Austin Hooper had a sneaky productive season for the Titans. It wasn’t anything close to his Pro Bowl years in Atlanta, but Hooper routinely came up big in the most clutch situations for this offense.
The veteran tight end was considered the starter for most the year, but if he were to return, he would likely need to accept a No. 2 role going forward. If the former Pro Bowler still has his eyes set on being a primary tight end, then this might not be the spot for him any longer.
Tennessee already has a budding star in Chigoziem Okonkwo on their roster, so keeping Hooper will have to come at a much cheaper discount than he’s playing for now.
Depending on how his free agent market shakes out, the Stanford product should be welcomed back with open arms as long as his number remains reasonable for an aging No. 2 tight end.
Hooper finished the year with 41 catches, 444 yards, and two touchdowns.
