Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans TRADE Roger McCreary as TANK JOB BEGINS, Next Trade Candidates & Mike McCoy's Role

Episode Date: October 27, 2025

The Tennessee Titans made one of what could be many trades coming soon as they shipped cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams with a swap of late round picks. This is step one in what could... be a full-on tank job from the Titans down the stretch of this season. McCreary could just be the first of a few trades that could took place before next week's deadline and names like Calvin Ridley, Arden Key and Tony Pollard should be at the top of the list of candidates. Finally, Mike McCoy had some interesting answers recently that show he was the perfect candidate to lead this tank job, and McCoy knows it. 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!PelotonLet yourself run, lift, flex, and push forward.

Starting point is 00:00:00 The Tennessee Titans tank job is on as they trade Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams. And not only do I like the trade, I want to seem more like it. I'll explain why 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 00:00:42 And if your bet wins, you'll get $300 in bonus bets to use across the app on today's show. We're going to talk about the trade for Roger McCreary and why I think it's obvious that that shows the Tennessee Titans are ready to get the tank rolling. We'll talk about who could be dealt next now Before the NFL trade deadline next week and I'll tell you why Mike McCoy showed this weekend He is the perfect tank commander for the Tennessee Titans Before we get into all of it do want to thank you for making locked on Titans Your first listen each and every day remember Monday through Friday Tennessee Titans content
Starting point is 00:01:18 All year round always for free you're not gonna beat that anywhere else make sure that you get subscribed Stay subscribed it's your team every day speaking of every day Shout up to my everydayers out there. Tune in Monday through Friday. Couldn't do it without you guys. If you aren't in everyday or you need to be one, the Titans are probably gonna make more trades between now and the deadline. You wanna stay up to date on all of the transactions.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Also, we got Cam Ward starting to play better football. Excited to talk about that this week as well. And the Titans need a new head coach and I'll be ready to keep you updated on all of the best candidates. But we gotta talk about the big trade that happened on Monday. Roger McCreery to the Los Angeles Rams. The details of the trade are not as important as what I think this trade means. And again, I think this is step one of the Tennessee Titans tank job.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I mean, step one was them losing all of their games almost so far going one and seven in the first eight weeks. That's obviously step one to be in a tanking team as being terrible. But this is the first move where Roger McCreary was a good player. All right. The only reason that you would do this right now is if you have totally, given up on the season especially with Legerius Sneed injured Jarvis Brownlee Jr. already traded Darryl Baker Jr. being injured like the Titans don't have any numbers at cornerback so they would only make this trade if they are
Starting point is 00:02:39 truly committed to losing the rest of the season and I think that is a hundred percent what they are doing here they are accepting their reality they are trading a player of value they are getting a little bit back and honestly like I said I like the trade here let's just go over the return. The Titans are getting a fifth round pick back and they're trading Roger McCreary and a sixth round pick to the Rams and I know on first blush that sounds terrible. But the reality is this is basically a two-round jump for the Tennessee Titans because there are conditions on the draft pick. The Titans traded for Ernest Jones, a linebacker
Starting point is 00:03:20 a couple of years ago when Rancart Thon was in control. The Titans traded their 2020 6th round pick So the Titans are going to get back Their original fifth round pick The earliest fifth round pick That the Los Angeles Rams have As they have multiple draft picks in the round All right great
Starting point is 00:03:39 That's going to be the Titans pick It's going to be a top five pick In round five And then the Titan 6th round pick That they're sending out Is the lowest 6th round pick That the Titans have The Titans have a couple of 6th round picks
Starting point is 00:03:52 They're going to send the lowest one That they actually have So this is actually going to be like a 40 to 50 pick jump in terms of value, which is almost two rounds. It's about a round and a half at minimum, no matter how things really shake out. That's where it's about to be. So, everyone's going a fifth or a six, but really it's about a round and a half of a jump for the Titans. And we got to talk about why Roger McCreary made sense to be traded
Starting point is 00:04:20 and why we've talked about him for the last couple of weeks. number one again Roger McCreery is a pretty solid player okay he's a good player he'd actually have value the Titans don't have a lot of good players what might be the most important thing is Roger McCreery was on the last year
Starting point is 00:04:37 of his contract the last year of his rookie contract was this season which means the Titans would have to give him a new free agent deal after the year and based on what we've seen here the Tennessee Titans didn't want
