The Tennessee Titans finished the 2023 season with just six wins. The team finished the 2022 season with a record of 7 wins and 10 losses.
Mike Vrabel spent the past six seasons as head coach, but back-to-back losing seasons ended his time with the franchise.Hired by Titans Brian Callahan has been named the franchise’s next head coach.
This coaching change is just one of a series of important moves Tennessee made this offseason as it looks to get back on a winning track. Last month, Calvin Ridley decided to sign with the Titans. The one-time All-Pro will join a wide receiver room that already features DeAndre Hopkins.

The Titans also added center Lloyd Cushenberry to the roster, and running back Tony Pollard will fill at least some of the hole in the backfield created by the departure of Derrick Henry.
But former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Rajarius Sneed marked the Titans’ flashiest defensive acquisition. Snead and free agent signing Chidobe Awuzie would form a formidable cornerback duo.

Snead has shown durability over the past three seasons, appearing in 48 of 51 games. Snead missed the final game of the 2023 regular season after the Chiefs’ coaching staff decided to give Snead and other star players some breathing room before the start of the playoffs.

Despite this, Snead’s health has been a hot topic. The Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Snead, who was subsequently traded to the Titans. But even before the trade, rumors began to circulate that Snead would deal with knee issues throughout the 2023 season. Some suggested that his knee issues were negatively impacting his trade value.
The Titans held Snead’s induction press conference on Tuesday, and the star defensive back addressed concerns about his knee.
“I don’t have any problems with my knee. It’s fine. I played all season. I played the same way a few years before that. I had some problems. I banged my knee before. But I’m fine.” I’m fine now. I don’t have any particular problems with my knees. ”

The Titans showed their faith in Snead by offering him a lucrative four-year contract. Kansas City likely wanted to keep Snead on the roster, but the reigning Super Bowl champions face significant salary cap constraints.
Snead finished last season with two interceptions and 78 tackles.
