File this one under, DUH! The Tennessee Titans are expected to be in the market for a wide receiver when NFL free agency opens next week, according to Matthew Berry. The two best receivers expected to be available are Alec Pierce from the Indianapolis Colts and Wan’Dale Robinson from the New York Giants. Robinson would make a lot of sense due to his ties to Brian Daboll.
Robinson had 92 catches for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns with the Giants last season. Spotrac has Robinson’s value at $17.6 million
per season. That would mean he will likely get a 4-year deal for about $70.5 million. That feels a little steep, but that’s life in free agency.
Speaking of steep, Spotrac has Pierce’s value at $20.2 million per season. That shapes up to a 4-year deal worth nearly $81 million. Pierce fits what the Titans need as he is a guy who can stretch the field. He had 47 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns last season.
In the above-linked article from Berry, he goes into a little more detail about why Jeremiyah Love to the Titans makes a lot of sense. The argument is basically that the Titans need stars, and Love is a star. They also have holes all across the roster, so taking the best player available each time they are on the clock is a smart play.
You get to pick one, Robinson or Pierce. Who are you taking?
