Jadeveon Clowney and 4 other big moves the Titans could make next
By Will Lomas
Keenan Allen, WR
Alright, let’s swing for the fences here.
The future of the L.A. Chargers passing offense is probably Mike Williams, Hunter Henry and Austin Ekeler, and that is a good trio. Sure, having Keenan Allen is going to help those guys, but right now it looks like the Chargers are going to have to let Henry walk in a year given their cap situation.
Making that worse, it is time to start figuring out how to pay that defense with Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram, Chris Harris, Casey Hayward, Derwin James (5th-year option), and Uchenna Nwosu all set to become free agents in the next two years.
If we are being honest, the Chargers aren’t really trying to win in 2020 and they made that clear by saying that they feel comfortable starting Tyrod Taylor and then drafting Justin Herbert who probably needs some time to adapt to the NFL.
Instead, their best option is to trade Allen (who is in the final year of his deal) for a top-100 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. There they can load up on skill position talent if they want to, or even better they can grab Penei Sewell.
If you don’t know who that is, he is Oregon’s left tackle that people rave about and Herbert would obviously be extremely comfortable with him considering the time they spent together at Oregon.
The Titans have seen Allen twice in the Mike Vrabel era and in those contests, he combined for 9 catches and 133 yards including some really impressive grabs.
While the Titans offense isn’t the perfect fit for how much volume he wants, this doesn’t have to be a marriage. If the Titans trade the 3rd round comp pick they got for Jack Conklin and get back a year of a WR who averages 1,000-yard a season, then they will likely get that comp pick back in the 2022 draft.
In the meantime, they will add yet another weapon to an offense that would be absolutely loaded with threats.
