Recent Titans draft pick is already a cut candidate ahead of camp

The Tennessee Titans selected tight end Josh Whyle in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The thought was that he'd eventually develop into a useful contributor. After an injury-riddled rookie season, expectations were far higher for his sophomore campaign.

There was even chatter that Whyle could supplant Chig Okonkwo as the team's top tight end last offseason. That projection came nowhere near fruition. Despite playing a full 17-game season, Whyle was the Titans' third-most snapped TE (345), trailing Okonkwo (665) and veteran blocker Nick Vannett (399).

Whyle's impact was minimal.
