Tennessee Titans position battle: defensive tackle still unsettled
By Will Lomas
One potential trade.
I could theorize all day, but let me narrow it down to the one trade that I think makes the most sense.
It is time for Jon Robinson to admit one of his few mistakes and bring back Antwaun Woods from the Dallas Cowboys.

If you don’t know, Woods was an UDFA that the Tennessee Titans brought in after the 2016 NFL Draft and he was seemingly well liked but ultimately let go. Two years later he resurfaced as a rotational player with the Dallas Cowboys and has looked very good there.
The reason why he could be traded is that the Cowboys don’t have him under contract after 2019 and they are about to have to pay: Dak Prescott, La’el Collins, Amari Cooper, Allen Hurns, Byron Jones, and Jaylon Smith just to name a few.
Now, Woods would make that list too in most years, but the Cowboys are actually really deep at DT. Between the draft and UDFA they landed Trysten Hill and Daniel Wise, after they had already added Kerry Hyder and Christian Covington in free agency.
The aren’t going to keep seven defensive tackles in a four-man front, right?
So why not go ahead and bring in Woods who will be an RFA after this season to fill a short term gap and then to possibly be a young player to add to the Jurrell Casey, Jeffery Simmons rotation (Woods is just 26).