Starting point is 00:04:53 to give Roger McCreary a long-term extension to be a slot-only cornerback. So if you're not going to resign Roger McCreary and you're not going to win games with Roger McCreary and he's going to leave after the season, why wouldn't you trade him for something? Why wouldn't you get something back instead of nothing? It's simple.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Simple logic to me. Now, the question becomes should the Titans have wanted to sign Roger McCreery back? That is where you might be able, to find some problems. If you think that the Titans should have re-signed Roger McCreery, which I was open to bringing Roger McCreery back, then this isn't a good trade for you. But I think some of the realities that we have to accept is the Titans are looking for something different in their cornerbacks. McCreary isn't really a speed demon. He has really, really
Starting point is 00:05:42 short arms, really small hands. He can't make plays on the football. He's never been a guy that made plays on the football. He can't play outside. He has no positional version. versatility. He is a slot-only cornerback, and we saw him fail over and over and over again on the outside early in his career before it became obvious that he is a slot-only guy. The Titans like to play a ton of big nickel, where they have three safeties out on the field, and instead of having a third cornerback as their slot, they have a third safety as their slot, which meant schematically the Titans didn't need Roger McCreery as much as other teams might. so I'll be honest with you
Starting point is 00:06:23 does it suck that the Titans are tanking once again and looking to sell players away for draft picks yeah it's not good that's not fun I wish the team was better but with where the team is
Starting point is 00:06:40 and the reality of their situation I'm sorry but I think this is a good move Roger McCreery is a good player the Titans don't have any cornerback That's totally fair. But is Roger McCreary the difference in winning? No, he's not. They're losing games with him.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And him being a good player that they don't want to resign after the season is over isn't going to change the outcome of the year and it isn't going to make anybody feel better when they lose them for nothing in free agency. The Titans probably would have got a fifth or a sixth round comp pick, for Roger McCreary.
Starting point is 00:07:22 So you might as well go out and get it now when you really need it. And here's the thing. Two fallouts from this. Number one, it's not just about that individual draft pick. The Titans having a top five pick in the fifth round.
Starting point is 00:07:37 People are going to say, oh, what are they going to do with that? They're not going to draft anybody good. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. All right, maybe not. But what you can do is you could take a fifth round pick and a fourth round pick and maybe get into the third round.
Starting point is 00:07:49 you could take a fifth round pick and one of your sixth round picks and maybe get into the fourth round it gives you ammo to move around so any individual draft pick in the day three of the draft process probably isn't going to be too tantalizing and make anybody too excited
Starting point is 00:08:03 but the reality is it's just ammo that you can use to move around the board the Titans need to be able to have the ability to move around the board and go get guys that they need a positions they need a lot of help at so again
Starting point is 00:08:17 I know that in a vacuum it's not a good move for the Titans but considering their situation in the context here it makes sense and now the second thing of fallout is the Titans barely have anybody at cornerback
Starting point is 00:08:32 so I think we're going to see a lot more of rookie Marcus Harris who has great speed 4-3 athlete the Titans need more speed on the field maybe Marcus Harris who has struggled on special teams can get in and get some action on defense but with that being said again I want to see more trades. Let's keep the trades rolling here for the Tennessee Titans, a lot more names
Starting point is 00:08:53 than I think could potentially be dealt in the next week. I'm Cody Roark from Lockdown Brockos, and this episode is brought to you by Peloton.

We talked about how the Tennessee Titans are starting their tank job,
Starting point is 00:10:25 well, this is the first step and the obvious tank job with the trade of Roger McCreary, why I'm not opposed to the trade and why I think there should be more trades. And speaking of more trades, I'm going to tell you exactly who I think should be traded. Before I do, though, thanks again for making Locked-on Titans. Your first listen on tomorrow's show. We're going to break down what might have been Cam Ward's best game as a pro, made some incredible throws. It wasn't perfect, but it was a very good performance.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And I'm going to pair that with my Tick-Tac Titans YouTube channel film breakdown on Cam Ward's performance that'll be out on Tuesday. Make sure that you check that out and you check out tomorrow's episode breaking down some of the film of what I saw not only of Cam Ward, but of the first extended defensive performance of Kevin Winston, some offensive lines, some Chim Deke and Gunner Helm as well. A lot to discuss. Make sure that you stay locked in with the Locked on Titans podcast.
