The day is finally here, and the NFL’s legal tampering period ahead of free agency opens at noon.
The Tennessee Titans will enter free agency with more questions than answers at the moment and have holes across the roster that must be filled. Currently, the team has 52 of the 90 spots on the offseason roster filled, and could use help at every level.
Here is a breakdown of the current players on the Titans roster heading into free agency.
Ward is the unquestioned starter heading into his second season, but behind him, it gets a bit cloudy. Levis is slated to return to the team in a backup capacity after missing all of 2025 due to shoulder surgery.
There has been a lot of smoke centered on the running back position all offseason, with the Titans mentioned in connection with backs in both free agency and the draft. Pollard is scheduled to return as the feature back, but it appears that the team could go in a different direction.
The biggest question entering free agency is the status of Calvin Ridley and whether he will be on the team in 2026. Tennessee is widely expected to make a run at a top wideout in free agency and could add to this unit pretty quickly.
Tennessee has a decision to make on Chig Okonkwo, who is an unrestricted free agent. Helm flashed in 2025 and could take on a larger role in 2026, but the Titans could add some experienced depth to the roster.
The Titans tackle situation is better than the rest of the offensive line, with starters Moore and Latham returning. They are likely to add a veteran swing tackle during free agency, but it won’t break the bank.
Tennessee will likely have to address the interior of its offensive line, with Skoronski the only returning starter. 2025 starter Kevin Zeitler is an unrestricted free agent and may not return, leaving Slater as the next in line. l
They must also find a veteran center in free agency after the team parted ways with Lloyd Cushenberry. What complicates matters is that their top reserve, Corey Levin, is also an unrestricted free agent, leaving Hill as the only real option. Hill does have some NFL experience, but not enough to anchor the line for Cam Ward moving forward.
Look for both some additions and some subtractions in this unit throughout the offseason, with the Titans changing defensive systems, and some may not fit as well as they did in 2025. Johnson was recently acquired in a trade and will likely solidify one of the edge positions, but after that, there is no clarity.
As the Titans enter free agency, Simmons is the only true known commodity along the defensive front after trading T’Vondre Sweat to acquire Jermaine Johnson. Just like the edge position, expect to see a lot of movement along the defensive front as the team evaluates the position fit for some of the depth players.
The Titans will likely add multiple linebackers in free agency or the draft, as the coaching staff sorts out the unit's positioning.
Beyond depth, the biggest question that must be answered during the free-agent period is Sneed's status. A complete bust since arriving in Nashville, Sneed could be a salary cap casualty, which would leave the Titans extremely thin. Tennessee must add some talent to a unit that struggled to stay healthy in 2025 and was, at best, underwhelming.
Much like a good portion of the roster, the Titans' safety position lacks depth and could use an infusion of talent. Hooker and Winston should start, but after Xavier Woods's release, the unit lacks experience.

The Tennessee Titans will enter free agency with more questions than answers at the moment and have holes across the roster that must be filled. Currently, the team has 52 of the 90 spots on the offseason roster filled, and could use help at every level.
Here is a breakdown of the current players on the Titans roster heading into free agency.
Quarterbacks (2): Cam Ward, Will Levis
Ward is the unquestioned starter heading into his second season, but behind him, it gets a bit cloudy. Levis is slated to return to the team in a backup capacity after missing all of 2025 due to shoulder surgery.
Running back (4): Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Kalel Mullings, Blake Watson
There has been a lot of smoke centered on the running back position all offseason, with the Titans mentioned in connection with backs in both free agency and the draft. Pollard is scheduled to return as the feature back, but it appears that the team could go in a different direction.
Wide receiver (6): Calvin Ridley, Elic Ayomanor, Hal Pressley, Chimere Dike, Mason Kinsey, Xavier Restrepo
The biggest question entering free agency is the status of Calvin Ridley and whether he will be on the team in 2026. Tennessee is widely expected to make a run at a top wideout in free agency and could add to this unit pretty quickly.
Tight end (3): Gunnar Helm, David Martin-Robinson, Joel Wilson
Tennessee has a decision to make on Chig Okonkwo, who is an unrestricted free agent. Helm flashed in 2025 and could take on a larger role in 2026, but the Titans could add some experienced depth to the roster.
Offensive (10): Dan Moore Jr., Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, JC Latham, Ryan Hayes, Peter Skoronski, Drew Moss, Jackson Slater, Ryan Hayes, Garrett Dellinger, Trey Hill
The Titans tackle situation is better than the rest of the offensive line, with starters Moore and Latham returning. They are likely to add a veteran swing tackle during free agency, but it won’t break the bank.
Tennessee will likely have to address the interior of its offensive line, with Skoronski the only returning starter. 2025 starter Kevin Zeitler is an unrestricted free agent and may not return, leaving Slater as the next in line. l

What complicates matters is that their top reserve, Corey Levin, is also an unrestricted free agent, leaving Hill as the only real option. Hill does have some NFL experience, but not enough to anchor the line for Cam Ward moving forward.
Edge (8): Jermaine Johnson, Femi Oladejo, Truman Jones, David Ebuka Agoha, Jaylen Harrell, Ernest Brown, Ali Gaye, Cam Riley
Look for both some additions and some subtractions in this unit throughout the offseason, with the Titans changing defensive systems, and some may not fit as well as they did in 2025. Johnson was recently acquired in a trade and will likely solidify one of the edge positions, but after that, there is no clarity.
Defensive tackle (5): Jeffery Simmons, Timmy Horne, Cam Horsley, Isaiah Raikes, C.J. Ravenell
As the Titans enter free agency, Simmons is the only true known commodity along the defensive front after trading T’Vondre Sweat to acquire Jermaine Johnson. Just like the edge position, expect to see a lot of movement along the defensive front as the team evaluates the position fit for some of the depth players.
Linebacker (5): James Williams, Cedric Gray, Dorian Mausi, Cody Barton, Nate Lynn
The Titans will likely add multiple linebackers in free agency or the draft, as the coaching staff sorts out the unit's positioning.
Cornerback (4): L’Jarius Sneed, Micah Robinson, Marcus Harris, Keydrain Calligan
Beyond depth, the biggest question that must be answered during the free-agent period is Sneed's status. A complete bust since arriving in Nashville, Sneed could be a salary cap casualty, which would leave the Titans extremely thin. Tennessee must add some talent to a unit that struggled to stay healthy in 2025 and was, at best, underwhelming.
Safety: Kevin Winston Jr, Sanoussi Kane, Amani Hooker, Kendall Brooks, Erick Hallett
Much like a good portion of the roster, the Titans' safety position lacks depth and could use an infusion of talent. Hooker and Winston should start, but after Xavier Woods's release, the unit lacks experience.
