Titans

  • According to TitansInsider.com’s Terry McCormick, the Titans have an offer out to LB Kamalei Correa, who is an unrestricted free agent. 
  • Per Erik Bacharach of the Tennesseean, Titans QB Ryan Tannehill said he tried to ignore the rumors of Tennessee’s interest in Tom Brady: “I try not to keep up, but obviously I heard it. I try to take a step back, trust God and trust that everything is going to work out the way it should be. That was kind of the mindset heading into this.”
  • Tannehill confirmed his preference was to re-sign with the Titans rather than test free agency: “Didn’t really feel like I needed to test the market. At this point in my career, I want to win, and I believe in this team.” (Bacharach)
  • Titans OT Dennis Kelly confirmed the team expects him to step into the starting right tackle spot for Jack Conklin: “Hopefully it works out where I can be the starter for a while.” (Bacharach)
