Tennessee Titans: Five Defensive Linemen The Titans Should Target In Free Agency
By Zach Ragan
Nick Fairley
There’s honestly no telling what kind of deal Nick Fairley will command this off-season.
A team will either overpay for him based on his strong 2016 season, or someone will get him at a very economical price and he will be a steal.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Regardless, the Titans should seriously consider signing the 29 year old Fairley.
When you talk about a player that’s a great fit for Dick LeBeau’s defense, you have to think of Fairley.
The former Auburn Tiger is 6’4″ and just over 300 lbs. He takes up a lot of space in the middle of a defensive line.
But Fairley isn’t just a space eater, he can also get after the quarterback (he had 6.5 sacks last season, to go with 43 total tackles).
Of all the players on this list, I like the idea of Fairley in Nashville the most. He has a lot of potential, he brings a lot to the table, and he likely won’t be as expensive as a Calais Campbell or Dontari Poe.
