The Tennessee Titans hardly looked like a Super Bowl contender early in the 2019 season.

Quarterback Marcus Mariota was struggling, and the team had to turn to oft-injured backup Ryan Tannehill under center.

But Tannehill rattled off seven wins in 10 starts, leading the Titans into the playoffs. Tennessee's momentum did not stop there, as the Titans beat the New England Patriots in the Wild Card round before defeating the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens.

The Titans ultimately came up short against the eventual Super Bowl champions in Kansas City, but it was still a successful campaign.

Heading into 2020, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel admitted every season is different. But he also noted the team had a great virtual offseason and is ready to build on last year (via Jim Wyatt of the team's website):

“Every year is a new year — that's what I learned in the National Football League as a player, and a coach,” Vrabel said. “Everybody starts back over. There's free agency, and you add players and you lose players. There's the draft, and player acquisitions.

“I would say that we had as good a virtual offseason as I could have expected. … I am somewhat happy that we aren't a new staff. This staff has been together, the players, the nucleus has been on it going on three years, and I am hopeful when it is safe to go back out there that we will be able to pick up where we left off and continue to try and build a football team.”

While the Titans retained Tannehill and star running back Derrick Henry in the offseason, they also lost some key pieces.

Tennessee traded Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jurrell Casey and lost former All-Pro right tackle Jack Conklin in free agency. It also does not look like the Titans will re-sign cornerback Logan Ryan.

It remains to be seen whether the Titans can appease Jadeveon Clowney, but they will have to account for some losses in order to have another opportunity to play for the AFC title.
