive line I think that this is a place where the Titans could do a lot of waiver-wire work. I am not 100%, and I have not been for years, not 100% happy with the interior defensive line depth. At the top, you could argue it's the Titans best position group.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Jeffrey Simmons, Tavondre Sweat, Sebastian Joseph Day, really, really good group there, up at the top. But after that, I would say James Lynch, does make the roster, and if the Titans, if the Titans keep a fifth interior defensive lineman on the initial roster, I think it would be Cam Horsley. But here's the thing, here's the reality. Even if they keep James Lynch and they keep Cam Horsley, I still think Lynch and Horsley have a great chance to not make it to the final group.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Like, so honestly, I would tell you, I don't think Cam Horsley gets kept. I just think he's an option. He could be a placeholder type guy. I would tell you that the Titans are going to keep four interior defensive linemen. Jeffrey Simmons, Tavondre Sweat, Sebastian Joseph Day, and James Lynch. Those will be the only guys that make the initial 53. And James Lynch could be a guy who's replaced with a waiver. But I think the Titans ultimately during the season will carry five interior defensive linemen.
Starting point is 00:11:45 And I think Cam Horsley is a guy who goes to the practice squad. for the Titans so they can keep developing him but I think they're going to get another veteran at some point off of waivers and carry five interior defensive linemen with Lynch being number four a waiver guy being number five but the initial 53
Starting point is 00:12:01 I think you'll have four interior defensive linemen in Lynch and then the starting three but outside of that we go to the edge rusher group and I think the Tennessee Titans are going to have five edge rushers Arden Key Dreymont Jones and Femiola Dejio are absolute
Starting point is 00:12:18 locks to make the roster. After that, it's a little more dicey. But I think Jihad Ward, I think Jihad Ward, who the Titans brought in during training camp, I think Jihad Ward makes the team. I think he adds versatility. He's real physical against the run. He can rush from the interior as well. I think that versatility makes me more confident that Jihad.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I'm not going to call him a lock necessarily, but I think Jihad Ward will make the roster. And I don't think he's somebody who's going to be replaced by a waiver claim. lame guy. Now, Allie Gay, I think Ali Gay makes the roster as the Titans' fifth edge rusher, okay? The thing with Ali Gay is he's super long, six foot six, and I think the Titans want bigger, longer, edge rushers. But Allie Gay is another one of these guys who I would say is a placeholder. I think the Titans have five edge rushers on the roster.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I just don't think that fifth edge rusher is going to be Allie Gay all year. I could see Allie Gay is just a placeholder, for when the Titans use their waiver claims. Again, they're number one in the waiver claim process, which means they could claim as many players as they want. They get first dibs on every player. Now, we'll talk about waivers and why not every player is on waivers at the end of the show.
Starting point is 00:13:39 But Allie Gay, I think, makes the initial 53 but is a placeholder for someone who they get off waivers. But five edge rushers for the Titans then we go to the linebacker group and I kept trying to find a fourth linebacker kept trying to find a fourth linebacker and I just didn't I don't want Curtis Gray
Starting point is 00:13:58 I don't want Brian Osamoa I don't want Curtis Gray Curtis Jack Jacobs like I kept trying to decide whether I wanted Osamoa or Jacobs or you know and I'm sorry but I don't want any of them
Starting point is 00:14:13 I think the Titans keep three linebackers on their initial 53 but I think they use a waiver claim on one or two. Like the Titans are going to carry at least, at least, at least four linebackers on the roster this year. They're not going to have three linebackers on the roster all year. But the first initial 53, why would you use a roster spot on Curtis Jacobs or Brian Ossemoa?
Starting point is 00:14:40 Why? Why do that? They're not valuable enough to do that. So just go in with three, understanding that you're going to cut somebody who makes the initial 53 to add a linebacker on waivers. That's what I would be doing if I was the Titans. There's just no reason to keep a fourth linebacker if none of them have proven that they're worth it.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Now, we move to the secondary. At cornerback, Legerius Sneed, Jarvis Brownlee Jr., Roger McCreery, No surprises there, right? Go with Marcus Harris, the Titans rookie, cornerback out of cow, Daryl Baker Jr., who I think has been passed on the depth chart by Marcus Harris, but Daryl Baker Jr. still someone you can count on
Starting point is 00:15:30 who knows the system who's been around. And then I am going to add Gabe Judy Lawley. Like, to me, I would rather keep Gabe Judy Lawley on the team than one of the fourth linebackers. I would rather keep Gabe Judy Lawley on the team than one of the fifth interior defensive lineman. Now, I think Gabe Judy Lawley gets cut on Wednesday. I don't think that Gabe Judy Lawley stays on the team.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I think he's one of those guys who's a placeholder player. All right? And the Titans are going to go to the waiver claim and look to get another cornerback. Or even go to free agency for a Razul Douglas or an Asante Samuel Jr. or something like that depending on what they really feel like behind the scenes with Legerius Sneed.
