Titans Target Jauan Jennings for Offensive Balance

0:00On March 23rd, the Tennessee Titans are shaking up their roster under new general manager Mike Borgonzi, who took over to rebuild the teen's identity. Last year, they traded away Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and drafted quarterback Cam Ward. This offseason, they hired Robert Salah as head coach and added speed to the offense with wide receiver Wandel Robinson while keeping Calvin Ridley. On defense, the Titans already look quick and tough, though they need a couple more players to compete at the top. Offensively, though, it's mostly speed without much size, leaving them light in the trenches for blocking and contested catches. Fans and analysts see free agent wide receiver Dwan Jennings as the perfect fix. He's known for his gritty blocking and big-play grabs in traffic, and Salah coached him last year with the San Francisco 49ers. Jennings would balance the receiver group, which now leans heavy on slot and outside speedsters like Ridley, Robinson, and Rookie's Cameriedike, and Xavier Restrepo. Their only big-bodied option is Elik Ayomanoir, so Jennings adds real muscle.

Jennings played College Ball with Titans' cornerback Alantai Taylor at Tennessee and both grew up in the state with Jennings High School, just 30 minutes from the stadium. With $10 million more cap space than any other NFL team, the Titans could sign him easily and boost their attack right away.
