Titans continue to rise in the latest Fox Sports power rankings

The Tennessee Titans have made some significant additions to the roster in the first wave of free agency, adding depth and competition to both sides of the ball. Couple that with an epic rebranding campaign, and the excitement is building in Nashville. While nothing will be known about how much the team has improved until they hit the field under new head coach Robert Saleh, at least on paper, they have started to move the needle in a positive direction, with Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports moving them up one spot in the updated power rankings .

26 Tennessee Titans (Previously ranked: 27) The drunken sailors of this free agent market, their obsession with ex-Giants and Jets was weird (wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott, tight end Daniel Bellinger, defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers). All are solid players and will improve the team, though, if you can ignore the prices. Yes, the Titans have relied on familiar faces that the new coaching staff believes in to reestablish the organizational floor, but that should pay dividends when the team hits the field to start implementing the new systems on both sides of the ball.

Tennessee entered the offseason with the league's youngest roster, and having veterans familiar with the system will help ease the transition. With a roster that was mostly a disaster prior to free agency, the additions both fill needs and, regardless of where they played previously, vastly improved a roster that needed competition and depth.
