After taking a look at the Tennessee Titans’ potential options in free agency at the wide receiver position, it’s now time to explore the team’s options at arguably its biggest need, offensive tackle.
Technically, the Titans only have one need at the tackle spot right now, which comes on the left side after the team cut Taylor Lewan and, well, let’s not talk about Dennis Daley.
On the right side, the Titans have 2022 third-round pick Nicholas Petit-Frere who, by all accounts, appears likely to man the same position he did in his rookie campaign.
However, NPF did struggle in his first season and didn’t exactly instill a ton of confidence, and the Titans have a new general manager in Ran Carthon, so all bets are off.
The player who would have been the prize of this free-agent cycle at left tackle, Orlando Brown, is included in this list, but it’s important to note he’s likely headed for a franchise tag if he isn’t re-signed before the deadline.
Most of the players listed are starting-caliber linemen, but we’ve also included some backups since Tennessee will likely be in the market for both.
