‘Widespread Belief’ Wan’Dale Robinson Will Join Titans

There have been multiple recent connections between Giants pending free agent wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson and the Titans in the rumor mill. There is now “widespread belief” in league circles that Robinson will agree to join the Titans when the negotiating window opens Monday, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports.

This looks like a slam dunk for the Titans, who need offensive weapons, possess the second-most cap space in the NFL ($92.69MM), and have Robinson’s former coach on their staff. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was the Giants’ head coach during the first three-plus years of Robinson’s career.

Daboll was part of the regime that spent a second-round pick on Robinson in 2022. The two worked together until the Giants fired Daboll last November.

Although Robinson is just 5-foot-8, 195 pounds, the slot target has been among the NFL’s most prolific pass catchers over the past couple of years. He combined for 185 receptions in 33 games from 2024-25. While Robinson amassed just 699 yards on a meager 7.5 per catch in 2024, he crossed 1,000 for the first time last season (1,014) and posted a career-high 11.0 YPC. He also notched a personal-best four touchdowns.

In ranking Robinson as the No. 15 free agent in this year’s class, PFR’s Sam Robinson pointed to Bills slot receiver Khalil Shakir‘s contract as a potential comp. Shakir signed a four-year, $53MM extension last March. Not only has the cap risen significantly since then, but Robinson has hauled in 71 more passes than Shakir in eight fewer games. Robinson has achieved that despite playing with far worse quarterbacks than Shakir, who has spent his career with Josh Allen.

Fitting in a pricey deal for the 25-year-old Robinson would not be a problem for the Titans. There is also a high level of motivation to surround second-year quarterback Cam Ward with more help in 2026. Tight end Chig Okonkwo, who is now a pending free agent, led Titans pass catchers with a modest 56 receptions and 560 yards last season. As a fourth-round rookie, Elic Ayomanor paced their receivers with 41 grabs and 515 yards. Calvin Ridley, the most established wideout on the roster, is a release candidate on the heels of a seven-game, 17-reception campaign.

Whether it’s Robinson or another free agent(s), adding proven receiving talent is a must for the Titans. Alec Pierce, Romeo Doubs, Jauan Jennings and Rashid Shaheed are a few other unsigned receivers who could pique their interest.
