While maintaining a poker face publicly, the Tennessee Titans’ actions have spoken volumes—particularly their decision to cancel the Shedeur Sanders workout in Colorado.
These strategic moves haven’t gone unnoticed by those with inside access.
NFL insider Dianna Russini recently shared revealing insights about the Tennessee Titans’ apparent commitment to their top pick.
If any team wants to steal that pick away, Russini suggests it’ll take a historic offer to even get the Titans to consider moving off it.
“I haven’t found anyone in football right now that has said to me, ‘Oh, be careful, they may be just doing all this to see if New York will come up and make some historic trade to get up there.’ And I think that’s what it would take. If it would ever get to that point, it would have to be something we’ve almost never seen before,” Russini explained.
It’s full steam ahead of the Titans with the No. 1 pick.

Her assessment paints a clear picture: the Titans seem locked in on Cam Ward and would require an extraordinary offer to change course.
This puts the New York Giants in a challenging position. While armed with eight draft picks and an acknowledged need for quarterback talent, GM Joe Schoen faces a critical decision about how aggressively to pursue Ward.
The Giants have positioned themselves with some breathing room after signing both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency.
These veteran acquisitions give them flexibility—they can make a bold move if the price is right, but they’re not cornered into desperation.
With three Day 2 picks, New York has multiple pathways to finding quarterback talent without mortgaging their future.
Trading the top overall pick remains relatively rare in NFL draft history, though not unprecedented.
