2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images There is so much going on in the NFL right now without anything actually going on. The window for teams to tag players opens tomorrow. Currently there are two tags teams can use, the franchise tag and the transition tag. In the new CBA there will only be one tag- the franchise tag. There is some chatter that if the new deal is agreed to in the next little bit the transition tag will go away for 2020. That makes things a little bit more interesting for a team like the Titans that has 2 players they could potentially tag- Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry. Well after yesterday’s speculation that Jon Robinson’s comments on the contract situations of Tannehill and Henry meant that the Titans only want to keep Henry, we have this from the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport: From NFL Now: With clarification coming on the franchise tags, more players are likely to be free. Meanwhile, the #Titans will try to get a deal done with QB Ryan Tannehill before the Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images It felt like a good time to release another one of these. With the NFL Scouting Combine on the horizon, my next mock draft could look significantly different. Nothing can help or hurt your draft stock more than a good or bad combine performance. Without further ado, here we go: 1. Cincinnati Bengals | Joe Burrow | QB | LSU Unless something drastic happens, it’s unlikely that I mock anyone other than Burrow to the Bengals here. They have a clear need at the quarterback position and Burrow is coming off a historically excellent season that he capped off by winning the Heisman and a National Championship. Burrow is coming home, Ohio. 2. Washington Redskins | Chase Young | EDGE | Ohio State If the Redskins stay put here, Young is the guy. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of action they get on this pick. Young has all the tools to become one of the elite pass rushers in the NFL. 3. Detroit Lions | Jeffrey Okudah | CB | Ohio State Detroit is Collapse

4 DAYS AGO - John Jones-USA TODAY Sports The Titans enter the 2020 NFL draft with a need to get more athletic on the edges. They went through a bit of a transition period with the 2019 season being the first time in a long time that Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo weren’t in the fold. Cameron Wake performed admirably when healthy, but missed the majority of the season and could be released in the next few weeks. Derick Roberson is a young guy that came on strong near the end of the season but let’s be honest, he’s van unknown commodity going forward. Kamalei Correa is set to become a free agent in a few weeks time and may have played his way into a lucrative contract elsewhere. Harold a Landry is a good start, but the time to add a quality starter opposite him is now. Tennessee will likely add at least one pass rusher by the end of the Day 2. We decided to pick one out they could conceivably take in every round. Round 1 | Yetur Gross-Matos | Penn State Gross-Matos is a target that makes a ton Collapse

7 DAYS AGO - John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports The Titans need pass rushing help badly. Willie McGinest has the top 10 pass rushers available this offseason. This list is pretty of whack, so much so that I thought it was David Carr’s. The Lions released Damon Harrison. The Titans have had interest in the run stuffing DT in the past, and it wouldn’t shock me if they kicked the tires on Snacks again. The NFL owners approved the proposed CBA. Now it is up to the players to accept the new 17 game schedule and 7 playoff teams. NFL.com has a FA match for each team. I thought this was a new FA for each team, but they copped out and said the Titans should just the band back together in 2020. MJD, former foe of the Titans, is now a big Derrick Henry fan. He says that Tractorcito is just getting started. Collapse

2/20/2020 - Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports Bruce Smith talks about Jurrell Casey and how special he is as a player. Casey has been truly a Titan Legend and I hope he continues to make plays for us for a long time. The Titans came to an agreement with Cameron Batson on a one year extension. Batson brings a speed element to the return game and the WR room. They need more, but having Batson back is nice depth. Mel Kiper likes Baun or Gross-Matos for the Titans. I would much rather prefer a FA pass rusher to a rookie EDGE guy, but we’ll see what JRob decides. Bill Barnwell would bring back all 4 of the Titans big 4 FAs. If they bring back Tannehill, Henry, Conklin and get a FA rusher, that would be a huge success. David Carr is something else. This list of best available QBs this offseason is absolute trash. The CBA talks are heating up, with rumors of a 17 game schedule and 14 teams making the playoffs. Collapse

2/19/2020 - Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images The 2020 NFL draft is loaded with talented play-makers, but some of the more intriguing prospects available are already being doubted because of their lack of ideal size. You can count Temple’s Zack Mesday among that group, but do so at your own peril. Mesday has traveled a winding road to the draft, from a light recruitment process to finally being welcomed as a preferred walk-on at Temple, to three knee surgeries throughout his football career. All along the way, thanks to his unshakable confidence and tireless work ethic, he’s proven the doubters wrong. Mesday recently spoke exclusively with MCM about his unique experiences, why he remains resilient, and what he’ll bring to an NFL team at the next level. JM: You’ve taken such an unprecedented journey. You were a preferred walk-on at Temple that eventually earned a scholarship, but your story didn’t start there. You’ve just completed your sixth year at Temple and you needed a waiver from the Collapse

2/19/2020 - Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports The Titans have a decision to make regarding Logan Ryan. If they keep him, great, if not, they will be in the market for a 3rd corner behind Malcolm Butler (if you all could tweet @BuckReising and see if he’s eligible to come off of IR) and Adoree Jackson. NFL.com has the best CBs that will hit potentially the market and draft eligible. Byron Jones is 2 spots too low on this list. Charley Casserly has fallen to the trap of giving the Titans a running back in the 1st round of the draft. Jim Wyatt says that the Titans don’t need to add a WR going into 2020, but I disagree. I like the options they have, but they need to add a speed element going into next year. NFL.com says that Ryan Tannehill is a no-brainer to receive a franchise/transition tag if the Titans can’t come to an agreement with him on a long-term contract. Collapse

2/18/2020 - Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports The Titans have quite a bit of cap space as is, but they could have even more if they cut some players. Delanie Walker, Dion Lewis, Ryan Succop, and Cam Wake are all candidates. Jim Wyatt flexes his mastery of the Spanish language with an answer to one of his mailbag questions. NFL.com says that the Titans should keep an eye on Jonathan Taylor at the scouting combine. Melvin Gordon believes that Phillip Rivers will sign with the Colts. The Titans need a burner at WR. NFL.com has a list of WRs that teams should be pursuing this offseason. Jameis Winston not making a list of most exciting athletes in sports is so disappointing. NFL.com says that the Buccanneers and Jack Conklin fit extremely well together in Free Agency. Collapse
