The Tennessee Titans finally have money to spend. Now they have to decided how much of that money should go to keeping their free agents in Nashville.

After releasing Taylor Lewan, Robert Woods, Zach Cunningham and Randy Bullock, the Titans freed up enough money to be $12.41 million under the salary cap heading into the new league year, which begins March 15. The Titans intend to release outside linebacker Bud Dupree as well but haven’t indicated whether his release will take effect on March 15 or June 1, a decision that could give the Titans another $9 million to play with when free agency opens up with the new league year.

MOCK DRAFT:2023 NFL Draft mock 2.0: How Tennessee Titans snag a starter for next 10 years

The Titans have 38 players set to hit free agency, including the recent roster cuts. It’s plausible that two-thirds of those free agents will be playing elsewhere next season, as general manager Ran Carthon rebuilds the roster in his image and many players the Titans added as injury replacements last fall head back to the waiver wire.

Here’s a breakdown of every Titans free agent for 2023 and which ones are likeliest to land back with the team.

Offensive skill players

QB Joshua Dobbs: Yes
RB Dontrell Hilliard: No
RB Trenton Cannon: No
WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (restricted): Yes
WR Robert Woods: No
WR Chris Conley: No
WR Cody Hollister: No
WR C.J. Board: Yes
TE Austin Hooper: No
TE Geoff Swaim: Maybe
MY TAKE: Bringing back Dobbs as a second- or third-string option at quarterback feels warranted. Westbrook-Ikhine is a valuable piece to hold onto as long as the Titans don’t need him to be their WR2 again. Board’s special teams acumen lands him back on the roster, and Swaim’s presence as an in-line blocker serves a purpose so long as he’s used situationally instead of making the offense predictable any time he’s on the field.