Starting point is 00:11:14 But again, I think there needs to be more. traits. And we talked about it last week about all the different names that I think makes sense for the Tennessee Titans to get rid of here. And Roger McCreary is step one, but again, I want to see, I'm going to see more steps taken to dismantling this team and getting as many draft picks as the Titans possibly can. And on the offensive side of the ball, I think the player with the most value for the Titans is Calvin Ridley. Now, the Tennessee Titans can eat some of Calvin Ridley's remaining $14 million salary. It wouldn't be the that hard for the Tennessee Titans to do that
Starting point is 00:11:48 makes it easier for them to trade him to another team when there isn't as much money being traded out. The Titans would have to eat around $10 million in dead cap next year to get Calvin Ridley off the books. That's fine. It's not about, again, the Titans would eat the 10 million next year. They would pay the majority of his remaining salary this year
Starting point is 00:12:07 to get a third round, an early fourth round draft pick. You know, let's say the Titans take this fifth round pick that they're going to get from the Rams or a sixth round pick that they have and combine that with Calvin Ridley to get a third or get a fourth. You know, there are definitely different ways to do it, but I think the Titans have been cautious
Starting point is 00:12:26 with Calvin Ridley over the last few weeks letting them come back from injury slowly because they want the opportunity to trade them if they get the right kind of value and there have been rumors out there that the Pittsburgh Steelers are a team that's interested in Calvin Ridley and I think that would be a great fit.
Starting point is 00:12:40 You have the big physical beast and D.K. Metcalfe. You get a speed guy like Calvin Ridley in that offense that they desperately need. You have young guys like Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson who can be, you know, kind of chain movers. And then they use a ton of tight ends. So I think that would be a great fit for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And again, if the Tennessee Titans can get a third or an early fourth round pick out of Calvin Ridley, I think that would be absolutely tremendous.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Any more than that, at some point, it's like we need to get value because Calvin isn't a free agent. It's not like he's leaving after the year. Maybe the Titans have the intention to cut him after the season and move on. Maybe that's the case, but healthy Calvin Redley can still help Cam Ward. You can still get the most out of Cam Ward. So whereas Roger McCreery is, hey, he's a free agent after the year. We don't want him back. He's not our style of cornerback anymore because of the short arms
Starting point is 00:13:35 and the lack of versatility and ball skills. All right. We don't want him. That makes sense. And the defense isn't getting any better. All right, Roger McCurry ain't going to make the defense any better. They're terrible. But Calvin Ridley can still help Cam Ward.
Starting point is 00:13:53 And Calvin Ridley is not a free agent, and the Titans could conceivably bring him back next year if they're unable to upgrade the room or they want to keep him around. It's not crazy to think that they would want Calvin Ridley back on the field if healthy to help Cam Ward, because like we're going to talk about in a second, all that matters for this team going forward
Starting point is 00:14:11 is Cam Ward playing better football. and Calvin Ridley can help that whereas Roger McCreery cannot so I'm only trading Calvin Ridley I'm not trading Calvin Ridley for pennies I want a third or a fourth round pick for Calvin Ridley or I'm not doing it all right that's that's that simple
Starting point is 00:14:27 it's weighing the pros and cons of the move but if Calvin Ridley is traded it's more opportunities for Jim D.K for Ellicayo Manor guys who also need to take steps forward as we get down through the rest of the season and I believe that they're starting to do that.
Starting point is 00:14:46 So more opportunities for those guys is perfectly fine. A guy who I think, unlike Calvin Ridley, is more likely to be traded is Chig O'Konkwa. Get rid of Chig for a sixth round pick. I don't need a lot from Chig. Chig was a fifth round pick to start with
Starting point is 00:15:03 so if you can get a sixth round pick back for him after he showed the player that he is is just a backup tight end and like Roger McCreary Chigacanquo is a free agent at the end of the year and the Titans probably aren't going to re-sign him and you have a guy like Gunner Helm
Starting point is 00:15:24 who is a better player than Chick-a-Conquo already get him more involved give all of Chigacanquo snaps to Gunner Helm and then have David Martin Robinson take the Chigacanquo role and play less why not How's that going to hurt the team? Chica Conquo is like leads the team and catches
Starting point is 00:15:46 but it's not because Chicka Conquo is such a good player he's a terrible route runner and he's just getting a bunch of dump-offs and garbage time from Cam that's why his numbers look that way so let's not lie about that and Chica Conquo could go and on a better football team be a smaller role player and make an impact
Starting point is 00:16:06 So I would get rid of Chick-a-Conkow for a sixth-round pick immediately if the Titans had that available to him, which I doubt they do. But he's one of the guys who I think is more realistic. Tony Pollard is another guy. Like, these teams out here need a veteran running back to come in and take carries, why not trade Tony Pollard for a fifth or a sixth-round pick? Get Tage Spears in there more. Shoot, play Julius Chestnut.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Like, Tony Pollard isn't playing good enough football and isn't running the ball well enough and the Titans' run game is terrible anyway. We're not hurting Cam Ward by getting rid of Tony Pollard. He's not doing enough to help Cam Ward right now anyways. The Titans aren't going to keep Tony Pollard after the season. He's going to be cut, like I've been telling you, since the off season. He's worn down from the workload last year.
