CBS Sports thinks the Tennessee Titans should target a former Tennessee Vols standout in free agency.

Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports thinks the Titans should try to sign Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cam Sutton this offseason.

From CBS Sports:

Bring him home. A former University of Tennessee star, Sutton is coming off of his best NFL season with the Steelers, recording 15 passes defended and three interceptions. The Titans have a need at cornerback, but are a bit strapped for cash. Sutton won't cost as much as players like Jamel Dean or James Bradberry, and he can play in the slot as well.

Sutton, who played at Tennessee from 2013 to 2016, would definitely be a nice fit for a Titans team that could use a cornerback.

The former Vol isn't viewed as a superstar, but he's quietly become one of the more dependable cornerbacks in the NFL.

Sutton was graded as PFF's No. 27 cornerback in 2022, which puts him among the top half of cornerbacks in the NFL.

The only problem is that Sutton recently said he'd like to stay in Pittsburgh.

"I’m not a guy always being on the move, I just want to be around," said Sutton last week. "You know, like I’ve said, I feel like I’ve established a lot here, seeing so much ball just year in year out, and just a comfortability of the guys in the system."

If Sutton, a Georgia native, is going to entertain free-agent offers (he could sign an extension with the Steelers), then the Titans might have a shot to land him. But they'll have to offer more cash than the Steelers, otherwise, the former Tennessee star will likely be back in Pittsburgh next season.
