NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After reaching the playoffs for the second straight season, the Tennessee Titans find themselves with a dilemma.
They want to improve a pass rush that ranked 30th (19 sacks) in 2020. They also face the possibility of losing two players -- tight end Jonnu Smith (65 catches, 984 yards, 5 TDs in 2020) and wide receiver Corey Davis (41 catches, 448 yards, 8 TDs) -- who were heavy contributors to an offense that averaged 30.7 points per game last season. They'd like to bring back both.
But the salary cap won't have the typical jump because of the pandemic.
