Tre McBride, WR

Age when the league starts: 27

Stats of note: Led the league in yards per catch 

I added Tre McBride here partially as a joke given the Tennessee Titans unabashed love for him during the dark days of the franchise. However, with Tajae Sharpe likely leaving and with Corey Davis potentially gone after this year, there isn’t a lot of harm in potentially signing McBride.

I’m not advocating him as a big threat in the offense, but he is probably going to end up on an NFL team before training camp starts and with the Titans still needing a return man and receiver depth, this could become less and less of a joke the longer free agency goes on.

It shocks me that he is just 27 because I feel like we have been talking about him for a decade now, but I expect Jon Robinson and Vrabel to be in on some of these battle tested guys who don’t stop fighting.

Also, how funny would it be for the Titans to bring him in with an entirely new regime that had no idea about the fan support he had just a few years ago.
