As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our quick-hitting Team Vibes and Players We're In and Out On, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't give you a good return on that investment).

Titans, Team Vibes

• Good - 0
• Neutral - 9
• Bad - 8

Staffers with Good Vibes

• None.

Staffers with Neutral Vibes

• Ben Cummins: As long as Ryan Tannehill is behind center. Bad if Will Levis is the quarterback.
• Jordan McNamara: The team keeps taking relatively cheap shots on quarterbacks of the future in an effort to rebuild without bottoming out.
• Phil Alexander: The Titans still think they can contend if Ryan Tannehill stays healthy, so expect things to remain status quo, at least to start the year.
• Dan Hindery: The expectations are low enough that we could see a couple of Titans outperform ADP, especially if Treylon Burks and Chigoziem Okonkwo can breakout in their second seasons.
• Jason Wood: They have optionality with Will Levis, but this will still be a run-heavy, ball control offense of things go to plan.
• Daniel Harms: The offensive line should be better than in 2022, but they are capped with their QB room and receiver corps.
• Andy Hicks: There are new and young pieces in place that could revitalize the offense.
• Jeff Tefertiller: With Derrick Henry in the lineup, this offense will not be bad, no matter the quarterback situation.
• Jeff Haseley: Tennessee still has Derrick Henry and a head coach who knows how to win in Mike Vrabel.

Staffers with Bad Vibes

• Chad Parsons: The Titans are crumbling as an offensive roster. The team drafting Day 2 quarterbacks in back-to-back years is not a great sign for Ryan Tannehill to return to his peak powers.
• Jeff Bell: The success of the offense is dependent on Ryan Tannehill, who regressed to the level that saw him lose his job in Miami.
• Ryan Weisse: They were bad last year and did nothing to get better.
• Dave Kluge: An aging roster that missed the playoffs last year did nothing to improve and got a year older.
• Matt Montgomery: This feels like a team that peaked when they lost a home playoff game to the Bengals. The core players Tannehill and Henry aren't getting any younger and they have little help elsewhere.
• Christian Williams: No comment. Just bad.
• Justin Howe: They've yet to find their quarterback, and all the pressure sits on two second-year guys (Burks and Okonkwo) to make all of the splash plays.
• Joey Wright: This is a team in transition with the least exciting prospects among their division mates.
