The Titans have already spent the offseason trying to steady a secondary that drew plenty of criticism through the summer, but one of the best available answers is still sitting in free agency.
That answer is Kenny Moore II.
Tennessee made a clear push to reinforce the defensive side of the roster at the start of this week, with four of its five waiver claims coming on defense. Two of those moves were aimed at the secondary, landing CB Melvin Smith Jr. and S Terrell Burgess. Even with those additions, Moore remains the name that stands out.
Moore is still unsigned after nine seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, where he spent his entire career before the team moved on from him in April. Adam Schefter reported in April that Moore was seeking a mutual departure, and less than a month later Indianapolis released him outright. Ari Meirov noted at the time that Moore had been “long considered one of the best slot corners in football.”
That kind of resume makes him hard to ignore this late in the process.
Tennessee has already invested heavily in the secondary this offseason, paying CBs Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott a combined $103 million to bring them to Nashville. But the group’s issues showed up again in the preseason, with Flott drawing a particularly negative spotlight.
Moore may not be at the top of his game anymore, but he still gave the Colts useful production last season in 14 games, finishing with one interception, 1.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. For a Titans defense that could use more stability at corner, he fits as a player who can raise the floor right away.
And because he has lingered on the market for so long, he probably wouldn’t cost Tennessee a massive deal. If the Titans are truly still searching for help in the secondary, Moore looks like the cleanest fit left.

Will Levis' NFL Return Chance Emerges After Messy Titans Exit
Will Levis is already on the move after his release from Tennessee, landing a workout with the Jets as they sort through their quarterback depth. New York is weighing additions to the practice squad, and head coach Aaron Glenn said the team is looking at options that include veteran quarterbacks, a sign the door is at least cracked open for Levis to find a quick landing spot.
The visit also puts Levis back in a familiar competition, this time alongside Jack Plummer for backup duty behind Cade Klubnik, who was named the Jets backup quarterback. For a player whose Titans exit ended messy, the next chapter could come quickly, but the path back into an NFL building still depends on whether New York decides he fits what it needs right now.

Titans Just Turned A Cam Ward Critic Into A Bigger Debate
The Titans have found themselves in the middle of an unnecessary side story around Cam Ward, and it has quickly become bigger than one preseason comment. Jared Stillman, who publicly said Ward's exhibition performance was "not well" during a press conference exchange, had his media credentials revoked by the team, creating an immediate buzz around how the organization is handling outside criticism of its rookie quarterback.
For Tennessee, the timing matters because every note about Ward now gets filtered through both football and optics. The team has not offered an official explanation for the credential decision, leaving the move to speak for itself and inviting a broader debate about where fair criticism ends and access starts.

Titans Have 4 Young Names Who Could Force Bigger Roles
The Titans have settled on their 53-man roster and practice squad for the 2026 season, and the next question is how quickly some of the younger pieces can push their way into bigger jobs. With Robert Saleh overseeing an overhauled defense and the offense leaning on a mix of rookies and sophomores, there is a clear path for development to turn into opportunity if the right players take advantage of it.
Among the names worth watching are wide receiver Elic Ayomanor, defensive end Jacob Martin, tight end Gunnar Helm and running back Tyjae Spears. Each brings a different kind of upside, and each sits in a spot where a strong start could alter his standing before long, especially on a roster still sorting out how much production it can squeeze from its younger talent.
