Which traits define the Titans DNA and what could potentially swing their season.
Robert Saleh gives Tennessee a steady hand. A 78.8 Coaching Direction grade is a plus, even if the staff still has something to prove.
Tennessee's quarterback situation is too uncertain. A 72.2 QB Stability grade makes that one of the biggest problems on the roster.
Tennessee has not played well enough lately. The 65.0 Recent Performance grade is the clearest warning sign for the Titans.
This Tennessee Titans update matters more in context than in isolation. The six-year veteran was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2027, having signed a three year deal worth $21 million with the Dolphins in 2024. After going undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft, Brewer signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans that season. It is a Tennessee Titans roster lever, not a full rewrite, which is usually the right way to treat this kind of update.
With Cam Ward in place, the Tennessee Titans are No. 30 on the board with a 70.85 public PFM score after they moved up 1.55 points. The two Tennessee Titans unit scores are close enough to keep the picture balanced: 67.05 on offense and 69.46 on defense.
Recent form is at 64.95, while Franchise Direction sits at 71.25. That keeps the Tennessee Titans dangerous now without answering every long-term question. It keeps the Tennessee Titans optimism grounded in something more than name value. It is not a fatal flaw, but it is the part that keeps the Tennessee Titans rating from running too hot.
- PFM Staff
Tennessee is No. 31 in the latest PFM rankings with a score of 70.8. That lands the team in our Needs More Help tier. Inside the AFC South, the Titans are No. 4. PFM sees a fairly even team on both sides of the ball: 66.9 on offense and 69.5 on defense. Coaching Direction is the best grade at 78.8, with Robert Saleh leading the staff. That is a big reason for the Work in Progress archetype. Cam Ward gives Tennessee a workable answer at quarterback. The 72.2 QB Stability grade, No. 29 in PFM shows there is still room for more.
There is still a 13.9-point gap between the best and worst grades, so the roster is not as balanced as it needs to be. At 65.0, Recent Performance is keeping expectations in check.
PFM ratings are updated regularly throughout the year.
