The Tennessee Titans will enter training camp with different expectations this year. After enduring consecutive three-win campaigns, the general sentiment is the team has improved enough to avoid a third straight disaster. General manager Mike Borgonzi has finally gotten this roster to a competitive place that possesses fewer excuses and more answers.
The Titans made eight picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the selection of wide receiver Carnell Tate at fourth overall. After taking a lowkey approach in free agency last offseason, Borgonzi totally shifted his strategy this year. The Titans committed a league-high amount of money (more than $310 million) to more than a dozen free agents.
Borgonzi's message was received. The Titans needed to accelerate their rebuild as another three-win campaign (or anything similar) is totally unacceptable. Resources have been spent to create a competitive window and the Titans' roster finally has more solutions than excuses.
Tennessee Titans heading into training camp with more solutions than problems
Look at the Titans' biggest positional weaknesses from last season and you'll see they've been vastly improved. Tate is expected to be a primary read on offense. The Titans also signed wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson to a $70 million contract to really strengthen the receiving core.
The Titans let head coach Robert Saleh reimagine the defensive line in his vision. They acquired a whopping five defensive linemen who previously played for Saleh at previous stops. That includes high-priced free agent signing John Franklin-Myers, trade acquisition Jermaine Johnson II, and other additions like Solomon Thomas, Jacob Martin, and Jordan Elliott.
Cornerback was another position that was a massive weakness last season. Borgonzi worked aggressively to sign new boundary starters Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott to lucrative (but fair) contracts. The team also added Joshua Williams in free agency to provide depth.
The Titans still possess lingering questions across the roster, especially on the offensive line. But coaching staff and various position groups included, there's no denying the Titans look vastly improved on paper. That should lead to more competitive practices at training camp.
