As Cam Ward heads into his second NFL season, the Tennessee Titans aim to make his development as smooth as possible. With free agency approaching, the franchise is predicted to sign a reliable 28-year-old pass catcher who could bring stability to their wide receiver room.
Titans Expected to Sign Sure-Handed Veteran Wideout
PFSN Analyst and writer Jacob Infante published an article outlining potential landing spots and projected contracts for each one of the top-100 free agents. Notably, he ranked Jauan Jennings as the fifth-best free agent receiver and his 31st overall player available.
He wrote: “Jauan Jennings faced less competition for touches in the San Francisco 49ers’ passing attack in 2025, with Brandon Aiyuk out for the whole year and Deebo Samuel being traded to Washington. Despite that, Jennings’ receiving yard total dropped from 975 in 2024 to 643 in 2025.”
Infante added, “However, Jennings improved with 9 receiving touchdowns this year, leading the 49ers. He’s a 6’3″, sure-handed receiver who can block; he’ll surely get his fair share of looks out in free agency this offseason.”
The analyst also noted that the Titans were a potential destination for Jennings, and the veteran WR should see a contract in the range of three years, 18 million annually. Tennessee, controlling the third most cap space in the NFL with $89.2 million, will have the perfect opportunity to add him.
Not only is it a want for the Titans, though, but it is also an absolute need. This past season, the team’s receiving corps featured Calvin Ridley, Chimere Dike, Van Jefferson, and Elic Ayomanor. Respectively, among all NFL receivers, the players ranked 76th, 80th, 92nd, and 99th per PFSN’s WR Impact metric.
Ward, the first-overall pick last offseason, posted a 59.8 Impact Score, placing 45th among quarterbacks, while the offense as a whole ranked 30th. Simply put, the Titans are desperate for talent on the offensive side of the ball, and the 22-TD WR could offer that.
With the 49ers in 2024, Jennings recorded a 79.9 Impact score and ranked 28th among all receivers. This past season, however, he took a step back, posting a 71.1 score, placing 77th. Then again, as Infante noted, he recorded nine receiving touchdowns and proved to be one of the best red-zone threats in the entire league.
If Jennings does, in fact, sign with the Titans this offseason, he would undoubtedly operate as the franchise’s number one option. Most importantly, Ward would have a weapon that he could rely on big-time, and especially in the red area. Tennessee will be a team to monitor next season as Ward looks to take a second-year leap and help the Titans return to playoff contention.
