NFL Free Agency Rumors: Tennessee Titans pursuing ‘high-end’ free agents
The Tennessee Titans are planning on being active participants in NFL free agency this year and are targeting some notable “high-end” targets.
According to Jason Cole of Bleacher Report, the Tennessee Titans are planning an aggressive spending spree when free agency begins and are targeting the best players on the open market in hopes of improving their disappointing on-field product.

Armed with $46 million in salary cap space, the Titans have the necessary cap room to make lucrative offers to the top free agents on the market like Ndamukong Suh, Greg Hardy and possibly Darrelle Revis should he and the Patriots part ways come next week.
All three of those players were mentioned by Cole as targets who would raise the profile of the struggling franchise who owns the No. 2 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, but money won’t be the only factor to sway the aforementioned trio.
Suh, Hardy and potentially Revis are going to be in high demand and from teams with a chance to win in 2015 and for the next few years, something the Titans can’t offer, at least not in 2015 with so many holes on the roster.
Naturally, some of those holes could be filled with the signing of one of those marquee players, but if I am a Titans fan I am not holding my breath in anticipation of an introductory press conference for any of them.
Tennessee is not a destination city for elite free agents after years of losing. It can change with some winning seasons and playoff appearances, but with so many other teams armed with cap space after it was increased this year, the Titans need to offer something besides piles of cash.
