Re: We need a miracle... A Music City Miracle (Titans 15 v2)
A Look At The Tennessee Titans
2015 Off-Season
Defense
Defensive Ends
Under Contract | Al Woods, DaQuan Jones, Jurrell Casey
Expiring Contract | Karl Klug
Comments | Woods had a career year in 2014 and Jurrell Casey was quite the force despite the move to defensive end. DaQuan Jones is a raw player, but there's a lot of talent there. Expect Klug to at least be offered a contract, but he's got the talent to start somewhere and will likely go that route. Tennessee may need to look for a replacement for Woods as he may look for a contract next year higher than the Titans want to pay.
Defensive Tackles
Under Contract | Sammie Hill, Antonio Johnson
Expiring Contract | Jerel Worthy
Comments | Hill started as a nose tackle and didn't play too bad. He had constant pressure on the quarterback, but did show signs of struggling at times. Worthy, more a nose tackle type player, looked good in sparing time and should be retained. This is a position of need for Tennessee however.
Outside Linebackers
Under Contract | None
Expiring Contract | Derrick Morgan, Steve Beauharnais, Dontay Moch, Quentin Groves
Comments | Morgan's not coming back. Period. Dontay Moch will probably be offered a long term deal as he was quite impressive when he started following the Ayers trade. Beauharnais looked good when he started for Morgan, but wasn't the player Tennessee hoped for. Either him or Groves will probably not be back, perhaps both. Another key position for the Titans to look at.
Middle Linebackers
Under Contract | Wesley Woodyard, Zach Brown, Avery Williamson
Expiring Contract | Colin McCarthy
Comments | This is pretty well set in stone. Woodyard and Brown were both great last year. Brown is entering a contract year in 2015, so the Titans may look to lock him up early. McCarthy has become expendable and likely will be let go.
Cornerbacks
Under Contract | Jason McCourty, Blidi Wreh-Wilson, Coty Sensabaugh, Marqueston Huff
Expiring Contract | Brandon Harris
Comments | Defensively, this is the biggest need. Harris was okay opposite McCourty, but will likely be looking for starter money that the Titans won't want to give. Wreh-Wilson and Sensabaugh are both talented, but not ready to be a #2 corner at this point. Tennessee should shell out some money in free agency or spend their top ten pick on a corner.
Safeties
Under Contract | Michael Griffin, Bernard Pollard, Daimion Stafford
Expiring Contract | George Wilson
Comments | Pollard and Stafford were both quite impressive in the strong safety slot in 2014. Griffin, however, seems to have lost a step. At 30, Tennessee has two more years with Griffin's current contract. It's likely they'll be searching for his replacement. Pollard enters his contract year in 2015, perhaps the Titans will look for an understudy for the 30 year old in the draft.
