Free agency isn’t over: 6 moves from 2019 prove Titans still have options
By Will Lomas
1. Robert Quinn
Quinn is one of the most slept on pass rushers of this generation and it is all because he started off his career with a nondescript St. Louis Rams where he spent two of his final three years injured.
If you ignore those two years where he was just solid and not great, Quinn is averaging over 10 sacks per season including getting 11.5 last season.
The Dallas Cowboys made an incredibly smart decisions by finding a team that was tanking in Miami and offering them just a 6th round pick for a player that they believed in at a key position.
Now, I don’t know which teams are tanking in 2020 because it isn’t as obvious as it was last year. However, if the Titans can correctly identify that team, they will undoubtedly find a talented player that the other team is willing to take lower value for in a trade.
Teams like the Washington Redskins, New York Jets, and New York Giants could all be interesting teams to target. Out of those teams, you can find guys like Ryan Kerrigan, Sterling Sheppard, Evan Engram, and Le’Veon Bell of of which could be looking for a way out either because they don’t believe in the team that they are on or because those teams know they will need more cap down the road to do something in a rebuild.
I’m not necessarily advocating for any of those moves to be made, but I will say that the Cowboys got an absolute steal and they probably turned the 6th round pick they traded for Quinn into an elite pass rusher for a season AND a 2021 3rd round pick.
If I told you that the Titans could do the same with one of their Day 3 picks this year, wouldn’t you do it?
