[UPDATE 4:53 PM] – The Titans are bringing in another former New York Giant, this time it is C Austin Schlottman on a 1-year deal, per Tom Pelissero.
[UPDATE 2:27 PM] – The Titans have also signed former New Orleans Saints CB Alontae Taylor to a 3-year, $60 million contract with $42 million guaranteed.
[UPDATE 2:23 PM] – The Titans have signed former Giants CB Cor’Dale Flott to a 3-year, $45 million deal with $32 million fully guaranteed per Mike Garafolo:
[UPDATE 2:21 PM] – Arden Key has signed with the Colts, per Ian Rapoport. He can disappear for them for 75% of the year now:
[UPDATE 2:19 PM] – The Titans were heavily linked to John Franklin-Myers before free agency started. They made it happen! That’s a huge boost to the pass rush.
[UPDATE 1:31 PM] – Mike Evans signs with the San Francisco 49ers. The Titans had been vaguely linked to him heading up to today.
[UPDATE 1:08 PM] – The Titans and Wan’Dale Robinson pairing comes to fruition with the receiver signing a 4-year deal.
[UPDATE 1:00 PM] – Former Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum got a massive deal from the Las Vegas Raiders. The Titans want a veteran center, but the market is quickly drying up.

[UPDATE 12:21 PM] – The Titans have signed Mitchell Trubisky to back up Cam Ward.
[UPDATE 11:24 AM] – Reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs. I guess that kills the dream of the Chiefs trading up with the Titans in the draft for Jeremiyah Love:
[UPDATE 11:10 AM] – Former Titan Dre’Mont Jones is signing a 3-year $39 million deal with the New England Patriots:
[UPDATE 11:06 AM] – Alec Pierce will not be hitting the open market. He got PAID by the Indianapolis Colts:
The negotiating ”legal tampering” for NFL free agency opens today. As a reminder, teams can negotiate contracts for free agents starting today. Nothing can be officially signed until the new league year opens on Wednesday. There have been times since this process started when a deal has been agreed on and reported that a player has later changed his mind. It doesn’t happen often, but nothing is official until it is signed.
The Tennessee Titans are expected to be very active in free agency. They currently have just over $92 million in cap space. That number will increase when they release L’Jarius Sneed, and something will probably happen with Calvin Ridley’s contract as well. They have plenty of money and plenty of needs to spend that money on.
The Titans’ biggest needs are at EDGE, cornerback, and wide receiver. They won’t be able to fix all of their needs in free agency, but they should be able to get a good start. They will have to fill out the rest in the draft.
We will be updating this post throughout the next few days with all of the news and rumors that we see about the Titans. If you come across anything that you don’t see posted here, be sure to leave it in the comments and/or tag me on Twitter @jmorrisMCM.
