PFF Analyst Breaks Down Titans Biggest Offseason Roster Question

Nashville, Tenn. – With the NFL Scouting Combine looming in Indianapolis, the Tennessee Titans enter a pivotal stretch armed with more salary-cap space than any other franchise and a mandate to turn resources into results. Pro Football Focus analyst Bradley Locker believes the single biggest roster question facing first-year head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Mike Borgonzi is not whom they will draft, but how they will deploy a league-high $104 million in cap space.

“Adding a stud at wide receiver for Cameron Ward makes sense,” Locker wrote, noting that Calvin Ridley posted only a 66.7 PFF receiving grade last season. Among the potential free-agent upgrades Locker identified are Alec Pierce, Wan’Dale Robinson and Jauan Jennings, each of whom could provide the consistent separation Tennessee lacked in 2025.

The urgency is not limited to the perimeter. After finishing 30th in PFF’s pass-rush grades, the Titans are expected to pursue edge-rushing reinforcements before the draft. Whether Borgonzi opts for splash signings, value deals modeled on last year’s Patriots approach, or a hybrid strategy will set the tone for Saleh’s inaugural campaign.

Tennessee may again pick in the top four of April’s draft, yet the franchise’s immediate trajectory hinges on choices made well before the selection card is turned in. With free agency still weeks away, every dollar of that $104 million represents both opportunity and risk—an equation Locker calls the offseason’s defining storyline in Nashville.
