Pacman Jones doesn’t hold anything back on what he thinks is wrong with Tennessee Titans
DeAndre Hopkins details what led to trade, his sour ending with Titans
Former Tennessee Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins explained how the end of his Titans tenure almost ended his love for football.
Former Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones didn’t hold back when discussing what he thinks is wrong with the team.
“You got rid of the identity of the team down there which was the running back,” Jones said from Super Bowl radio row, promoting his podcast ‘The Pacman Jones Show.’ “I don’t understand that part. Y’all ain’t got no receivers. Y’all ain’t got a quarterback. And a sub-par defense. Titans need some help.”
Running back Derrick Henry left the Titans after the 2023 season. He rushed for 1,921 yards and 16 TDs in the regular season and added another 270 rushing yards and three TDs in the NFL playoffs.
Jones was the Titans’ first-round pick in 2005 and spent three years on the team, playing two and serving a suspension through the third. At his best, Jones was one of the league’s most dynamic players. In 2006 alone, he intercepted four passes and scored four total touchdowns between defense and special teams. But legal and disciplinary issues also defined Jones’ tenure, leading to a trade in 2008.
Jones played another 10 seasons after his time with the Titans ended.
The Titans finished the 2024 season with a 3-14 record and own the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager Ran Carthon was fired following the end of the season and replaced by former Kansas City Chiefs executive Mike Borgonzi. Coach Brian Callahan heads into Year 2 with serious questions about an offense that turned the ball over at an unacceptable rate and a roster that has questions everywhere from offensive line and receiver to the pass rush.
As Jones sees it, the Titans’ issues are fairly simple.
“I would start at the quarterback,” Jones said when asked what he’d do to fix the Titans. “I don’t think Will Levis, he’s not a guy that can carry a team I don’t think.”
When asked what he’d do to address the struggles at quarterback, Jones offered a wry answer.
“Y’all got the number one pick, don’t you?” he quipped.
