Should I Start Roger McCreary?

The Athletic's Joe Rexrode believes that giving Tennessee Titans cornerback Roger McCreary a contract extension this summer seems like a smart decision as the former second-rounder in 2022 enters his fourth NFL season. McCreary is by no means an elite defensive back, but he's been versatile and durable for the Titans, missing just four games in his first three years in the league. Tennessee also has plenty of question marks on defense and in their defensive backfield, so it would seem to be a wise move to get the 25-year-old locked in long term. The Auburn alum actually took a step back in 2024, posting a career-low 50 tackles (43 solo), one sack, 12 tackles for loss and only one pass breakup in 15 games (seven starts) in his third season. McCreary spent most of his time in the slot last year and struggled, so the Titans may want to move him back outside, especially if they sign him to an extension.
