The Tennessee Titans have officially started looking at general managers, and here are the guys they have their eyes on publicly.

Eric Decosta, Baltimore Ravens

This is THE GUY in the GM search this year. Decosta has been at the side of Ozzie Newsome and has been one of the the best, if not the best talent evaluating GMs in the league.

While many believe that Decosta is waiting for Ozzie Newsome to retire so he can move up to GM of the Ravens, there is some reason to doubt that now. The Ravens are about to start a rebuild around a quarterback, if there was any time for Newsome to step down and for Decosta to step into a good situation, this would be it.

However, with nothing even close to this happening, Decosta who is only 15 years younger than Newsome may not feel like waiting to make his name.

    • Being the crown jewel of this offseason, this is his chance to cash in and get a great job. Currently, the Titans have the most attractive team of any of the openings because you don’t have to force in a QB, you have one. Not only that, but you have tons of cap space and the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. This is a dream situation for any potential GM, all he has to do is pick up the phone.

    Marc Ross, New York Giants

    I won’t go as much into these next two, frankly because I don’t really like them. I think Jerry Reese is a very intelligent GM that deserves much more credit for what he has done for that team.

    Paul Kuharsky said on the Midday 180 this afternoon that every thing he had heard about Ross was not great.

    To his credit, the Giants did draft maybe the best wide receiver in the NFL in Odell Beckham Jr. last year. They also at least made an attempt to surround Eli Manning with some offensive linemen and some better running backs.

    All in all, I think he knows what to do if given the job, but he isn’t the flashy hire that everyone will rave about.

    Jimmy Raye, Indianapolis Colts

    I don’t like what the Colts have done, and outside of drafting Andrew Luck (which literally anyone on planet Earth who has watched football could do) he hasn’t done anything great or even really good.

    Kuharsky (again on the Midday 180) said that maybe he was the driving force making it not worse. Honestly though, I don’t know what he could have possibly done to make a case for himself. Did they draft Bjoern Werner over some other bust so that he was slightly better? Did they sign Andre Johnson to a pretty big contract instead of Hakeem Nicks?

    I mean, I get the argument but the Titans shouldn’t settle for someone who has made a situation “less-bad” they should look for someone who has actually done good things and put his team in the position to build and grow every year.