Starting point is 00:16:13 but let me say this Gabe Judy Lawley is a guy who's played in the slot and he's played a little bit outside but he's primarily been Roger McCreary's backup throughout the process with Roger McCreery being a slot with Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Starting point is 00:16:33 being a guy who I think is more suited for the slot and he even said that when he came out of college with Marcus Harris also being a guy who I think is better in the slot. You have three guys right there who are going to make the roster, who I think are at their best playing slot nickel cornerback. What the Titans need, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:16:58 is not for their sixth cornerback to be a slot guy like Judy Lawley, if that's what the Titans see. The Titans need more help at outside corner, where Legerious Sneed may be uncertain with this health. health, where again, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is a shorter, smaller, outside corner. Marcus Harris, again, a smaller, shorter outside corner. The Titans need more cornerbacks with size that can play on the outside. They have enough cornerbacks that could be good on the interior if Roger McCreary were to get banged up.
Starting point is 00:17:30 I would rather have an outside corner who could, if Roger McCreary were to get hurt, or if Jarvis Brownlee Jr. were to get hurt, or if Marcus Harris were. to get hurt, or if Lageria Steed were to get hurt. They could play on the outside, and then you could kick Marcus Harris or Jarvis Brownlee Jr. or leave Roger McCreary inside. To me, it's not even a question. The Titans need outside boundary cornerbacks with size and length more than they need more slot guys.
Starting point is 00:18:00 So if they see Gabe Judy Lawley is a backup slot, I just don't think that he's somebody who they necessarily need to keep on the roster. And here's the thing. if the Titans keep Gabe Judy Lawley on the roster through the initial 53 and then use a waiver claim and cut Gabe Judy Lawley other teams will have already filled up their practice squads
Starting point is 00:18:23 and you've got a better chance to getting Gabe Judy Lolley back on your practice squad which is what I think the Tennessee Titans really want they want to keep him around so that they can continue developing him so that's where I see the cornerback room now we finish with safety five safeties I don't think this is super controversial. Amani Hooker,
Starting point is 00:18:42 Xavier Woods, Kevin Winston, quandary digs, Mike Brown. I went with Mike Brown over Kendall Brooks. I thought Kendall Brooks was very impressive throughout the preseason. But I went Mike Brown like I talked about recently because he is the personal protector for the punt coverage team.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Mike Brown is a critical, very important special teams member. I don't think that quandary digs is going to play a bunch of special teams. You don't want to overwork Kevin Winston Jr. having him play a bunch of special teams. so I think a guy like Mike Brown who can be that
Starting point is 00:19:11 that number one special teams player from the safety position I think that's critical so I think Mike Brown makes the team so if you're keeping score at home that's four interior defensive linemen three linebackers five edge rushers
Starting point is 00:19:26 that's 12 and then we went with five safeties and six cornerbacks so we're up to 23 players on the defensive side of the ball to go with the 26 players that we had on offense yesterday
Starting point is 00:19:46 or we had 27 on offense yesterday and we have 23 players plus the three specialists Hecker, Sly and Cox so that's 26 with special teams in defense 27 with offense that's your 53 and let's talk about the full picture of the roster right now I do want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Yahoo! Fantasy.
Starting point is 00:20:15 The NFL season is right around the corner, and you can feel the buzz. Fantasy football season is here. Everyone's researching, drafting, building their championship squads.

Starting point is 00:21:36 Titans fans, let's cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We talked about how the roster cuts have already begun. The Titans cut 16 players. Xavier Estrepo wasn't one of them. We did my roster predictions on the defensive side of the ball. Now, I want to take a look at the roster as a whole and once again talk about, you know, the waiver claim and how the Titans are going to set this up. But before I do want to thank you again for making Locked on.
Starting point is 00:22:06 and Titans your first listen for your second listen check out locked on fantasy football i told you where to play your fantasy football now you need to get advice for your fantasy football leagues from locked on fantasy football with viny ire and the data queen michelle maju they're going to get you ready for your fantasy draft so you can take home the trophy this season find locked on fantasy football on youtube or wherever you listen to podcasts but looking at the entire roster here for the tennessee titans again at quarterback two quarterbacks Cam Ward, Brandon Allen, did four running backs with Tony Pollard, Tage Spears, Callum Mullings, and Julius Chestnut, although I think Tage Spears is probably going to go
Starting point is 00:22:46 on injured reserve is, I think, what's going to happen. He's going to go on injured reserve to start the season, which is going to open up a spot right away. Then at wide receiver, Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, Tyler Lockett, Bryce Oliver, Chim D.K., Elicayo Manor, and James Prochet. Prochay getting that designated punt returner role. that is seven wide receivers then tight ends, four tight ends Chica Conquo, Gunnard Helm,
Starting point is 00:23:11 David Martin Robinson, Josh Wiley don't think the Titans are going to have four tight ends all year. I think they settle on three but they don't have their third tight end yet. Went with 10 offensive linemen a backup for every spot. Dan Moore, Peter Skoronsky, Lloyd Cushionberry Kevin Zeitler,
Starting point is 00:23:29 not Daniel Brunskill following along their home. J.C. Latham, John Adjuku, Blake Hans, Corey Levin, Jackson Slater and Ali Udo. So that's what I have on the offensive side of the ball that goes with what we talked about on defense. And again, I just don't think,
Starting point is 00:23:45 I just don't think that this 53-man roster is what 53-man rosters have been in the past for the Titans. We have talked about, you know, the 53-man roster for the Titans, and it's going to be mostly the guys who are going to be on the team. But I just think there's going to be so much waiver claim activity for the Titans this year. five to seven guys is what I would say for waiver claims. And again, the Titans have the number one waiver claim.
