The Tennessee Titans enter a very important season at the quarterback position with starter Marcus Mariota in the fifth year of his rookie deal and still looking to fully prove himself as the franchise QB.
Behind him are former Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who will essentially serve as an overqualified insurance policy, and Logan Woodside, recently acquired from the dissolved Alliance of American Football.
Even with these three names, the Titans are still very much in the market for a developmental quarterback.
After all, if Mariota falls short of the expectations or is sidelined by injuries, the Titans could very well have to go back to the drawing board on offense.
In a recent mailbag post. Titans team reporter Jim Wyatt addressed a question from a fan on the possibility of the Titans picking up another quarterback.
“After signing Logan Woodside, the team now has three QBs on the roster (Marcus Mariota, Ryan Tannehill, and Woodside). I think a fourth will be added, but he could be just an undrafted free agent,” Wyatt wrote.
Luke Falk could have been a candidate, but he was waived last September and was quickly picked up by the Dolphins.
“The Titans would like to develop another QB, so if there’s a guy available the team likes, then it could happen again. That’s what the team wanted to do with Luke Falk last year, but when he was released from the 53 the Dolphins gobbled him up, and kept him from being added back to Tennessee’s practice squad, which was the plan.”
