Tennessee Titans Earn Huge Praise For This Big Offseason Move

The Tennessee Titans have the look of a franchise that is in a rebuild or retooling. Their front office underwent a major change in 2023, with Ran Carthon coming over from the San Francisco 49ers.

This offseason, it was head coach Mike Vrabel who was fired and replaced by Brian Callahan. Callahan was formerly the offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals.

It is a major change in philosophy from recent seasons. Vrabel was a defensive-minded coach with an emphasis on the running game. Callahan is an offensive-minded coach coming from the Zac Taylor tree.

This offseason, like last offseason, was a mix of transactions moving on from veterans but also adding pieces to remain competitive. Two of the biggest changes were parting with long-time running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

This is now Will Levis’s team with Malik Willis as his backup. Replacing Henry in the backfield will be Tony Pollard, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys.

But, the biggest move that the Tennessee Titans made this offseason was a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. They acquired cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, a move Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report believes they hit out of the park.

Ballentine recently did an article re-grading some of the big moves from the 2024 NFL offseason. The Sneed trade landed on the list and he gave the Tennessee Titans an A grade for the move.

“Meanwhile, the move should be considered a big win for the Titans. Sneed was easily the best cornerback to change teams this offseason, and the Titans had plenty of cap space to sign him to a four-year, $76.4 million extension.

At this stage of the Titans’ rebuild, getting a bona fide difference-maker for a third-round pick is a no-brainer,” Ballentine wrote.

Sneed was a key part of the Chiefs’ defense since being a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He helped the team win Super Bowls the last two seasons.

The Tennessee Titans are hoping that he can bring some of that championship luck along with him. Cornerback was a need for the team, as Sneed will be joining former first-round pick Caleb Farley and second-rounder Roger McCreary.

Last season with Kansas City, Sneed had two interceptions and a career-high 14 passes defended. He added five tackles for loss and three quarterback hits.
