Analyst says Titans' signing of John Franklin-Myers as one of the best

The Tennessee Titans have been extremely active during the first wave of free agency, adding both depth and talent to a roster that had more questions than answers entering the offseason. While some of the signings have moved the needle more than others, there is little doubt that they will make an impact on both sides of the ball. One of those signings has caught the eye of NFL.

com columnist Jeffri Chadiha, who names the signing of John Franklin-Myers one of the 10 best so far in the free agency period. 4) Tennessee Titans sign pass rusher John Franklin-Myers. Franklin-Myers was the best talent in a mediocre crop of interior defensive linemen.

That qualifier shouldn't diminish what he brings to the Titans. For one, he played under new Tennessee head coach Robert Saleh when the two were together with the New York Jets. Franklin-Myers also should pair well with fellow Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who requires constant double-teams.

Franklin-Myers is capable enough as a pass rusher that he should be able to create mismatches against opposing lineman when Simmons receives extra attention. The Titans also traded for another former Jet, edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II, so you can see exactly what Saleh wants this defense to be up front. It's going to be all about making life miserable for every quarterback the Titans face.
