Tennessee Titans CBS crossroad player

CBS released a list of player that they think are at a crossroads in the AFC. The choice for the Tennessee Titans was none other than blockbuster guard Andy Levitre.

Agent Joel Corry had this to say on Andy Levitre:

"Levitre hasn't been the player the Titans expected when he was given a six-year, $46.8 million contract (includes $16 million guaranteed) in 2013. He probably won't be around in 2016 unless he regains the form he displayed in Buffalo that got him the contract."

While Levitre hasn't been the dominant player that everyone wanted, he didn't have a lot of help from the center position which is more important than you might think. Look no further than Green Bay to see the perfect example.

In 2014 the Green Bay Packers drafted Corey Linsley in the fifth round. He came in and played above average according to PFF, earning a 10.0 rating. That improved play from the center position vaulted T.J. Lang from 15th to 3rd overall in the guard rankings.

So while there is hope if the Tennessee Titans can improve at the center position, this is a big year for Levitre. There are no excuses for a bad performance this year, especially with that contract. With players like Taylor Lewan, Kendall Wright and Chance Warmack starting to look like cornerstone players, the Titans can't afford to have big money wrapped up in non-dominant players.

Hopefully with Andy Gallik and Fernando Velasco now at center competing for the starting job, hopefully the Titans find a long-term answer there. If not, maybe sliding Andy Levitre over to center is a last ditch option for him to earn his money and his spot on the team.

If that doesn't work, then this team may be looking into putting more draft capital and resources into improving this offensive line.
