6 potential landing spots for Xavier Rhodes after Vikings release

Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans might need some reinforcements at cornerback this offseason thanks to a number of free agents.
No fewer than five players at the position are set to hit the free-agent market and could depart for new teams in the coming weeks. This includes standout corner Logan Ryan, who played almost every snap for the Titans in 2019 on his way to four interceptions and four forced fumbles.
Tennessee is facing the prospect of paying free agent running back Derrick Henry significant money after a sensational run towards the end of the season and during the playoffs. They also need to make a substantial investment at the quarterback position with Ryan Tannehill or a high-profile free agent.
This might leave the franchise unable to focus much financial commitment in bringing back some of their out-of-contract cornerbacks. Xavier Rhodes could be a player they would target if the price is right.
It is also a good landing spot for the player. Tennessee performed well above expectations last season and have a good young core that could get even better in 2020. Providing Rhodes reignites his career in a new environment, he would definitely be of some use to Mike Vrabel.
Much will depend on what the Titans do with their big-name free agents as to whether Rhodes becomes a viable option for them. Their secondary gave up the ninth-most passing yards in 2019 so it could do with a few tweaks to improve.
