Tough Season Brings Changes for the Tennessee Titans
A Season to Forget
The Tennessee Titans endured a 2024 season that most fans would like to forget. Finishing with a dismal 3-14 record, they found themselves languishing at the bottom of the league. This wasn’t just a bad year; it was the worst, leaving the Titans with the league's poorest record of the season. Such performances inevitably lead to shake-ups, and in Tennessee, this was no exception.
Front Office Overhaul
The underperformance clearly did not sit well with the organization. Ran Carthon, who served as the general manager for two seasons, was relieved of his duties by controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk. This decision is seen as a move by the Titans to recalibrate and set a new direction for the future. As a result, eyes are turning toward the upcoming NFL draft as an opportunity for a fresh start.
Looking to the Future with the 2025 NFL Draft
With their unfortunate ranking, there is a silver lining: the Titans hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It’s an opportunity that presents the team with a chance to add significant talent to their roster. One name that’s consistently popping up in mock drafts is Shedeur Sanders, a quarterback hailing from Colorado. The buzz around Sanders suggests he could be the latest in a line of young quarterbacks ready to take on the NFL by storm.
The Sanders Effect
Interestingly, Shedeur Sanders isn’t just making waves for his on-field potential. His father, Deion Sanders, who is the head coach at Colorado, brings a certain aura and attention to the young quarterback's journey. Shedeur is often mentioned alongside another standout player from Colorado, Travis Hunter, highlighting the rich talent pool the university has been nurturing.
Deion's perspective on the draft could be telling. On the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, he remarked, “I know where I want them to go. So, it's certain cities that ain't going to happen. It's going to be an Eli [Manning].” This reference to Eli Manning's draft experience—where Manning refused to play for the team that originally selected him—hints at strategic thinking about his son’s future.
A Critical Juncture for the Titans
As the draft approaches, the Titans are at a critical juncture. Decisions made in the coming months will shape the team for years to come. With the first overall pick, they have the power to influence not only their own destiny but the broader dynamics of the league next season. Whether Shedeur Sanders becomes part of their plans remains to be seen, but fans will undoubtedly watch every move with keen interest, hoping for a turnaround that propels the Titans back to competitiveness.
For Tennessee, it’s more than a draft—it’s a chance to rebuild, rethink, and rekindle the spirit of a team eager to move past a challenging chapter in its storied history.
