The Titans’ track record with fifth-year options comes under scrutiny following their decision to reject Caleb Farley’s.
When it comes to exercising fifth-year options for their first-round picks, the Tennessee Titans have struggled more than most teams in the NFL in recent years. Jason from Over The Cap points out that since 2018, the Titans have only exercised one fifth-year option for their first-round picks, placing them among the bottom teams in the league in terms of percentage. That solitary option belonged to Jeffery Simmons.
This highlights the overall disappointment of Jon Robinson’s first-round selections in recent years, contrasting with his relative success in later rounds during the earlier part of his tenure.
Reflecting on the Titans’ history with fifth-year options, which became applicable to first-round picks from 2011 onwards, the team’s track record is middling at best. While they have a higher percentage of options exercised compared to some teams, it still leaves much to be desired.
Below is an overview of the Titans’ history with fifth-year options, culminating in a comparison of how many were accepted versus declined.
