Ten teams flush with cash that can crush NFL free agency

2017 NFL season

5. Tennessee Titans ($67,150,138)

The Titans are in a terrific spot to make a big move in the AFC South and could really make some big moves in free agency to further their cause.

A team that already has its quarterback in place, a fantastic offensive line set up, a running back crew that can wreck mountains, an up-and-coming receiver in Tajae Sharpe and a tight end in Delanie Walker who continues to bloom even in his latter years, there is a lot to like about Tennessee.

Adding an impact receiver to pair with Sharpe should be a priority, but most of the work in free agency should revolve around improving the team’s defense.

Ranked No. 20 overall last year in total defense, the Titans struggled to defend against the pass but featured a stout run defense. Going after a shut-down man-to-man specialist like Stephon Gillmore would be a smart move that would have a ripple effect on the entire defense. Another player the Titans should pursue hard is A.J. Bouye, who has become an outstanding cover man in Houston.

Finally, adding some more firepower off the edge would make a big difference for Tennessee’s defense. Brian Orakpo had a nice season, and so did Derrick Morgan, but the Titans need more than two pass-rushing specialists to optimize their defense.
