There aren’t many AFC-NFC rivalries, owing to the NFL’s scheduling formula, but the Tennessee Titans have put a good effort into frustrating the New Orleans Saints over the last few years. They’ve beaten the Saints to the punch on multiple personnel pickups: outbidding them for slot receiver Adam Humphries, winning the dubious Jadeveon Clowney sweepstakes, and sniping top cornerback prospect Caleb Farley ahead of them in this year’s draft. Former Saints first rounder Kenny Vaccaro started several years for them, too.
They even snapped up Janoris Jenkins to pair with Farley after the Saints cut him, though the veteran cornerback relayed a lot of positives about his experience in New Orleans.
