NASHVILLE — It was always between Nashville and New York for new Tennessee Titan Wan’Dale Robinson. After his first four years in the NFL with the Giants, the 25-year old followed the coach that drafted him, Brian Daboll, to Music City.

Daboll was hired by new head coach Robert Saleh to fill the offensive coordinator vacancy after being fired by New York last season.

Brian Daboll knows exactly what Wan’Dale Robinson is

$38 million guaranteed on a four-year, $70 million deal sounds like a ton of money for a role player.

That is exactly what Robinson should be in Tennessee, however. 2025 saw Robinson reach career-highs in every category but receptions as his role within the Giants offense grew to showcase his versatility. According to Pro Football Focus, Robinson took only 134 more snaps in the slot (548) than he did split out wide (414) last season.

That was a disparity of 480 plays in his deployment only one year prior.

“A lot of games (Daboll) can just find that match-up and being able to get open on those option routes,” Robinson told Titans media via Zoom this week. “I feel like its kind of a big part of the offense: being able to get the ball out quick and finding zones and finding little areas to get open. Just felt like I’ve done that pretty well the last two years.”

Tennessee is counting on that prior experience between coach and receiver to kick-start the Titans offense around second-year quarterback Cam Ward.

Ward did crash Robinson’s Zoom call with the media just to check in on his new teammate. The young passer does have an infections energy around him and a clear talent that proved attractive in luring both coaches and players to Nashville this offseason.

It will take more than a winning personality to revive a passing game that finished 31st in EPA (-148.49) last season.
