Before the onset of free agency, Titans General Manager Ran Carthon, along with members of the team’s personnel and coaching staff, convened to strategize the team’s approach. With ample cap space and numerous needs, the franchise had its sights set on several potential acquisitions.
Carthon promptly briefed controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk on the initial targets and various potential scenarios. Reflecting on the proceedings at the NFL owner’s meetings in Orlando, Carthon expressed satisfaction with the progress thus far. The Titans have secured the services of eight new free agents, re-signed five of their own players, and are reportedly on the brink of acquiring another impact player through a trade.
“I feel like it’s gone well,” Carthon remarked. “We came in with a structured plan, and I think we hit on those targets pretty well.”
Despite the progress made, Carthon acknowledged that there’s still work to be done, especially with the upcoming NFL Draft. However, he remains optimistic about the team’s position and its ability to continue making moves to enhance the roster.
Among the notable additions are Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Lloyd Cushenberry, Chidobe Awuzie, Kenneth Murray Jr., Saahdiq Charles, Mason Rudolph, and Sebastian Joseph-Day. Each player brings unique attributes that contribute to reshaping the team’s identity on both offense and defense.
Carthon also addressed the departures of key players like Derrick Henry, Denico Autry, and Azeez Al-Shaair, emphasizing the respect and appreciation the organization holds for their contributions.
As discussions continue with remaining free agents and focus shifts towards the NFL Draft, Carthon remains vigilant in his pursuit of improving the team. The whirlwind of activity has garnered positive feedback, with Carthon receiving compliments from peers and players alike.
“I feel good about what we’ve done so far,” Carthon concluded, “and excited about getting those dudes in the building.”
