They also have a bunch of money to spend once the signing period commences. … Some big-name wide receivers around the league are in the final weeks of their current contracts and could be available soon, but the one guy among them who makes the most sense (and who most excites the fan base) likely will not be available once the time comes. … Largely overlooked among Tennessee’s current needs is an experienced backup quarterback who can help Will Levis and keep the offense going, if needed. One such player who has proven himself in that regard (and who has beaten the Titans) is headed to free agency and makes a lot of sense. … Cornerback is another area of need. It is also a challenge to find the right fit at that position on the free-agent market. … After free agency comes the draft.
