The Tennessee Titans finished with a 3-14 record during the 2025 NFL season. Tennessee decided to hire Robert Saleh as the next head coach of the franchise, and he was the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers a season ago. The Titans are looking to get things right this time around after they mistakenly fired Mike Vrabel a few years ago.

Tennessee no doubt will need help on both sides of the ball this offseason. Expect Saleh and company to bulk up the defensive side of the football, especially the pass rush. One free agent who could be a good fit for this team is defensive end Joey Bosa. He played for the Buffalo Bills during the 2025 NFL season.
PFF Urges the Tennessee Titans to Sign DE Joey Bosa In Free Agency This Offseason

Profootballfocus.com writer Mason Cameron wrote about the top defensive end free agents on the market this offseason and where they should possibly go. He believes that Bosa would be a perfect fit for the Titans. Cameron said,
“Entering his age-31 season, Bosa is proving he can still play at a high level. Although he recorded just five sacks and 36 pressures inBuffalothis past season, he showed a propensity for racking up quick wins as a pass rusher, posting his highest PFF pass-rush grade since 2021. He was particularly adept at beating true pass sets, where he earned an 89.4 PFF pass-rush grade, a mark that placed him ninth among all edge defenders in 2025.
While Bosa hasn’t been as strong a run defender as of late, he can still provide a defense with a strong veteran presence and pass-rush specialist. The Titans recently hired Bosa’s former defensive coordinator in Los Angeles, Gus Bradley, making them a potential fit. Under Bradley from 2017 through 2020, Bosa produced a 90.0-plus PFF pass-rush grade in three of his four seasons.
With that familiarity, Bosa could recapture that production while also injecting juice into aTitansdefense that ranked 28th in pressure rate off the edge (18.7%).”
Tennessee would no doubt add talent on the defensive line in free agency and expect the Titans to take more pass rushing help fourth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft as well. Bosa played in 15 games last season for Buffalo. With the Bills, he recorded 29 tackles, five sacks, five forced fumbles, and two pass deflections. He is 30 years old. It will be interesting to see if the Titans or another team would give him a long-term contract or not this offseason.
