Welcome to Music City Miracles’ Tennessee Titans 2026 NFL Free Agency Primer! The negotiating window period begins on March 9th, but the Titans are able to re-sign their own free agents before then. General manager Mike Borgonzi is equipped with more than $100 million in cap space and will collaborate with new head coach Robert Saleh on their shared vision for the 2026 Titans.

The Titans are currently scheduled to possess 29 free agents (19 unrestricted), including several key starters and role players. Over the next few weeks, we’ll take an in-depth look at each free agent and provide arguments for why the Titans should, or shouldn’t re-sign that player. We’ll also offer our final verdict and a prediction to go along with our analysis.

Today, we’re analyzing kicker Joey Slye.

Why the Titans should re-sign Slye


Slye displayed a strong leg for the Titans. The former undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech connected on a career-high nine field goals from distance (50-plus yards), often keeping the Titans’ anemic offense in games early. Slye had the offense in scoring position every time they crossed the 50.

Why the Titans should let Slye walk


Overall, Slye connected on just 28-of-35 field goal attempts and his accuracy worsened as the season progressed. His 80% percentage tied for 25th-best in the NFL among kickers who attempted 25-or-more field goals. That’s rather average.

Projected Contract


Spotrac does not have a projected contract for Slye. He signed a one-year, $1,295,000 million contract with the Titans last offseason. An extension would probably be in a similar range.

Final verdict


Titans special teams coordinator John “Bones” Fassel played a sizable role in signing Slye last offseason. Saleh made the wise decision to retain Fassel on his new coaching staff. That probably improves Slye’s chances of returning to the Titans in 2026.

Prediction


The Titans re-sign Slye to another one-year contract.

NFL Free Agency: Should the Titans re-sign OT Oli Udoh?

Welcome to Music City Miracles’ Tennessee Titans 2026 NFL Free Agency Primer! The negotiating window period begins on March 9th, but the Titans are able to re-sign their own free agents before then. General manager Mike Borgonzi is equipped with more than $100 million in cap space and will collaborate with new head coach Robert Saleh on their shared vision for the 2026 Titans.

We’ll also offer our final verdict and a prediction to go along with our analysis.

Today, we’re analyzing offensive tackle Oli Udoh.

Why the Titans should re-sign Udoh​


Udoh ended up playing a valuable swing role for the Titans behind starters JC Latham and Dan Moore Jr. As far as backup tackles go, he performed reasonably well. Pro Football Focus assigned identical overall and pass-blocking grades of 55.0. The Titans’ offense rarely suffered specifically because Udoh was in the lineup.

Why the Titans should let Udoh walk


PFF also credited Udoh with allowing 19 pressures, three sacks, and being whistled for six penalties. That’s a fair amount of negative plays for a tackle who earned just 274 reps at left and right tackle. Perhaps the Titans could identify a more suitable reserve tackle in free agency.

Projected Contract


Spotrac does not have a projected contract for Udoh. He signed a one-year, $1,170,000 million contract with the Titans last offseason. An extension would probably be in a similar range, maybe with a slight raise in pay.

Final verdict


The Titans should re-sign Udoh. His level of play improved as the campaign progressed forward. Udoh wasn’t a drive-killer when he entered games, and that’s the realistic expectation for reserve tackles. The former Elon standout was even better than recent starters at tackle for the Titans like Dennis Daley, Nicholas Petit-Frere, and Andre Dillard.

Prediction


The Titans re-sign Udoh to another one-year contract.

NFL Free Agency: Should the Titans re-sign LS Morgan Cox?

Welcome to Music City Miracles’ Tennessee Titans 2026 NFL Free Agency Primer! The negotiating window period begins on March 9th, but the Titans are able to re-sign their own free agents before then. General manager Mike Borgonzi is equipped with more than $100 million in cap space and will collaborate with new head coach Robert Saleh on their shared vision for the 2026 Titans.

The Titans are currently scheduled to possess 29 free agents (19 unrestricted), including several key starters and role players. Over the next few weeks, we’ll take an in-depth look at each free agent and provide arguments for why the Titans should, or shouldn’t re-sign that player. We’ll also offer our final verdict and a prediction to go along with our analysis.

Today, we’re analyzing long snapper Morgan Cox.

Why the Titans should re-sign Cox​


Cox is one of the best long snappers in the NFL. He’s a five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl XLVII champion. Cox, a Collierville, Tennessee native, even earned First-Team All-Pro honors in 2020. He’s been perfect for the Titans in his role since 2021.

Why the Titans should let Cox walk


The 39-year-old Cox won’t be around forever. The former undrafted free agent out of Tennessee hasn’t made a Pro Bowl since 2022, indicating the league believes he’s somewhat past his prime. Long snapper is a position that can be solved in undrafted free agency. For example, the Super Bowl-contending New England Patriots signed their current long snapper as a UDFA last offseason.

Projected Contract


Spotrac does not have a projected contract for Cox. He signed a one-year, $1,422,500 million contract with the Titans last offseason. An extension would probably land in a similar range for the experienced long snapper.

Final verdict


The Titans should re-sign Cox if he’s interested in playing for another year. We can’t recall one disastrous snap throughout his tenure in Tennessee. Continuity on special teams is huge, and both kicker Joey Slye and punter Johnny Hekker are also pending free agents. Special teams coordinator John “Bones” Fassel would probably love to have Cox back.

Prediction


The Titans re-sign Cox to another one-year contract.
