23 Titans who are slated to be free agents in March

Once the Tennessee Titans get their head coach situation figured out, it’ll be time for the team to turn its focus to free agency, and more specifically its own players set to hit the open market.

The Titans have a total of 23 players set to hit free agency in March, although the team will have control over four of them, as three of the players on the list are exclusive rights free agents and one is restricted.

Here are the definitions for both of those terms, per NFL.com:

Exclusive rights free agent (ERFA): Any player with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If his original team offers him a one-year contract at the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), the player cannot negotiate with other teams.

Restricted free agent (RFA): A player with three accrued seasons and an expired contract. RFAs are free to negotiate and sign with any team, but their original team can offer them one of various qualifying offers (“tenders”) that come with the right of first refusal and/or draft-pick compensation. If the tender is withdrawn by a team, the RFA becomes an unrestricted free agent. In 2023, teams must submit these tenders before 4 p.m. ET on March 15. These amounts change annually; the following numbers are for the 2023 season. Players can choose either (a) or (b) regardless of which is greater in the applicable tenders below.

The other 19 players are unrestricted free agents, which means they are able to sign with any team they choose once free agency officially begins on March 13.

Now, a look at the 23 Titans who are slated to be free agents this offseason. The list is courtesy of Spotrac, as are the estimated market values.
