The only free agents the Tennessee Titans will pay attention to this offseason

Running backs
-Alright, so I said that they required a coach vouching for them last year but I will say that given how much Ryan Tannehill did for the offense this year, maybe his vote means just as much.
While there was some crossover in coaching between Drake and DL coach Terrell Williams, there hasn’t been any direct contact other than Ryan Tannehill who worked with him extensively.
Given how good Drake looked in Arizona this year, I doubt he is on the move but the Tennessee Titans were rumored to be in the market for him last year before he was traded.
-When the Raiders move to Las Vegas, I am not sure that they are going to bring DeAndre Washington with them. That might make him an interesting late second wave target for the Tennessee Titans.
Washington played under current TEs coach and former Raiders OC Todd Downing in 2017 where he was used as a 3rd down back. The Titans could use someone like that in their offense who doesn’t cost an arm and a leg like Dion Lewis.
-Miller is intriguing because Vrabel and Pat O’Hara were with him for two years in Houston when he was the lead back behind a very bad offensive line. In their last season together, Miller had the highest yards per target average of his career at 7.3.
With the Titans needing a 3rd down back and Miller needing a role that doesn’t throw him directly into the fire, a one year deal as the backup in Tennessee as he recovers from his ACL injury, could make a lot of sense.
