The Tennessee Titans enter the 2022 offseason in a bind financially, as the team is sitting around $7 million over the salary cap, which means general manager Jon Robinson will have to free up cap space. - On Sunday, we shared a great article from Over the Cap’s Nick Korte, which broke down the Titans’ contract restructure potential and showed that Tennessee is capable of freeing up plenty of money. - However, before making cuts and/or restructuring contracts, Tennessee isn’t in a great spot, but there’s more to it than just the team’s lack of cap space. - Over the Cap looked at three different categories for offseason resources — effective cap space, draft capital, and potential snaps lost to free agency — and Tennessee’s average rank in those categories was 21.7. - In all, the Titans landed at No. 25 in the rankings. - “The good thing for the Titans is they rank 15th in potential snaps lost so they have a decent enough chance to come back with a quality roster. The problem is the quality roster seems to have hit a ceiling and may not break through it without some changes. They rank just 24th and 26th in cap room and draft capital. They remind me a bit of the Vikings a few years ago and probably need to consider remaking the team rather than doubling down again on the roster.” - The good news for the Titans is that they have several starters on both sides of the ball returning in 2022 — especially on defense — so they won’t have to break the bank in free agency. - When it comes to draft capital, the Titans could have upwards of seven picks with two projected compensatory selections, but they are missing a second-round pick thanks to the trade for Julio Jones. - - RelatedB/R names Browns' Jarvis Landry as ideal trade target for TitansTitans' Ryan Tannehill lands in top half of starting QB rankingsTitans select Treylon Burks in Touchdown Wire mock draft - - List - - 9 AFC South stories from last week for Titans fans to know - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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.
