Should the Tennessee Titans take advantage of the Buffalo Bills misfortune.

The Tennessee Titans need to be looking for any piece that moves them a step closer to the AFC Championship game. Strangely enough, the Buffalo Bills may be a part of that addition.

The LeSean McCoy news/rumors are bad right now and I don’t know whether they are true or not. What I can say is that this offseason has been a nightmare for the Bills.

It seems like almost weekly Bills fans are having to deal with another retirement, injury or off the field issue with one of their players and I really feel for them. The McCoy stuff is just another horrible day in an offseason of despair for the Bills.

The reason I bring all of this up is because I think that this could be the event that really pushed the Bills to consider this a true, all-out, rebuilding year for the team.

I mean, let the rookie QB sit, really think about what is best long term and try to accumulate cap space and draft picks for the long term. Scrap the entire season and hopefully you are in a position to build around Josh Allen for the future.

This helps the Titans because, the Bills have two EDGEs that I think the Titans should covet to fill that EDGE4 slot.

The first is obviously Jerry Hughes who I think still has a few good years left in his career even though it has been a few years since he was really a threat as a top-line EDGE. He would make a lot of sense as a situational pass rusher in Tennessee.

The other is Shaq Lawson. Lawson really never reached any sort of peak in Buffalo due to a lot of injuries. In fact there are reports that despite 6 sacks in 11 starts, he may be on the roster bubble in Buffalo.

If the Tennessee Titans like either one of these players as a depth/rotational player, now might be the best time to make a call and gauge interest. The Jaguars got Marcell Dareus for peanuts despite him being one of their best defensive players of the last decade, so why would this year be any different?

I think there is something to be gained by making one of these moves. Maybe nothing that would jump out to everyone, but enough to where I think it could replace a liability or give the team a better chance at finding a depth player that would add a spark.

Once your starting roster is filled out, it is moves like this that help you take that extra step towards the championship game and beyond. No one is trade All-Pros right now, so if you are trying to find a way to make the team better without any major disruption, this makes sense to me.
