The Titans are at a point in the build where the answer at quarterback is supposed to be taking shape, but Cam Ward’s first season made one thing impossible to ignore: the pocket was too often collapsing around him. Ward was sacked 55 times as a rookie, and that kind of pressure leaves no doubt about where Tennessee still needs help.
That’s why Moe Moton of Bleacher Report is pushing the Titans toward a veteran fix on the offensive line, with former Detroit Lions tackle Taylor Decker at the center of the idea. Decker was released by Detroit earlier this offseason, and Moton sees him as the kind of addition that could immediately change the look of Ward’s protection.
Moton also pointed to Dan Moore Jr.’s struggles as the reason Tennessee needs to act. “ If the Tennessee Titans are serious about quarterback Cam Ward's pass protection, they must upgrade at left tackle.
Dan Moore Jr. has struggled in pass-blocking sets for most of his career. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed eight sacks while on the field for 621 pass-blocking snaps in 2025.” said Moton.
He didn’t stop there. “ Although it would be bold to bench a player with a $19.5 million base salary, the front office appears to have overpaid for Moore.
The new coaching staff has to right that wrong to keep Ward upright in the pocket.” Moton added.
Moton’s broader point is simple: Tennessee does not have to spend big on Ward yet, so this is the time to surround him with established help. He also suggested the Titans should be looking to start Andre James and find a role in the offense for rookie running back Nicholas Singleton.
Decker would fit that approach. He’s been a dependable left tackle, and bringing him to Nashville would give the Titans a much stronger chance of keeping Ward clean while the new coaching staff evaluates what it really has at quarterback. With training camp approaching, Tennessee has to be certain the roster is ready, and Ward’s protection remains one of the biggest questions on the board.

Titans Camp Battle Could Quietly Decide Robert Salehs Defense
Training camp is about to sort out more than just the Titans depth chart. Under Robert Saleh, the competition at right guard has become one of the quieter but more consequential battles on the roster, with Jackson Slater and Cordell Volson both in the mix as the team tries to stabilize the interior and keep the offense on schedule. It is the kind of job fight that can shape how a line functions long before the regular season starts.
The same is true on the edge, where the spot opposite Jermaine Johnson II is expected to draw real attention once camp gets rolling. Femi Oladejo and Jacob Martin headline that group, with rookie Keldric Faulk also expected to factor in, and the way Saleh parcels out those snaps should tell a lot about how he sees the front seven taking shape. For a defense built on pressure and rotation, those decisions may end up carrying more weight than they first appear. [Read more 🡒]
Former Titans Star Left Stunned By Travis Kelce Friendship Snub
The celebrity-heavy wedding scene around Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift had plenty of NFL representation, with names like George Kittle and Matthew Stafford showing up with family in tow. For former Titans lineman Taylor Lewan and ex-Titans linebacker Will Compton, though, the guest list brought a different kind of attention, since both had long considered themselves part of Kelces circle and expected to be in the mix for a day that blended football fame with pop-star spectacle.
Lewan sounded genuinely taken aback when the invitations didnt come his way, openly questioning what he might be doing wrong after seeing who was there. Compton had a similar reaction, saying he was flabbergasted while reacting to the photos and even noting Dean Blandinos presence, a reminder that the guest list was full of surprises even before the Titans duo realized they were on the outside looking in.

Titans May Finally Have The Camp Battle Their Secondary Needed
The Titans added another piece to their secondary on March 12, signing Joshua Williams to a two-year contract after four seasons with the Chiefs. For a cornerback room that has spent too much time shuffling bodies because of injuries, Williams arrives as the kind of steady, experienced depth every defense wants but not every defense can find.
What makes him especially relevant in Tennessee is the role he can fill behind Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott at boundary corner. Williams brings size, special teams value and the sort of flexibility that can help a coaching staff keep its options open if the camp competition gets tight, and the Titans will be watching closely to see whether he can turn that backup job into something more meaningful.
