Only 3 ways the Tennessee Titans should use their new money

Plan C: Make everyone happy

So what if the Titans strike out and don’t add anyone in free agency or in a trade?

Well, one thing you could do with that money is try to convince some people to sign extensions before the season starts and before the cap resets after the new TV deals.

Obviously, the place to start would be with Derrick Henry who would could now move off of a franchise tag and give him a lot of guaranteed money this year while allowing yourself the flexibility to move on down the road if you need to.

Jayon Brown and Jonnu Smith are both set to hit free agency after this season and both players are very important to this offense.

Jonnu Smith has looked like a different player this year and he finally seems to be putting it all together and becoming a real threat in the passing game.

Funnily enough, Brown is also a key part of the passing game just on the other side of the ball. The fourth year linebacker has sideline to sideline speed and has shown the ability to be disruptive in coverage and as a blitzer.

If the Titans came out of this offseason with all three of those players on new, multi-year contracts, with lower than average cap hits for the 2021 season then you would have to feel good about the way that money was being used even if it doesn’t give you the immediate satisfaction of seeing someone who can help ease the pain of losing Casey.
