Chance Warmack sat out the entire 2019 season, but the veteran guard hopes to play in 2020, as Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports (Twitter link). Warmack has recently hired a new agent, Ron Slavin, and has several free agent visits lined up once team facilities reopen.
The Titans selected Warmack with the 10th-overall pick of the 2013 draft, and he was a full-time starter throughout his first three years in the league. Unfortunately, a hand injury limited him to just two games in 2016, and he had to settle for a modest one-year pact from the Eagles in March 2017.
But Philadelphia liked what it saw from the Alabama product in training camp and the preseason that year, and they extended him through 2018 before the 2017 regular season got underway. But Warmack appeared in only nine games in 2018, and almost all of his limited snaps came on special teams. The Eagles had hoped to trade him prior to the 2018 deadline, but they could not find any takers.
Still, Warmack was a competent starter during his early tenure with the Titans, and between that and his first-round pedigree, it’s not surprising that he has generated some interest. After all, if Alex Boone, who is older and who has been out of the league longer is getting some looks, it stands to reason that Warmack would as well.
Warmack won’t turn 29 until September.
Come to NE he can replace Thuney as a cheep replacement for a season or two
