Which EDGEs should the Tennessee Titans target in trade talks?
Week 3 of the preseason is always interesting and the majority of the focus for Tennessee Titans fans is the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
However, it is also the time where teams decide whether or not they need to bolster a position through a trade and there are already some big names being thrown around.
Washington Redskins star LT Trent Williams among them, who apparently is set to fetch a steep price on the trade market:

It was also around this time last year that everyone was talking about how a Khalil Mack trade wouldn’t happen because no one was going to give him a huge deal AND give up enough to entice the Oakland Raiders to move on from him.
Fast forward and the Chicago Bears look smart and the Oakland Raiders are still being criticized for it.
Forge the results of that trade though, the important thing is that the trade happened.
Right now I am not concerned about a potential mystery injury to Harold Landry, and I really like Cameron Wake and Sharif Finch as rotational EDGEs opposite him.
But, if you were to ask me what the one thing this team is missing defensively it is a proven EDGE who still has 3+ good years in front of him. Someone that can thrive opposite Harold Landry for the duration of his rookie contract, and maybe longer.
With that criteria I went through the NFL and found some players who fit, then graded how likely that is to happen.
(Understand, when I say very likely or not likely I am just talking about whether or not their would be mutual interest from both sides not whether an actual deal would happen. That has to deal more with compensation and future deals than anything)
