The Tennessee Titans are entering Monday's NFL free agency period needing additional help at the wide receiver position. Head coach Brian Callahan has Calvin Ridley as the lone reliable receiver in his offense. The problem? It may be difficult to find fair value in free agency, with many of the available players being ones the Titans should avoid at all costs.
Sifting through the free-agent receivers, you'll manage to locate a handful of pass catchers the Titans may be willing to sign as an instant contributor on a modest contract. Help may be available. We've identified four wideouts in particular general manager Mike Borgonzi should consider signing in free agency.
Dyami Brown
A 2021 third-round pick, Dyami Brown failed to meet expectations in Washington throughout the duration of his four-year rookie contract. In 2024, he finally flashed some upside while playing for superstar first-year quarterback Jayden Daniels. Brown recorded career highs in receptions (30), targets (40), and receiving yards (308). His arrow may be pointing up as a quality No. 3 or 4 receiver.
Darius Slayton
Darius Slayton was the definition of consistency with the New York Giants, recording four seasons of 700-plus receiving yards on 15 yards per catch in six completed campaigns. Slayton has achieved that despite the shaky quarterback and offensive line play he dealt with annually in East Rutherford. The former Auburn standout would offer Callahan's offense experience, leadership, and proven production. His price tag should also be fair and modest.
Joshua Palmer
Joshua Palmer has been a consistent contributor with the Los Angeles Chargers. Never truly elevating himself to WR2 territory, the Brampton, Ontario, Canada native has recorded three consecutive seasons of at least 580 receiving yards (769, 581, 584). Having averaged at least 15 yards per catch in back-to-back seasons, Palmer would offer whoever is playing quarterback for the Titans next season a consistent weapon at all three levels of the field.
Elijah Moore
Tyler Boyd is not expected back in Tennessee next season. Coach Callahan loves running three receiver sets (11 personnel) in his offense. The Titans don't currently have a like-for-like replacement for Boyd as a starting slot receiver on the roster. Elijah Moore has been a designated slot wideout throughout his career, and he'll turn just 25 years old this season. Moore caused a bit of a stink in the New York Jets locker room before being traded to the Cleveland Browns, so there's character questions to ask, but he accumulated 640 and 538 receiving yards apiece in two years in Cleveland despite inconsistent quarterback play.
