Welcome to Music City Miracles’ Tennessee Titans 2026 NFL Free Agency Primer! The negotiating window period begins on March 9th, but the Titans are able to re-sign their own free agents before then. General manager Mike Borgonzi is equipped with more than $100 million in cap space and will collaborate with new head coach Robert Saleh on their shared vision for the 2026 Titans.
The Titans are currently scheduled to possess 29 free agents (19 unrestricted), including several key starters and role players.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll take an in-depth look at each free agent and provide arguments for why the Titans should, or shouldn’t re-sign that player. We’ll also offer our final verdict and a prediction to go along with our analysis.
Today, we’re analyzing long snapper Morgan Cox.
Why the Titans should re-sign Cox
Cox is one of the best long snappers in the NFL. He’s a five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl XLVII champion. Cox, a Collierville, Tennessee native, even earned First-Team All-Pro honors in 2020. He’s been perfect for the Titans in his role since 2021.
Why the Titans should let Cox walk
The 39-year-old Cox won’t be around forever. The former undrafted free agent out of Tennessee hasn’t made a Pro Bowl since 2022, indicating the league believes he’s somewhat past his prime. Long snapper is a position that can be solved in undrafted free agency. For example, the Super Bowl-contending New England Patriots signed their current long snapper as a UDFA last offseason.
Projected Contract
Spotrac does not have a projected contract for Cox. He signed a one-year, $1,422,500 million contract with the Titans last offseason. An extension would probably land in a similar range for the experienced long snapper.
Final verdict
The Titans should re-sign Cox if he’s interested in playing for another year. We can’t recall one disastrous snap throughout his tenure in Tennessee. Continuity on special teams is huge, and both kicker Joey Slye and punter Johnny Hekker are also pending free agents. Special teams coordinator John “Bones” Fassel would probably love to have Cox back.
Prediction
The Titans re-sign Cox to another one-year contract.
