Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said he expects quarterback Ryan Tannehill to be the starter in 2023. Vrabel also said that Tannehill is improving after suffering a season-ending ankle injury last December. The Titans also have last year's third-round pick, quarterback Malik Willis, on the roster, but it was clear at the end of 2022 that the Titans view him as a work in progress under center. The 34-year-old Tannehill completed 65.2 percent of his passes in 12 starts last year, throwing for 2,536 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. Tennessee's offense will likely remain run-heavy in 2023, although they should be looking to add receiving help in next month's draft. If Tannehill is starting in Week 1, he'll be a low-ceiling QB2 in fantasy.
The Tennessee Titans are finalizing a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with free-agent cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting on Monday, according to sources. Murphy-Bunting is only 25 years old and has already won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his fourth year in the NFL in 2022, he had 31 tackles (19 solo), two interceptions, seven passes defensed and a forced fumble in 12 games (five starts). Murphy-Bunting should serve in a starting role with his new team in 2023. In his four NFL seasons combined, he has produced 188 tackles (139 solo), one sack, six tackles for loss, six interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 21 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 53 games (36 starts).
Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard has reportedly refused to take a pay cut. The 29-year-old, who has played his entire career in Tennessee, has amassed 626 total tackles, 27 interceptions, and four sacks (114 games). He's also a two-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro. Byard is due to make $13.6 million this season. However, with the latest update, his future with the Titans could be in jeopardy. If that's the case, plenty of teams around the NFL would love to add him to the roster.
The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with former Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Andre Dillard on a three-year deal worth $29 million on Monday, according to a source. The former first-round pick by Philly in 2019 will now get a chance to play in Tennessee after spending the first three seasons of his career with the Eagles. Dillard has played 43 games in his first three years, but he's only started nine contests and fell behind Jordan Mailata for playing time at left tackle last year. The Titans have been looking for an upgrade over last year's left tackle in Dennis Daley, so Dillard should have every chance this summer to win the starting job.
The Tennessee Titans released center Ben Jones on Friday with a failed-physical designation. Jones joined the team in 2016 and made his first Pro Bowl in 2022, but he'll be looking for work on the free-agent market this offseason. He was originally a fourth-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2012, and he spent the first four seasons of his NFL career in Houston before heading to Tennessee. The 33-year-old has been extremely durable in his career, missing only six games in 11 seasons. From 2016 to 2021 with the Titans, he was one of just eight offensive linemen to start at least 96 of a possible 97 games. Jones missed five games last year due to two concussions and was placed on Injured Reserve on Dec. 22.
