Titans’ post-NFL Combine twist has 5 names gaining steam fast

The Tennessee Titans made some big changes to their roster during the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, but they were also busy behind the scenes setting up future moves. Over the course of the event, the Titans were connected to several free agents and draft prospects.

First and foremost, the Titans seem to be heavily linked to Notre Dame running back, Jeremiyah Love.

Love was a big presence at the combine because he was the highest-ranked skill position player at the event, but Titans fans really started to take notice of him after Matthew Berry's reporting on a rumor he heard behind the scenes.

"The Tennessee Titans think that Jeremiyah Love is the best player in the NFL Draft."

No one inside the top three has been connected to Love at all, so that means that it is almost certain that he will be available for the Titans with the fourth pick. There would need to be a lot of work done in free agency to make that a viable move, but it would certainly be exciting.

Speaking of free agency, two names have continued to pick up steam as likely members of the 2026 Titans.

For weeks now, there have been rumors that New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and the Titans have mutual interest in reuniting the slot receiver with his former head coach, Brian Daboll. Those rumors have been confirmed as recently as Monday morning.

You don't need rumors and confirmation when a player outright says that he wants to go somewhere next year, and that is the case with Denver Broncos DL/EDGE, John Franklin-Myers. His versatility would be massive for the Titans' defense, and Robert Saleh, Aaron Whitecotton, and Tanzel Smart would all know exactly how to use him, considering the relationship they have from working together in the past.

Those are the three outside names being connected to the Titans, but there is also real interest in bringing two current Titans back next year.

Paul Kuharsky reported that the team has prioritized re-signing tight end Chig Okonkwo and guard Kevin Zeitler.

Bringing those two back would solidify tight end and offensive line, respectively, though they would still need to bring in a center to replace Lloyd Cushenberry.

The great thing about the Titans' cap space situation is that they could make all of these moves and still have $100 million available to spend on other areas of need. Things are about to ramp up as free agency officially kicks off next week, and you should expect to hear their name a lot considering their resources and apparent commitment to making this team better in the short-term and long-term.
