The NFL Scouting Combine has come to an end, and analysts and insiders are now sharing the gossip and informed speculation they picked up throughout the week.
The latest to share his detailed account of the rumors
swirling at the combine is NBC's fantasy expert Matthew Berry, and he dropped a couple of nuggets on the Tennessee Titans
.

Now, sometimes teams picking early will just put stuff out there to drive interest in trading up or as a smoke screen, so who knows but as it was explained to me, Tennessee has Love as the best player in this draft, regardless of position and given how many holes the team has they just might take best player available when it gets to them each round. Love would be a star for the Titans, a team that doesn't have many, and with a new stadium expected to open in 2027, star power will be needed. And given a new head coach in Robert Saleh, who, during his time in San Fran, has seen first-hand what an elite RB can do for a team, maybe Love to the Titans isn't as odd as you'd think at first blush.
Wan'Dale Robinson or Alec Pierce
?
Count the Titans among the teams looking for an impact wide receiver in free agency. Wan'Dale Robinson or Alec Pierce were two names floated to me as players they are interested in. Given that former Giants
head coach Brian Daboll is the Titans' new offensive coordinator, Robinson makes a ton of sense. It also appears that the Colts
will place the franchise tag on Pierce.

This is usually a fantasy football column, but a couple of defensive player rumors I just found interesting, starting with the Bengals
having zero interest in keeping Trey Hendrickson
. They may make some noises about keeping him for PR purposes, but there is no love lost between the two sides, and he'll be playing elsewhere next year. Also, don't be surprised if Minnesota
moves on from Jonathan Allen
, and I was told Denver
's John Franklin-Myers would be heading to Tennessee.
