The Tennessee Titans totally revamped their wide receiver corps for franchise quarterback Cam Ward this offseason. Mike Borgonzi signed Wan’Dale Robinson to a four-year contract worth $70 million in free agency. The Titans then doubled down at the position by selecting Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Titans have more depth at the position than ever before. They decided to retain former 1,000 yard receiver Calvin Ridley as opposed to making him a salary cap casualty, which
is the move everyone expected them to make. Sophomores Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike help round out a stellar room.
Tate and Robinson are the overwhelming favorites to be the Titans’ top two receivers. Robinson has essentially spent his entire NFL career playing for new Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. That’s the biggest reason why Borgonzi signed him in free agency.
Robinson registered 90+ receptions in consecutive seasons with the New York Giants in 2024 and 2025. Even though Daboll was fired midway through 2025, it was still his offense. Robinson also surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career this past season.
Robinson projects as a high-volume weapon in Daboll’s offense. He’ll be a quarterback-friendly target for Ward. That makes Robinson a strong candidate to lead the Titans in receptions, but Tate’s big-play ability could make him the offense’s receiving yards leader.
Robinson has a career average of just 9.2 yards per catch, highlighting his strengths underneath the coverage. College is different from the pros, but Tate averaged 15.5 yards per reception at Ohio State, including a career-high 17.2 this past season. Tate does damage in the intermediate and deep areas.
The Titans are also highly invested in Tate as the fourth overall pick. Daboll has a history of acquiring premium receivers and making them the focal point of the offense. That’s precisely what he did with Stefon Diggs and Malik Nabers in previous stops.