Starting point is 00:24:11 This is not like your fantasy football league where once you use the waiver claim on a player, you go to last. No, the Titans finished last in the NFL last year. They get number one waiver claim all offseason. And the way that this works is take every player that's cut in the NFL. The Titans can claim 20 of them if they wanted to. every player in the NFL the Titans have right of first refusal
Starting point is 00:24:37 Basically the Titans get to look at every player And say no I don't want him No I don't want him Yes I do want him Yes I do want him Basically the Titans get to go through the grocery store First before anybody else They could pick as many heads of lettuce
Starting point is 00:24:51 They can pick as many ribby steaks They can make as many bags of chips And then everybody else gets the leftovers after that And that's going to be the case for the Titans until week four of the NFL season So that's going to be a huge, huge advantage for them this year. And it's not like they go back to the bottom of the line after they use their waiver claim.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Again, they can use as many as they want. Now, I would say 5 to 7 is what makes the most sense. Now, I want to say this too. Waivers don't work for every player. Every player is not available on waivers like Mike Hilton. Mike Hilton is a veteran cornerback, was playing for the Dolphins this preseason. The Dolphins cut him.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Mike Hilton has been in the NFL for more than four years. So he is not subject to waiver claims. That's only for people with less than four years of NFL service to their record. So not everybody is a... If the Titans cut Calvin Ridley right now, he wouldn't go on waivers. He's a vested veteran who would get to be a free agent and pick whatever team he wants.
Starting point is 00:25:55 So not every player that gets cut that you see is somebody that the Titans can pick up on waivers, just so you realize that. But, anybody else, the Titans, again, get first crack at. So keep that in mind as players start to get cut on tomorrow's show after we see what the roster cutdowns look like. I'll probably look at some other guys who got cut who interest me at minimum, guessing who the Titans are going to claim on waivers is a losing game.
Starting point is 00:26:20 And you know how it works for me. I can make a prediction. If I'm not 100% right, everybody goes nuts. Even though nobody cares when other people gets prediction wrong. But let me be one player wrong on my 53-man roster. and, you know, I'm going to hear about it all day long. But I'm not going to be out here guessing waivers. But I'll tell you some guys that I'm interested in after we see all of the cuts around the NFL.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Remember, the best players that are going to get cut are all going to get cut on Tuesday. Do you want to mention one thing that's not about a cut. Jacoby Myers requested a trade from the Raiders. I don't think that he gets it. But Jacobi Myers is the type of player who the Titans might be able to do, they might be able to do Van Jefferson. and a fifth round pick. And Jacoby Myers is a much better player
Starting point is 00:27:06 than Van Jefferson. I don't think the Titans should do that. I don't think Jacobi Myers is good enough for the Titans to make that play. But the reality is, Jacob Myers has had like 800 yards for four straight seasons. He's a very consistent, very productive,
Starting point is 00:27:21 very professional player. I think there are other teams out there that it would make more sense for, like the Steelers who are more trying to win right now. But I know that there are going to be some Titans fans who see that and say, oh he would make sense and he would make sense I think Jacobi Myers is a good possession receiver
Starting point is 00:27:36 who would make sense with Calvin Ridley and would take some pressure off the younger wide receivers again much better player than Van Jefferson in my opinion but to make it happen I just don't know if it makes sense for the Titans but if they find a way to make it happen it's not something that I'm going to be against like sure let's make wide receiver better around Cam Ward I just don't I just don't know if there's going to be a deal
Starting point is 00:27:57 that does make sense for the Titans but with that in mind that is going to do it for me today folks roster cutdowns will be complete by the time we talk tomorrow. Can't wait to dive into all that with you guys. I might be going live at 4 p.m. Eastern time when the cuts are official. Might do that. Might not though.
Starting point is 00:28:12 We'll see. But that's going to do it for me today. Folks, as always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland. And this was Locked on Titans. Thank you.
