Nashville — NFL free agency starts next week, and general manager Ran Carthon must select who will be part of the Tennessee Titans’ rebuilding effort under coach Brian Callahan.
Negotiations with free agents can start on March 11. NFL teams can sign free agents on March 13, which marks the official start of the league calendar year.
Don’t be surprised if you hear about deals the moment the window opens.
All Titans.com has presented arguments for and against re-signing some of the 24 Titans with expiring contracts. Sofar:
1. Played in 11 games in 2022 and posted a career-high 48 tackles to go along with an interception, three stops for loss, five passes defended, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.
2. In 2021, recorded career-highs in games played (13), games started (13), interceptions (2), and led the team in passes defended (14), which also tied for 11th place in the NFL.
3. Fulton has 154 career tackles and four interceptions.
NO. DON’T DO IT
A season-ending hamstring injury caused Fulton to miss the final four games and also revealed some discord that might have forecast changes to come.
When reporters asked Fulton about getting placed on the list after the Dec. 11 win against the Miami Dolphins, he appeared to be caught off guard.
“I just found out for myself,” Fulton remarked. “I was going to try to get back on the team. I knew we had five games remaining, so I’m going to do everything I can to help. You can ask (Titans coach Mike) Vrabel about how that went down. I do not know. I recently found out.
“Fulton has missed 26 of 67 games since joining the Titans, and 2023 was his worst season. Last season, his Pro Football Focus rating was 46.4, which ranked him 118th in the NFL.
Fulton ranks 17th among the 22 available free-agent cornerbacks.
YES. GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE
With a new coaching staff, including defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, the change of scenery that Fulton needs may be with his original team. Wilson has built a reputation for developing defensive backs.
When healthy, Fulton can cover quick receivers, which the Titans don’t have much of as the roster currently stands. It may be worthwhile to investigate if a fresh coaching staff may spark positive transformation.
