The Titans shipped Jeffery Simmons to Chicago for two first-round picks, and the first question in Nashville was whether Cam Ward is the next piece to go. I don’t think so.
Ward hasn’t been good, but look at what he’s had around him. A 1-6 team doesn’t get there because of one guy, and you don’t judge a young quarterback until you give him a line and somebody to throw to. That’s what those picks are for.
This was a business move. Rookie contracts are the cheapest way to fix a roster, and the Titans just bought a lot of them. You build around the quarterback with that haul. You don’t go find a new one.
