Tennessee Titans' supporting cast ranked among NFL's worst

Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Bogonzi was tasked with rebuilding an organization that has struggled to remain relevant.

Since moving to Tennessee from Houston, the Titans have made 10 postseason appearances, including a Super Bowl appearance in 1999 when they lost to the St. Louis Rams. Borgonzi is the next guy tabbed to take this franchise to the next level, but first, the rebuild.

To that end, the Titans made many impactful moves during the offseason. They bolstered the offensive line during free agency and added other offensive weapons through the 2025 NFL draft. One of those weapons is Cam Ward, the rookie standout from Miami who is expected to start for the Titans in Week 1.

But how did Borgonzi do with Ward’s supporting cast? FOX Sports ranks the Titans’ supporting cast near the bottom of the league at 29th overall.

It feels like a big deal that Cam Ward is going to start his NFL career behind an offensive line that should give him a chance. Maybe the Titans overpaid for a couple pieces there, but it still looks like it’s going to be a much better unit than what you’d expect from the team picking first in the draft. Calvin Ridley is still a solid enough receiver, and Tony Pollard still managed 1,000 yards on last year’s terrible team. The options behind them aren’t as exciting, but you’ve got to admit this isn’t an awful starting point.

It’s interesting that with such a low ranking, there wasn’t much negative to say about the Titans’ offensive weapons. There are no big names outside of Calvin Ridley and Tony Pollard, but they are all very capable players. Rookies Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and Xavier Restrepo are already turning heads, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see one or more of them take a starting spot before the season ends.

Add to that the lack of talk about Tyjae Spears and what he brings to the table, that he held down the ground game while Tony Pollard battled injury in 2024. He has his own injury issues, but he’s a multi-faceted player who can be used to disguise plays of all kinds.

So, while FOX Sports ranks the Titans’ supporting cast near the bottom of the league, it’s mostly because it’s an untested group in a new regime. How they perform this season will show us where things truly stand.
