The Tennessee Titans went into the offseason knowing they needed to upgrade the supporting cast around quarterback Cam Ward. General manager Mike Borgonzi went into free agency with a considerable amount of spending money at his disposal. The Titans made a splash at wide receiver by signing Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year contract worth $70 million.
Robinson to Tennessee felt like the worst-kept secret in the league before free agency even began. He had spent the previous four seasons (his entire NFL career) playing for new Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. A reunion with the Titans always felt inevitable.
The Titans later selected wide receiver Carnell Tate at fourth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, spending another premium resource to improve the position. Tate and Robinson will be the unquestioned top two wideouts on the roster. After a strong OTAs and minicamp period, Robinson appears primed to be a game-changer for the offense this season.
Titans WR Wan'Dale Robinson is looking like a smart free-agent gamble
Ward and Robinson consistently displayed chemistry throughout offseason workouts. Robinson's willingness to attend the voluntary portion spoke volumes about his commitment. He looked like a potential go-to target for the passing offense.
Robinson's experience in Daboll's offense was imperative to the decision to pay him $70 million over four years. The former Kentucky standout has literally spent his entire NFL career playing in Daboll's offense, perhaps subtracting half of the 2025 season after he was fired midway through the campaign. That comfort level should allow Robinson to hit the ground running though.
Robinson is coming off consecutive 90+ catch campaigns in Daboll's offense. In 2025, he registered the first 1,000 receiving yard season of his career. He's arriving in Tennessee with serious momentum at his back.
The Titans paid Robinson handsomely to help make Ward's life easier. The indications from OTA and minicamp workouts are that placing him right back in Daboll's offense was a wise move for the Titans. He should be an extremely reliable passing-down option for the offense.
