The Tennessee Titans found their new head coach in January, and before they know it, they’ll be hard at work building up a roster for him to work with this spring. That begins with free agency, which kicks off the week of March 9th. Tennessee has the most cap space in the league as of January 23th ($93,513,641) and after cuts are made, they’re expected to be near or at the top of the league in terms of cash to spend this offseason.
