Tennessee Titans great and former linebacker Keith Bulluck has an idea for how the team can address its issue at quarterback this offseason, and it involves doing two things.
Bulluck took to Twitter to give his take on what the Titans should do, and it involves somehow pulling off a trade for Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson, who may want out of Seattle.
But he wasn’t done there. Bulluck also suggested that the Titans should take a quarterback in the mid to late rounds of the 2022 NFL draft. Tennessee has a total of six picks this year, with one in the first, third, fifth and sixth rounds, and then two in the fourth (projected comp pick).
Titans need to get Russell Wilson & draft some mid & late round talent at QB…yeah I said it 🤷🏾♂️ #NoBull

From Bulluck’s lips to the football gods’ ears.
Would we take Russell Wilson? Of course, you’d have to be crazy not to want one of the best signal-callers in the NFL. Sadly, the chances are slim that the Titans can pull it off.
For starters, the Titans weren’t one of the four teams Wilson’s agent listed as places he’d be willing to be traded to last March. Is it possible things have changed since then? Maybe, but we can’t say for sure.
The Titans would also have to find a way to unload Ryan Tannehill. Cutting him isn’t an option, as Tannehill’s contract carries dead-cap hits of $57.4 and $18.8 million the next two years.
As far as a trade is concerned, Tannehill’s contract has cap hits of $38.6 and $36.6 million the next two seasons, making him an undesirable trade target for any team looking for a quarterback. The Titans would have to pick up plenty of money to entice a team to make a deal.
The only way we could see Wilson coming to Nashville is if Tannehill is involved in the trade with the Seahawks, along with a ton of draft capital going from Tennessee to Seattle. The two quarterbacks make roughly the same the next two seasons, so it could work.
As great as that all sounds, the much more likely scenario is the Titans drafting a quarterback who can sit behind Tannehill for a year or two and eventually take the reins from him.
