Super Bowl week is always a fun time and you never know who will show up on radio row.

On Friday, former Tennessee Titans running back tandem Chris Johnson and LenDale White reunited at the Super Bowl to promote their Smash & Dash podcast.

In a conversation with Jim Wyatt, the two dove into many topics, including their thoughts on what the Titans should do this offseason and with the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

From #SuperBowl: Smash & Dash @thereal_lendale and @ChrisJohnson28 have love for the @Titans — and solutions.

In New Orleans, they discuss their friendship, their podcast, the NFL Draft, free agency thoughts and more.

“We said on our show: With the first pick … We want Travis Hunter,” White said. “No disrespect to Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward, but he’s a generational talent. Obviously, he plays corner, but I don’t think we give him enough credit for what he does on the offensive side of the football.”

This isn’t the first time someone has mentioned Hunter being a potential match for the Titans. In fact, according to many of the draft experts, he may be the only clear generational talent in this class and that is something the Titans have openly expressed they are looking for.

Both Johnson and White believe the new front office can turn things around and have high hopes that things can happen quickly. Of course, they also have some interesting ideas on how to make it happen.

Whether it was picking up quarterback Aaron Rodgers or trading for Myles Garrett, they were committed to taking Hunter with that selection. While Rodgers and Garrett may be on the Smash & Dash wish list, they may not fit with what the front office has in mind this offseason.

Like everyone else, these two former Titans are ready for the offseason to start rolling along.

Next stop is the NFL Combine.

Analyst believes Titans could trade out of the No. 1 pick

While the NFL draft does not take place until April, many analysts love to speculate about what they’ve heard or what they think the Tennessee Titans will do with their first pick.

The Titans have shared little about their intentions, only stating that they will not pass up a generational talent. Sitting here today before the combine, interviews, or pro day workouts, it is hard to tell whether that player exists.

Yes, players like Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter are popular names to connect to Tennessee, but again, this is all speculation.

One analyst thinks the Titans may go a different route with that selection.

It’s hard to debate Graziano’s take. The Titans roster does have some huge holes that must be filled before they can truly become Super Bowl contenders. With free agency on the horizon, they may be able to fill some of those, but there is no guarantee they will go that direction after their $228 million spending spree blew up in their face in 2024.

While Tennessee may choose to make a selection with the first pick, a trade out of the spot may fit the bill in this case if they aren’t sold on any of the top prospects. This may not be what many fans want to see, but it might be the best move in a draft full of uncertainty surrounding the depth of the class.

Everyone should find out a lot more in the coming weeks with the NFL Combine on the horizon. Between the player interviews and workouts, a lot of information will come out that will help give a better understanding of what teams are thinking as they populate their draft boards.

Jameis Winston wants to move his family to Nashville

NFL quarterback Jameis Winston hasn’t had the career most thought he would. A standout player at Florida State, Winson was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he played from 2015-2019.

The Bucs opted not to re-sign Winston and instead brought in veteran quarterback Tom Brady.

Upon leaving the Bucs, Winston signed with the New Orleans Saints. He endured a torn ACL with MCL damage in 2021 and in Week 1 of 2022, he suffered four back fractures. His playing time dwindled and he eventually made his way to Cleveland in 2024, where he took over for Deshaun Watson when he tore his Achilles tendon.

Now, though, Winston is a free agent and has made many comments about where he’d like to go. One recurring spot is Nashville, Tennessee, as you can see him telling comedian Bert Kreischer.

Winston says, in part, “I would like to just be in the south and go to Tennessee or something.”

“Oh, Tennessee would be great,” Kreischer replies.

“And I wouldn’t mind Houston either. But I want to be in a vibrant city, man. Cleveland was nice, but I would love to have my family stay in downtown Nashville,” he said.

Granted, Winston mentions several cities that he’d like to go to, but Nashville definitely seems high on his list. It will be interesting to see what the Titans do with this information, if anything.

Titans select QB Cam Ward in latest 33rd Team mock

The 2025 NFL draft is less than three months away and NFL analysts and insiders are putting together their best predictions. The Tennessee Titans have the first overall pick in this year’s draft and will be the topic of conversation until that first pick is made. Everyone wants to know: Who will the Titans select with their top pick?

The 33rd Team released its latest mock draft, and they think that Cam Ward is the answer.

Quarterback or not, the speculation about this pick will remain on high for the foreseeable future – just how the Titans want it. You never know when a veteran QB may become available and another team gets desperate to offer you a Godfather deal to move out. The Titans are wise to keep their intentions muddy. But at this point, it is hard to believe they’d bypass on the chance at a fresh start at quarterback.

The biggest speculation is that the Titans will take either Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward, but some outliers believe they will select Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter, and there are even a few who think the Titans should trade their top pick.

The Titans have been vague on what their plans are with that pick, and rightfully so. The more they can keep the rest of the league guessing, the more they’ll be able to get out of that pick if they decide to trade it. Still, it’s unlikely that the Titans trade the top pick because they have so many needs this year. We’ll all just have to wait and see what they decide to do, and in the meantime it’s still fun to speculate and predict what might happen.

Titans' 7 biggest needs heading into free agency

The Tennessee Titans suffered through a miserable 3-14 campaign that prompted major changes in the organizational structure within the front office. Now, this new team, led by president Chad Brinker and general manager Mike Borgonzi will set out to retool their roster.

Along with Brinker and Borgonzi, the Titans added new assistant general manager Dave Ziegler and vice president/football adviser Reggie McKenzie to the staff. It was a complete overhaul aimed at building a consistent contender.

Armed with the No. 1 pick in the draft and roughly $50 million in cap space, the Titans have different ways to attack this rebuild. Of course, the first order of business is identifying their needs.

Here is a list of what we at Titans Wire believe are their biggest needs heading into the start of free agency.

Titans' Mike Borgonzi: 'We've had some phone calls'

During his press availability at the NFL combine, new general manager Mike Borgonzi spoke about the Tennessee Titans holding the No. 1 pick.

While Borgonzi would not discuss specific prospects or provide detailed information on the plan for the future, he did open up about free agency and roster building.

“In the media, for sure,” Borgonzi stated on the pick. “Any time you have the No. 1 pick, it’s going to be a topic of conversation.”

He followed that with, “We’ve had some phone calls. Yeah, and I’ll keep those phone calls to the vest,” when asked about other teams inquiring about the selection.

This should come as no surprise. Rumors surrounding the Titans and their potential desire to trade back have been all over the media in recent weeks. Of course, at this point before free agency, any statement concerning the pick is nothing more than speculation.

One thing is certain: There will likely be more phone calls in the coming weeks. Everyone will find out in April if any of the calls were worth taking.
