Tennessee Titans new 53rd man tells a lot about Marcus Mariota

What does this mean for the Tennessee Titans?

Something weird is happening. The Tennessee Titans just released two players (Firkser and Batson) to obviously make room for two new players.

The first is Nick Williams, preseason star for doing a little bit of everything. He should give the Titans a designated slot receiver and a special teams gunner if they want to have him active.

He is a really solid player and the Titans were just waiting on him to get healthy to bring him back, which explains why they were keeping Batson as a placeholder for numbers sake.

So, who is the other play? That is a really good question.

This is the whole reason why it is weird. Usually if you cut two, you add two in the same press release, easy math. But now there is just an open spot on the 53 man roster.

You would expect another TE right? Well, not so fast. The Titans only kept 4 TEs because they thought they had a lot of talent there and couldn’t make a cut. Since then, Delanie Walker went down and they brought in MyCole Pruitt.

Well, I don’t think 4 TEs is in the cards now and with 3 TEs on the team, then I don’t expect them to bring in a new TE over Firkser.

So is it going to be something gameplan specific for this week? I don’t know, but it sure feels like there is something going on.

If the Titans go out and sign or trade for a quarterback, it could tell us that Marcus Mariota is going to be out for this week and maybe beyond for an undetermined amount of time.

Now, if they bring in another linebacker or something we will know they are just churning the bottom of the roster like New England frequently does. However, keep your eyes on if Tennessee adds another quarterback soon. Maybe even today.
