The Tennessee Titans made real effort to patch up their secondary this offseason, but one NFL outlet still isn’t buying the idea that the group has taken a major leap.
Sharp Sports recently slotted Tennessee’s defensive backfield among the league’s worst, even after the team added Cor’Dale Flott, Alontae Taylor, and Joshua Williams to a cornerback room that needed help. The moves were enough to draw praise for the Titans’ attempt to address a problem area, but not enough to convince the analysts that the overhaul has changed the picture in a meaningful way.
That skepticism centered on the quality of the additions. Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott, in particular, were viewed as less impactful than what Tennessee may have been aiming for when the offseason began. Sharp Sports also pointed to the Titans not using a draft pick on a secondary that had been struggling, calling that a strange decision.
Even so, the ranking came in lower than many Titans fans likely expected. The signings may not have been blockbuster moves, but they were still a clear step up from what Tennessee was putting on the field in 2025.
There’s also the argument that the secondary may look better once the rest of the defense is factored in. The Titans brought in Robert Saleh to shape the scheme, and the front seven got a boost from Jermaine Johnson and John Franklin-Myers joining Jeffery Simmons. That should ease some of the burden on the back end, even if the rankings haven’t caught up to that possibility yet.

Cam Ward May Already Have The Titans Connection Fans Needed
Cam Wards offseason work with Tennessees receivers has centered on familiarity, timing and getting comfortable in Brian Dabolls offense, and WanDale Robinson has quickly become one of the clearest signs of that progress. Robinsons background in the system helped make him a natural fit for the Titans plans, and the team has backed that up by investing in him and Carnell Tate as its top wideouts while bringing back more depth at the position.
The most encouraging part for Tennessee is how the connection looked as minicamp wound down. Robinson turned in a practice-high eight catches at the final session, and every one of them came from Ward, a strong indication that the quarterback and receiver were finding a better rhythm after an uneven start to their work together. For a Titans offense trying to build a reliable foundation around a young quarterback, that kind of growing trust is exactly the sort of offseason detail worth watching. [Read more 🡒]
