7 edge rushers Titans should target in free agency

The Tennessee Titans failed to improve their pass rush in 2020, leading to the team totaling just 19 sacks, the third-fewest in the NFL and tied for the fewest for a playoff team in a 16-game season in league history.

It wasn’t for a lack of trying, though. General manager Jon Robinson signed Vic Beasley and gave the people what they wanted by inking Jadeveon Clowney, but both simply didn’t work out.

Beasley was inept in all areas and was sent packing after five games, and Clowney’s season ended after just eight contests due to injury. In the end, neither player tallied a single sack.

Robinson can’t afford to whiff again this offseason, as the Titans’ window to win a Super Bowl isn’t getting any more open and this team can’t possibly take that next step if it doesn’t have a pass rush with a pulse once again.

Robinson, who is starting out over the cap and must find a way to free up space before he can even think of making moves, has to make all the right moves in order to avoid another disaster.

With all of that said, here’s a look at seven free-agent edge rushers Tennessee should be targeting this offseason.
