3. Tennessee Titans

Quarterback Marcus Mariota has shown nice progress in his second season (25 touchdowns, eight interceptions), but Tennessee’s leading receiver is still tight end Delanie Walker (51 receptions) and only one wide receiver (Rishard Matthews-49) has more than 40 catches through 13 games this season. Add in running back DeMarco Murray and his 45 receptions, good for third on the team right now, and wide receiver sticks out as a need for the Titans.

Kendall Wright has a had a very disappointing season with his own free agency looming, with just 25 receptions for 376 yards in nine games played. He was also a healthy scratch in Week 14, reportedly due to tardiness and missed meetings, so a front office that didn’t draft Wright is sure to be done with him after the season.

Floyd will obviously come with some recent off the field baggage, and the possibility of future discipline from the league. But as a team on the rise with a clear need at wide receiver, the Titans would do well to vet Floyd as a possible waiver claim now or a possible free agent signing next spring.
