The Tennessee Titans have a big problem on the offensive line, as the unit has been very disappointing in pass protection through three games and is making quarterback Will Levis' life much harder than he's already making it for himself.
The weakest link upfront is at right tackle, where fantasy football expert Nicholas Petit-Frere got benched in Week 3 after another dreadful showing. He was replaced by second-year tackle Jaelyn Duncan, who immediately gave up a sack.
Knowing the issues at right tackle, Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine suggested that the Titans sign veteran right tackle La'El Collins in free agency. Here's his thoughts.
"JC Latham is doing well for a rookie left tackle. The Titans made the right decision throwing him right into the fire, but the tackle group as a whole is incredibly young, and right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere isn't necessarily taking the steps you'd like to see in his third season," Ballentine wrote.
"La'el Collins might not be able to beat him out for the job at this point in his career. However, he is a veteran with experience as both a starting tackle and guard, so signing him would at least provide a backup who could help the young guys along."
After spending the first six seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, Collins played for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022 and struggled, giving up five sacks and 34 pressures en route to a Pro Football Focus pass-blocking grade of 44.2.
Collins didn't play at all in 2023 due to a knee injury he suffered late in the 2022 campaign, and then failed to make the Buffalo Bills' 53-man roster in 2024.
At this point, it wouldn't hurt to bring Collins in to give him a look, but he's hardly a guarantee to provide the relief the Titans need, and chances are he'll just add to the question marks Tennessee already has on the roster.
