The Tennessee Titans have many issues that they must address this offseason to help propel them from the bottom of the NFL.
With free agency and the draft ahead of them in the coming months, the new front office must chart a direction and decide how they are going to improve this roster. There is no doubt that the team needs an infusion of talent across the board.
The offensive line, especially at the right tackle position, struggled and often did more harm than good, the special teams were historically bad, injuries eroded what little depth they had and the quarterback position was a comedy of errors. The team needs direction, and armed with a new general manager, they may have it.
Which brings this comment by ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky to light. In a recent appearance, Orlovsky outlined a potential Titans trade for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence that could benefit both franchises.
Dan Orlovsky just said on ESPN’s First Take that the Titans should call the Jaguars for Trevor Lawrence.
You can’t make this stuff up.

At first glance, this seems like a crazy take. These are divisional rivals and there is no way that a trade like this would ever happen. But he is correct in his thinking that Lawrence would likely want out of the mess that is currently the Jaguars franchise. The Jags are in disarray and appear to be spiraling out of control more every day. They are still searching for a new head coach, recently fired their general manager, and appear rudderless.
Then there is history. New general manager Mike Borgonzi was in this same spot with the Kansas City Chiefs, needing a new quarterback and holding the No. 1 overall selection. What did they do? They traded a second-round pick for former No. 1 overall selection Alex Smith and drafted offensive tackle Eric Fisher. That draft for the Chiefs started the foundation for what has become their NFL dynasty.
While the idea of this trade may seem outlandish and a bad take, it does have some merit and some history to back it up. A deal like this would likely take more than the second-round selection then the Chiefs gave for Smith, the question would be, how much more.
