At this time next week, we’ll be talking about how players are performing on the field, as the Tennessee Titans will have begun their 2023 training camp.
While it’ll be exciting to see every player out there on the practice field after getting through the dead time of the offseason, the ones we’re most interested in are the new guys, a group that includes free-agent acquisitions like outside linebacker Arden Key, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and offensive tackle Andre Dillard, to name a few.
But the new player who figures to have the brightest spotlight on him when things kick off on July 26 is wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who is not only one of the newest Titans, but also the biggest acquisition of the offseason.
And the Titans might not be done there — Tennessee is bringing in free-agent offensive tackle George Fant for a workout, and there’s a “good chance” they sign him to replace Nicholas Petit-Frere at right tackle during his suspension.
But we’ve only listed some of the new guys on Tennessee’s offseason roster. Here’s a look at every player who wasn’t on the Titans’ roster (offseason or 53-man) or practice squad at all last season.
