Houston Texans v Tennessee Titans

There hasn’t been a lot of news today when it comes to the Titans and free agency, but this is a significant report:

NFL sources predict extremely high chance A.J. Bouye remains in AFC South with either Texans, Titans, Jaguars or Colts

The Titans need to step up and “overpay” him. That is very important for 2 reasons:

The Titans need a corner, and he is the best one available. He is from this area and has hinted that he would like to play for the Titans.
You weaken the other teams in the division by keeping him off of their roster. The Jaguars would be basically impossible to pass against with A.J. Bouye and Jalen Ramsey at corner. That is not something the Titans need.
