The Tennessee Titans were involved in one of the biggest shockers of the 2022 NFL draft when they traded AJ Brown to the Eagles. While news of contract talks slowing down swirled, there was hope that the two sides could meet in the middle. Clearly, though, that wasn't the case, as Brown was traded for a first and a third-round pick.

There have long been rumors of AJ Brown and the Titans not seeing eye-to-eye in contract talks. With Julio Jones' release, it was imperative for the team to keep Brown in the fold. However, once contract negotiations broke down, the front office felt it was best for them to cut their losses and find a replacement in the draft.

With the first-rounder they nabbed from the Eagles, the Titans selected Arkansas standout Treylon Burks. They are hoping that Burks, along with whoever they draft with their third-rounder, will be able to fill the void left by Brown. It will be tough: Brown was arguably their best wide-out last season, even with Jones in the fold.

Luckily for the Titans, they still have a monster on offense to lean on in their times of need. Derrick Henry will be coming back stronger than before next season. Hopefully, Henry gained a little more upper body strength to carry this offense on his shoulders.
