The A.J. Brown Trade Looks Worse With Each Passing Week

Bleav in Titans

Two of the biggest personnel moves the Tennessee Titans made in 2022 remain topics of discussion after the Philadelphia Eagles, with wide receiver A.J. Brown and punter Brett Kern, reach the Super Bowl. The Titans traded Brown to Philadelphia in a draft-day deal that continues to haunt the franchise given his personal success and Tennessee's regression in the passing game this season. The argument even can be made that Brown has a lot to do with why Philadelphia is still playing. Kern lost his job to undrafted rookie Ryan Stonehouse. That move worked out for both sides as Stonehouse set an NFL record for Tennessee and Kern, after spending most of the season out of action, gets a chance to cap his career with a championship. ... Speaking of the Super Bowl, the Titans faced both teams -- Philadelphia and Kansas City -- during the regular season. Tennessee lost both but in decidedly different manners. ... Ran Carthon will have to cut players to get under the salary cap and does not have a ton of draft capital. His first offseason as Titans general manager, therefore, will be drastically different than Jon Robinson's first (2016), which was a turning point for the franchise. ... Carthon also has gone on the record with what he likes in a quarterback and one of the current Titans fits the bill. But it is possible that he could call on connections with his former team, the San Francisco 49ers, at that position along with a few others.
