My Titans Wish List for Free Agency
By Sean Maczko
- WR Alshon Jeffrey (Chicago Bears)
Alshon Jeffrey is an incredibly talented, often injured wide receiver stuck on an underwhelming team in the Windy City. Jeffrey is playing the current 2016 under the franchise tag due to a lack of successful negotiations on both sides.
Jeffrey knows what his worth “should” be while the Chicago Bears top management is reluctant to heavily invest into a player that is plagued with ailments. If the Titans managed to bring in a WR of Jeffrey’s talent he would be the best WR1 the Titans have had in a really long time.
This would slide current WR1 Rishard Matthews down to a WR2 and instantly make the Titans WR corps a serious threat. Kendall Wright’s future is full ambiguity. He has left a lot to be desired with flashes of what he’s capable of. Jeffrey will be 27 years old heading into 2017 season and would be an incredible target for QB Marcus Mariota.
Adding a WR threat like Jeffrey also opens up more opportunities in the run the game which would ultimately lead to more play action which would be deadly with a speedy dual threat QB like Mariota.