Starting point is 00:16:52 He's not the same runner. He can't be a Belcal back and number one running back for the Titans anymore. So why not? Get something for him, rather than cutting him in the off season for nothing. I think Tony Pollard would be an excellent choice and now the last guy that I want to mention is Kevin Zitler maybe a better contending team would want to add offensive line depth
Starting point is 00:17:15 but Zitler's 35 he's not playing that grade of football so why would a team give up anything for him and and not only that but he is someone who is intimately involved with getting the best out of Cam Ward being one of their five all starting offensive linemen So if we're doing a list of guys who, if they help Cam Ward the most,
Starting point is 00:17:40 it's Ridley and then it's Zitler and then Chig and Pollard, whatever. So that's why I think it's more likely that Chig and Pollard are traded than it is Ridley and Zytler because Zytler and Ridley can actually help Cam Ward. But Ridley would have the most value out of any of those guys. So that's why he's still at the top of my list of guys who I would trade if possible because he's probably going to get the most value back if somebody does trade for him. So with that being said, though, the defensive side of the ball. To me, it's all defensive line.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Teams that need defensive, because there's nobody in the secondary who anybody would want now that Roger McCreary is gone. None of the linebackers, the Titans aren't given up, Cedric Gray, and nobody wants Cody Barton. On the D-line, you're not trading to Vondre's sweater, Jeffrey Simmons. So Sebastian Joseph Day, maybe for a 6th or 7th round pick could help somebody. Arden Key's name has been out there. Jihad Ward, Draymont Jones.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Dremont Jones is heating up. He's been playing some good ball as of late. He's on a one-year contract. The Titans probably aren't going to bring him back. Why not send him out for a 4th or a 5th round pick? Same thing with Arden Key. Fourth, fifth round pick. I would do that in a second.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Now you load up on early day 3 picks. Look, the Titans just took. Chim D.K.? Gunner Helm. Elicio Manor, all in the fourth round. I want Borgonzi to have as many early day three picks as possible. So if you can load up on fifth and sixth round picks that you can trade up back into the fourth round or take some fourth rounders and trade up into the third, like that is what you're looking for.
Starting point is 00:19:17 So the season is off the rails, folks. There's no reason to not make these moves if the right value pops up. And again, I'd trade any of these dudes for a sixth or a seventh outside of Ridley and Zeitler. Because why not? they're probably not coming back and this team isn't going anywhere fast but with that being said again I think the tank
Starting point is 00:19:37 is coming and I think Mike McCoy is the perfect guy to lead it do want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Ruggiat let's be real making excuses doesn't solve anything we've all heard them before it's just stress I'm tired

Starting point is 00:21:53 Make sure you head to fandle.com right now. Titans fans. Let's cap all today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. The Tennessee Titans make a trade trading Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams. I told you I like the trade considering the circumstances. I want to see more trades. We went over my trade candidates who I think could be next. but again, my big picture take away from all of this
Starting point is 00:22:32 is that the Tennessee Titans are embracing the tank now. This is, the Jarvis Brownlee Jr. trade seemed like it was personality-based. They just wanted Jarvis Brownley Jr. away from the team. questionable, but nonetheless, that seems like that.
Starting point is 00:22:49 This seems like a tank trade. Like, they seem like different moves to me. This is a expiring contract. we're not resigning you, have some value, get some draft pick capital back. That's what this is and we could see more of that, but Mike McCoy is just the perfect guy to do it. And interesting that yesterday on the sideline before these decisions, you have Mike McCoy and Bones Fossil
Starting point is 00:23:17 and they're kind of both looking at each other, listening to the headset, getting advice, and they have a spotter upstairs who gives them advice on GoFour at situations, what they're seeing, should you challenge, blah, blah, there's always a guy upstairs who's having those, you know, decisions, here's what the analytics say, we should go for two. There's somebody upstairs given advice so that the head coach can make the decision.
