Tennessee Titans bottom out in Yahoo Sports offseason power rankings

The Tennessee Titans have completed all of their offseason work and are now setting their sights on training camp and the start of the regular season. 

While the team has undergone significant changes since the end of the 2024 season, it's impossible to see how much of an improvement was made until the pads go on in camp and the team can truly form an identity. OTAs and minicamp did raise some expectations, but still, Tennessee is a work in progress. 

Likely armed with a rookie quarterback, the Titans still have some roster questions that they must address. Questions at cornerback, linebacker, edge, and wide receiver all must be sorted out before they open the season in Denver. Plus, the quality of depth throughout the roster could still be an issue and players could still be added to the roster. 

All of these factors have the Titans still at the bottom of the barrel in the eyes of Frank Schwab of Yahoo Sports. Who tabbed Tennessee as the worst team in the league heading into training camp in his team rankings. 

Best-case scenario

It wasn't like everyone was high on the 2023 Texans or 2024 Commanders. One home run pick at quarterback can change everything. It's very hard to believe the Titans will ascend to a playoff spot like those two aforementioned teams, but that shouldn't be the realistic goal anyway. If an improved offensive line helps Cam Ward, Ward hits his rookie ceiling and a defense that wasn't too bad last season takes even a modest step forward (getting 2024 bust L'Jarius Sneed healthy would help), the Titans could flirt with a .500 record. That would be a great season for the Titans.

While he did break down the offseason, giving the Titans a B- for their work, his outlook on quarterback Cam Ward is positive, but he is down on head coach Brian Callahan, and questions whether he is up for the task. After such a disappointing first season, that is fair, but not all of 2024 can be placed at Callahan’s feet, which is why he stayed and general manager Ran Carthon was jettisoned in favor of Mike Borgonzi. 

Callahan will definitely be on the hot seat in 2025. The Titans have improved quite a bit during the offseason and should be a better team this season. If they aren’t, then it is quite possible they will have a new coach when they open their new stadium in 2026.
