Terence Newman

Terence Newman will be 39 years old when the 2017 season gets underway, but he’s coming off a season where he played remarkably well.

It might seem like a good idea for the Titans to sign Newman to a one year deal, and draft a cornerback. It would allow the young cornerback to develop behind a solid vet like Newman.

The only problem is that I doubt the Titans are the only team that will want to sign Newman to a

one year deal. He won’t exactly be cheap.

And again, this brings us back to the fact that Tennessee needs to invest long term in a cornerback in the prime of their career.

The Titans need to be targeting some of the top young corners on the market (AJ Bouye for one).

This is a team that is built for the future. The Titans, if they properly address their secondary, should be contenders for the next several seasons.

Signing a player like Newman is setting your sights a bit low.

The Titans could go deep in the playoffs next season. If they want to do that, they need to spend like a team that goes deep in the playoffs.
