Tennessee Titans

A destination mentioned in a recent mock draft, Tennessee is set up to accommodate Tagovailoa on its roster. The emergence of Ryan Tannehill means the Titans have a starter who is dependable but may not be the long-term answer.

There appears to be a strong chance Tannehill will be signed to a bridge deal in the offseason. Tagovailoa could, therefore, sit for at least his first year, with no pressure on him to quickly earn the starting role.

Not one of the major media markets in the league, Tennessee would be a low-key spot for Tagovailoa to continue his rehab and development as a player. With plenty of talent on both sides of the ball, a Titans team that consistently contends for the playoffs could see Tagovailoa as an eventual final piece of the puzzle.
