The 2024 NFL season is officially in the books after the Philadelphia Eagles steamrolled the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, in Super Bowl LIX.
Now the Tennessee Titans and their fans can turn the page on the misery and hopefully look forward with excitement toward a brighter future. Armed with a new front office, the No. 1 pick in the draft and roughly $55 million in available cap space, new general manager Mike Borgonzi will set out to fix their broken roster.
ESPN published their power rankings after the Super Bowl and the Titans found themselves dead last.
Analyst Turron Davenport added these comments about their upcoming offseason, while shining a light on one of their biggest needs.
32. Tennessee Titans – 2024 record: 3-14
Describe this offseason in three words: Find a QB
The Titans took a swing on Will Levis as their franchise quarterback. It didn’t work. Now they must turn to a free agent or use the No. 1 pick in the draft on one of the top QBs. They could pursue a hybrid approach by signing a bridge quarterback and drafting someone who could learn behind the veteran. But that situation requires a special player who will allow their eventual replacement to take over. New general manager Mike Borgonzi saw it play out successfully through the Chiefs’ Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes. Pulling off another successful quarterback selection process could restore the Titans to respectability.
Davenport is not wrong, the Titans do need to find their franchise quarterback. Unfortunately, it isn’t quite that simple because of the other holes on the roster. No matter who is under center next season, if the team doesn’t address their offensive line or stable of weapons on the outside, they will not be successful.
After spending a ton of money in 2024 and watching it all fall apart, the Titans need to rebuild to start moving in the right direction. At least, as they officially start the offseason, there is nowhere to go but up.
