Starkiller Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 Now that we know what holes are still needing to be filled, it’s time to scrape the bottom of the barrel start looking to fill in those holes. They need a starting safety, everything else is negotiable. This isn’t a list of guys I want to sign, just a list of name vets who are available. Some of them are of no real interest to me, but I’m just throwing them out there. No, I don’t want to sign Chase Claypool… S: Justin Simmons Marcus Maye Eddie Jackson Jamal Adams Quandre Diggs WR: Tyler Boyd Hunter Renfrow Michael Gallup DJ Chark Russell Gage Michael Thomas Marquez Valdes-Scantling Odell Beckham, jr Chase Claypool RT: Meckhi Becton Donovan Smith Andrus Peat Edge: Carl Lawson Dawuane Smoot Tyus Bowser Shaq Lawson Charles Harris Emmanuel Ogbah Yannick Ngakoue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 I wonder if Kyle Phillips is the dark horse candidate to take hold of the 3rd spot. Maybe he helped give the FO a reason not to draft a receiver until the 6th round. Or maybe I'm talking out of my ass. But Phillips was always an afterthought on offense with the previous staff. If we're really going to a more open offense then there will be more food on the table for receivers to eat. Maybe we had a hidden gem on the roster the whole time? I'm also saying all of this because that list of FA receivers makes me queasy and Phillips being a dude would make this easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 I think Phillips is the #6 WR and game day inactive. At least to start the season. Jackson has to be #5 to be up on game day so he can return. The fact they took Jackson over M Washington, who is a much better WR, tells us they want a dedicated returner active.

AvgJoe Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 Justin Simmons is my #1 target Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanskick8851 Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 Simmons, Peat, Boyd, and Lawson would fill in some spots nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbtack Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 Peat come on down. Inside/outside swing guy. We give him probably the best opportunity to earn a starting spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson may be a better slot than many hear expect. Has pretty good short area quickness...and 4.4 speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 S, another edge guy, and perhaps a vet RT (Hubbard) would be the logical/sensible pickups. S wise, Simmons and Diggs make the most sense to me albeit the Titans coaches do have a history with Adams and Maye. I'd throw Dupree into the edge mix with those other guys. His issue before was more the contract ROI but he has as much tread left as these others listed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prine06 Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 Salary wise who of this list are we realistically looking at? Simmons would be great but is probably still getting decent cash. Boyd seems to be the only decent option, still older but productive. Can fill in if Hopkins/Ridley go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 Who is even left to be our blocking TE? Do we have anyone in the pipeline already who could do that? Rader? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justafan Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 Whyle is the inline TE. He's supposedly bulked up to be that guy since Okonkwo will be the move TE. Simmons is a great target and I doubt there are many teams who still have the cap room to make him a competitive offer. Would also love to see Lawson help round out the edge rushing group. WR there are some interesting names on that list but I think they'll stick with what they have at this point. No really good OTs out there that are truly worth the money. Now that you've upgraded the LT spot, I think it makes sense to see if Hubbard (EDIT* I meant NPF here) can hold up at RT. Long way of saying bring in Simmons and Lawson and call it good until after camp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
