3. Ty Sambrailo

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it right?

Last year the Titans signed Sambrailo to a 1-year/$1.5 million deal and in return, they got a tackle that played in 9 games and who played more than 50% of the snaps in 8 of those games.

During that 8-game stretch, the Titans played 4 playoff teams and went 5-3. The offense was exceptional during that time averaging nearly 29 points which is even more impressive when you factor in that A.J. Brown, Corey Davis, Jonnu Smith, and Adam Humphries all missed time in that window.

This is a great opportunity for both the Titans and Sambrailo. Tennessee gets a cheap backup who has chemistry with the rest of the offensive linemen and who the coaches know how to use correctly.

Meanwhile, Sambrailo gets to get another deal (potentially a multi-year deal to lower the immediate cap hit) in a state whose tax laws are really beneficial to athletes. Maybe he spends two more years rotating in and out of the lineup when necessary and lands a starting job with the next offensive coordinator that leaves Tennessee to become a head coach.
