#1. Shedeur Sanders joins the Titans

Speaking of the Raiders, they and the New York Giants have been touted as the most ideal destinations for Shedeur Sanders – both being teams from world-famous markets that the son of an NFL legend would likely prefer playing in if he wants to further expand his brand.

But no, he instead goes to the Tennessee Titans to replace the highly disappointing Will Levis. While Nashville is itself a well-regarded city famous for country music, it is not as glamorous as Las Vegas and NYC.

Marketing opportunities aside, the aforementioned franchises also have monstrous targets: Brock Bowers and Malik Nabers, respectively. Highlight reels between the soon-to-be-former Colorado Buffalo and either of the two receivers will surely mean "money, money and more money."
