Chris Johnson and LenDale White have big ideas for the Titans
Super Bowl week is always a fun time and you never know who will show up on radio row.
On Friday, former Tennessee Titans running back tandem Chris Johnson and LenDale White reunited at the Super Bowl to promote their Smash & Dash podcast.
In a conversation with Jim Wyatt, the two dove into many topics, including their thoughts on what the Titans should do this offseason and with the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
From #SuperBowl: Smash & Dash @thereal_lendale and @ChrisJohnson28 have love for the @Titans — and solutions.
In New Orleans, they discuss their friendship, their podcast, the NFL Draft, free agency thoughts and more.

'We said on our show: With the first pick … We want Travis Hunter,' White said. 'No disrespect to Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward, but he's a generational talent. Obviously, he plays corner, but I don't think we give him enough credit for what he does on the offensive side of the football.'
This isn't the first time someone has mentioned Hunter being a potential match for the Titans. In fact, according to many of the draft experts, he may be the only clear generational talent in this class and that is something the Titans have openly expressed they are looking for.
Both Johnson and White believe the new front office can turn things around and have high hopes that things can happen quickly. Of course, they also have some interesting ideas on how to make it happen.
Whether it was picking up quarterback Aaron Rodgers or trading for Myles Garrett, they were committed to taking Hunter with that selection. While Rodgers and Garrett may be on the Smash & Dash wish list, they may not fit with what the front office has in mind this offseason.
Like everyone else, these two former Titans are ready for the offseason to start rolling along.
Next stop is the NFL Combine.

Bears dubbed likely worst-to-first team in 2025
The Chicago Bears have been one of the biggest offseason winners as they've improved their team across the board, starting with the hiring of Ben Johnson as head coach. The Bears already have a young, rising star in quarterback Caleb Williams, and they've prioritized his development with the addition of Johnson, as well as the overhauling of the entire interior offensive line and some new weapons added to the mix. Chicago also added defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo, along with a potential impact draft class. Advertisement But the question remains: Is this finally the year where the NFL's offseason champions finally see the product translate on the field during the regular season? ESPN's Aaron Schatz ranked the NFL's most likely worst-to-first teams for the 2025 season. And not only did the Bears make the list, but they were second only to the San Francisco 49ers. The Bears finished 22nd in FPI last season, but they're seen as above-average entering the 2025 season. That's because Caleb Williams should improve in his second year under center, and the Bears added a lot of talent on the offensive line to give him better protection. There's also a lot of optimism about new coach Ben Johnson, but it's important to remember that teams with new coaches and coordinators tend to take a small step back in the first season. We may not notice this because new coaching staffs are usually brought in after particularly bad seasons, making a slight improvement a simple regression toward the mean. The biggest issue holding the Bears back this season is that they have the second-hardest schedule in the NFL, per my DVOA rankings (more on the hardest schedule later). All three other NFC North teams (Vikings, Lions and Packers) made the postseason in 2024, and only Minnesota is expected to decline in 2025. We've seen this film before. The Bears have an impactful offseason with high-flying expectations only the crap the bed when the season begins. But this year feels different with Johnson's arrival, and his impact is already being felt by the players inside the locker room. Sure, the Bears have the second-most difficult schedule in the NFL. Yes, they play in a tough NFC North division. But they also have the leader and the roster talent to make waves. And if Johnson can unlock Williams early in Year 1, the sky's the limit.

Colts announce Jim Irsay succession plan for late owner's three daughters
The Colts have three new owners. The NFL franchise announced the official transition of ownership to the late Jim Irsay's three daughters on Monday. The triumvirate of Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson will all have leadership roles for the team, which continued the Irsay family's 50-plus year ownership. Advertisement From Left to right: Kalen Jackson, Casey Foyt, Carlie Irsay-Gordon holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Colts Isray-Gordon, 44, will assume the mantle of CEO and principal owner, while Foyt will act as executive vice president and Jackson will serve as chief brand officer and president of the Colts Foundation. 'When you talk football with her, she gets it,' coach Shane Steichen said of Irsay-Gordon, per the Indy Star. 'She goes over the defensive stuff, the offensive stuff, she's been involved since I've been here. From day one, very hands-on, and she's been tremendous. I think she's going to do a phenomenal job.' Advertisement All three have been with the team for a while: Foyt joined the Colts in 2007, Isray-Gordon in 2008, and Jackson in 2010. They previously served as Colts vice chair/owner since 2012, with their new roles 'pursuant to longstanding plans set forth by Jim Irsay,' per the team. 'Being around Carlie and Kalen so much, the passion they have for this town, this city and the generosity, doing everything they can to help those players and this team be successful, is awesome,' Steichen said. Former Colts Owner Jim Irsay. Robert Scheer/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK The move ensures the Colts remain one of the few NFL franchises owned by a single family. Advertisement Jim Irsay died in late May at the age of 65. His father, Robert Irsay, acquired the Baltimore Colts in a franchise trade in 1972, giving up his ownership of the Los Angeles Rams. Twelve years later, Robert Irsay decided to relocate the franchise to its current home in Indianapolis. Jim Irsay took control of the franchise in 1997 after his father's passing, with the team winning 10 division championships, two AFC Championships, and its fourth Super Bowl in 2007.

Report: C.J. Gardner-Johnson will participate in Texans' mandatory minicamp
Texans defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson reported to the team facility Monday ahead of Tuesday's start of a two-day mandatory minicamp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports. Gardner-Johnson, who the Eagles traded to the Texans this offseason, skipped the team's voluntary offseason workouts to train on his own with his personal trainer. Advertisement 'I've really been like to myself," Gardner-Johnson told Wilson. "The week I was there, it was very, very closer than places I've been before. Because this is a brand-new organization, trying to be the first team to put a bull on the ring. I had to step back. I'm too much sometimes. I think coming off a Super Bowl, it's a little too much for guys who feel like they're at the top of their profession right now because of who they are. That's respectable. So, we had to step back and then start to humble up, because now I'm at the bottom of the mountain with a team that's never been to the top. So, I can't bring the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. I can't do that. It's like an avalanche. I don't want to cause a cluster---.' Gardner-Johnson, 27, led the league in interceptions in 2022 with six and has 18 in his six-year career. He spent three seasons in New Orleans and was with the Eagles in 2022 and 2024 after a one-year stint in Detroit in 2023 that didn't go well. The trade from the Eagles took him by surprise. "I feel highly disrespected, but it's a business," Gardner-Johnson said. "'Never was an All-Pro or Pro Bowl! Never!' [I] led the league in interceptions. What more do you want? Advertisement "People say, 'He's a hazard. He's this. He's that.' I never been no hazard, bro. They got no real issues on me. That black ball ain't going to work on me, because I got me a ring. I got me one. I got three more championships in me. I'm probably going to win the next three. I'm going to get me another Super Bowl this year. Just watch." The Texans have never made the AFC Championship Game, but they won the AFC South and a playoff game each of the past two seasons.
