The Tennessee Titans have a total of seven free agents we would deem as key ones, including Corey Davis, Jonnu Smith, Jadeveon Clowney, Desmond King, DaQuan Jones, Stephen Gostkowski and Jayon Brown.
For five of them — Davis, Smith, Clowney, King and Brown — Spotrac has made predictions or a “best guess” as to where each will land in free agency.
Take a look:
Jonnu Smith: Jets (four years, $32 million)
Desmond King: 49ers (three years, $18 million)
Corey Davis: Titans (four years, $42 million)
Jadeveon Clowney: Packers (one year, $12 million)
Jayon Brown: Titans (four years, $44 million)
As far as signing players on the open market is concerned, Spotrac believes the Titans will ink Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Matthew Judon to a four-year, $65 million deal, which works out to $16.25 million per.
Of course, the Titans’ ability to make these moves will depend upon how much the team can clear in cap space. Tennessee is currently set to be $2 million over if the 2021 figures lands at $180.5 million, per Over the Cap.
Another avenue the Titans could take is to structure the contracts so the bigger cap hits lie in the years ahead when it’s figured the salary cap will increase.
Whatever the case may be, if the Titans can secure Davis, Brown and Judon, they’ll be on the right track, but not finished.
We wouldn’t mind seeing a reunion with Clowney, but certainly not at that price after his lackluster 2020 campaign. Anything more than half Spotrac’s estimation would be too much.
As for Smith: the Titans simply don’t utilize him enough to pay him long term, so we don’t expect to see him return to Nashville in 2021.
