Feb 15, 2022

Pro Football Focus recently released its list of the top 200 players in the NFL who are set to hit free agency, and four Tennessee Titans made the cut. - The four Titans on PFF’s list include outside linebacker Harold Landry (No. 33), center Ben Jones (No. 46), right tackle David Quessenberry (No. 151), and inside linebacker Jayon Brown (No. 163). - Of those four, Brown is the only one we don’t expect back. A former fifth-round pick of the Titans, Brown looked to have a bright future after a few years in the league, but injury and ineffective play helped derail him. - Brown would eventually lose his job to David Long, who began seizing the role from the UCLA product while he was hurt in 2020. Brown went from being a starter to not playing much down the stretch of the regular season. - Landry and Jones are the two biggest free agents the Titans have, but we believe both will be retained, assuming Tennessee can clear the money needed to do so. - Jones was Tennessee’s best offensive lineman in 2021, and Landry helped revive the Titans’ pass-rush with a career-high 12 sacks. For Landry in particular, the Titans have a few options to keep him, whether it be by signing him to a contract extension or using the franchise tag. - As for Quessenberry, he’s a restricted free agent, so there’s a good chance he returns. What he’d be returning to remains to be seen, though. - While Quessenberry was good in run-blocking, his pass protection left a ton to be desired, as the veteran allowed a league-high 11 sacks. - If Quessenberry does return, the Titans must at least make him compete for the starting job. Tennessee might already have an in-house solution for that, with 2021 second-round pick Dillon Radunz waiting in the wings. - - RelatedShould the Titans trade back in the 2022 NFL draft?Way-too-early look at Titans' odds to win Super Bowl LVIITitans’ Derrick Henry has ‘vengeance on my mind’ in 2022 - - List - - Titans 7-round mock draft: Tennessee lands its QB of the future - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Titans Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Titans Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
