4 years agoTight end Jonnu Smith is on track toward becoming a free agent after the Tennessee Titans did not place their franchise tag on him Tuesday. Smith started 53 of the 60 games that he has appeared in with Tennessee since 2017, having racked up 16 receiving touchdowns, eight of which came this past year, setting a new career high. Across the board, 2020 was the most productive of Smith's career, which bodes well for his prospects on the open market, where he'll be joined by former Chargers tight end Hunter Henry. Should the Titans and Smith ultimately not come to a new deal, Tennessee will have to re-evaluate it's TE depth as Anthony Firkser is set to become a restricted free agent, while MyCole Pruitt is also set for the open market.--Jesse Borek