Starting point is 00:23:47 But I do wonder if Mike Borgonzi and Chad Brinker we're happy with the conservative decision-making on 4th Down yesterday. I wonder if Chad Brinker and Mike Borgonzi know that Mike McCoy is going to be conservative, know that Mike McCoy isn't going to get this team to any more wins, and that's exactly how they like it. There was an interesting interaction
Starting point is 00:24:20 at one of the press conferences last week, and credit Paul Kahl. who asked the question to Mike McCoy. I think it was on Sunday after the game. Usually the head coach does their media availability right after the game. And then the reporters were able to go into the locker room and talk to different players. And there are certain players who do standard press, you know, at the podium interviews afterwards. But the Titans haven't been doing that.
Starting point is 00:24:47 The Titans have been waiting for a little bit before Mike McCoy goes out there. And Paul asked. and Mike McCoy basically said that's what I've been told to do that's what I was asked to do so it's like the Titans are getting together and having some big PR meeting with the head coach
Starting point is 00:25:09 to make sure he doesn't say anything dumb or says what they want to say or whatever which is strange and not common around the NFL for the head coach to allow the players to take the questions first and then the head coach to go out there after and I think if the table
Starting point is 00:25:23 Titans are exerting that level of control over Mike McCoy. Like, we got to have a whole PR meeting before you're able to do press conferences. We're going to put you out there last. You know, it seems like the Titans are really trying to keep their thumb on the situation. And it would not shock me if that sort of attention to detail. and that sort of level of participation from outside sources, outside of the coaching staff, are also present in other parts of the football operation day-to-day,
Starting point is 00:26:04 if you catch what I'm saying. So I just don't think that it's crazy or out of the realm of possibility that Mike McCoy has been directed to be very conservative. You know what I'm saying? I just wouldn't be shocked. And I think this goes to a larger thing where a lot of people are taking aim at Chad Brinker
Starting point is 00:26:25 some at Mike Morgonzi but I think you're foolish and impatient if you have anything bad to say about Mike Borganzi right now but a lot of people are taking aim at Chad Brinker and I got to tell you I think that when Amy Adam Strump decided to fire Rancarthon and decided to fire Brian
Starting point is 00:26:50 Callahan, I think that she has decided that she is going to now be patient. And she's going to be patient with Chad Brinker and Mike Porcans. She is going to truly give them time. And they are probably telling her, we have to tear this thing all the way down. We are at the absolute bottom. We are nowhere close. This is going to take a few years. And, you know, Ray Korthon was the wrong guy.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Brian Callahan was the right guy. But I'm telling you, let's tear this thing down now. Let's get as many picks as we possibly can. And let me and him, Brinker and Borgonzi, let us do our thing to build this backup based on the experience we have from traditional winning organizations like Kansas City and Greenback. I think this is all connected.
Starting point is 00:27:45 And it may be frustrating to some people because there's so many people out there coming for Chad Brinker. But I don't think Brinker is getting fired anytime soon. I think it'll be years from now before Chad Brinker is fired because Amy Adam Strunk believes in Brinker and believes in Borgonzi and she is going to be like, all right, fine. I got rid of the two mistakes and Carthon and the guy who Carthon hired. All right, I messed up.
Starting point is 00:28:10 You guys told me I messed up. Brinker, you advised me on all the things that Ray Carthon did wrong and now you're my liaison. I let you hire a real football guy, to do the roster. You guys hire your coach that you actually want, and I will give you years. I'll do the patience thing to build this backup. And remember, why do they need to build it back up? Well, now that Roger McCreary is traded, there is only one player on the roster left from the 2020, 2021, and 2022 draft classes. And it's Chigacanquo, and he might be gone soon.
Starting point is 00:28:47 at least at the end of the year they're not going to re-sign them. That's why they need patience. That's why it's going to take time because they have one player on the roster from three straight draft classes just a couple of years ago. There's your answer, folks.
Starting point is 00:29:07 So I think Mike McCoy is the perfect guy for the tank job. He's going to be conservative. He's going to do as he's instructed. And I'm just telling you, I think that the upper management of the Titans have their hands on the wheel way more with certain things
Starting point is 00:29:23 than I think even we expected or realized. So I think Titans need to make more trades. The tank is on, tear this thing down even more and get ready for Breaker and Bergenzi to have a ton of job security the next few years and their head coach that they hire to get three years because now Amy Adam Strunk has no choice but to be patient and let's hope that these are all the right guys for it.
Starting point is 00:29:47 So that's all we can do at this point. But with that being said, again, make sure you check out my Cam Ward film breakdown that'll be out Tuesday on the TickTac Titans film channel. 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.
