4. Jonnu Smith

Tight end is another position where the Titans have a ton of talent, which does not bode well at all for Jonnu Smith.

They could look to trade the third-year tight end, who has shown flashes of being a playmaker offensively but has mainly been a disappointment.

After the Week 1 injury to Delanie Walker in 2018, Smith took over as the teams’ top tight end, having an opportunity to prove his worth.

However, that did not happen. Smith only caught 20 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns, and never really seemed to consistently make an impact the way Walker did. He tore his ACL late last season, and he really hasn’t had much of a role in the offense at all since returning to the lineup this season.

The Titans still have MyCole Pruitt and Anthony Firkser on the roster, so they could stand to cut their losses with Smith and give those two an opportunity as the reserve tight ends.
