The 2025 NFL Draft is just hours away at this point and teams are bound to make free agency signings as well as trades before the Tennessee Titans are officially on the clock.
Word around the league is that Tennessee plans to keep the No. 1 overall pick, and many believe that the pick will be used to select University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
After months of speculation, the consensus around the league is that the #Titans will stay at No. 1 and pick, rather than trade, sources say. No surprise. Decision made.

As the clock turns to draft day, it seems as if Tennessee is looking to add pieces to their offense and build around who ever the No. 1 pick may be.
It's looking like those actions will be made in free agency, signing veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett to a one-year, $4 million deal that's worth up to $6 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Lockett will be entering his 11th NFL season, but it will be with a team other than the Seattle Seahawks.
He has spent all of his career with Seattle and was a fan favorite with the franchise.
In his 11 seasons, Lockett has managed to rack up 661 receptions, 8,594 yards and 61 touchdowns with the Seahawks.
Back in March, Seattle decided to release the playmaking Lockett to clear up some cap space for new signees like Cooper Kupp and Sam Darnold.
A move that has been made the night before the draft, Tennessee's offense is going to be looking a lot different compared to the 2024 season.
Tennessee made the move to pair Lockett with fellow Titans receiver, Calvin Ridley.
