The anticipation surrounding the Tennessee Titans as the NFL Draft approaches is palpable, especially with new general manager Mike Borgonzi at the helm. With the likely selection of Cam Ward at the No. 1 overall pick, focus shifts to the critical No. 35 pick on day two. Lacking a third-round selection due to a trade that brought L'Jarius Sneed to Tennessee, the Titans face pressure to maximize their second-round pick, potentially trading back or dealing a player to gain additional capital.

Borgonzi’s vision for the team includes building through the draft, and with pressing needs at wide receiver and edge rusher, the Titans must efficiently navigate this draft. The decision to trade back or acquire more picks could significantly impact their ability to enhance the roster.

Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach highlighted the team's excitement over the addition of defensive back Kristian Fulton, emphasizing the need for depth in the cornerback position. After losing key player L'Jarius Sneed last season and dealing with injuries to several other players, the Chiefs prioritized bolstering their secondary. Fulton, who started 15 games with the Los Angeles Chargers last season, brings experience and talent. His track record includes 51 tackles and an interception, showcasing his capability behind the line.

Veach noted that Fulton was a player they coveted during the 2020 NFL Draft, indicating confidence in his abilities. The Chiefs' defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, has a reputation for utilizing a deep cornerback rotation, making Fulton a valuable asset for the upcoming season. With the potential for a strong secondary, the Chiefs aim to improve on last year's defensive performance.

The Tennessee Titans have officially parted ways with cornerback Chidobe Awuzie after just one season, as confirmed by the team's announcement. Awuzie, who signed a three-year deal last offseason, faced a challenging year due to a groin injury that limited him to only eight games. During his brief stint, he recorded 24 tackles, one interception, a forced fumble, and defended four passes, but his performance was deemed insufficient to justify his contract.

His release will save the Titans $1.725 million in cap space, but they will incur $12.5 million in dead cap space for the 2025 season. This move paves the way for upcoming talents like rookie Jarvis Brownlee, who impressed in his inaugural season. The Titans are also counting on the abilities of L'Jarius Sneed and Roger McCreary to bolster their secondary as they continue to refine their roster.

The Kansas City Chiefs face a challenging offseason with multiple players, including Tershawn Wharton, hitting the free agency market. Wharton, who has spent five years with the team, is coming off a career-best season, drawing interest from various teams. While the Chiefs may have ambitions to retain him, the growing competition for his services diminishes those prospects. With fellow defenders George Karlaftis and Chris Jones still on the roster, Wharton’s future remains uncertain. His case parallels that of L’Jarius Sneed, whose strong performance diminished after leaving Kansas City. As several key players, including Derrick Nnadi and Marlon Tuipulotu, are also set to depart, concerns about the Chiefs' defensive depth surface. Coach Steve Spagnuolo's previous success in maximizing player potential offers some optimism, yet the path ahead for the Chiefs’ defense remains to be seen.
