Supposedly they are interested in Correll Buckhalter as well, hopefully that means Chris Henry will be cut.

Wasn't Canty a DE in their 3-4? Like you said though if the money is right he's still worth a look.

Chris Henry is a beast. Stop hating.

Im seeing him as a DE online but i swear everything i heard this morning has he played DT there this year, im probably wrong though as they had Tank Johnson who i know was a DT.








anyway the titans just resigned Vinny Fuller so the backup S and Nickelback spots are taken. I guess this means Chris Carr is gone and we need a KR now.



The Titans have agreed to terms on a three-year deal with nickelback Vincent Fuller, according to sources familiar with the situation.

Fuller has been the team's nickel back the past two seasons.

Fuller has appeared in 50 career games with the Titans.

In his career he has 93 tackles, a sack and two interceptions.

His best season came in 2007 when he returned an interception for a touchdown in back-to-back games at New Orleans and against Atlanta.

Fuller was a fourth round (108th overall) draft pick by the Titans in the 2005 NFL Draft.

The Titans have got to do something about the quarterback situation. Let's face it *see avatar title*, and now we are stuck with him for the time being. If Collins can't be brought back for a reasonable price, this team is in a shitload of trouble. I'm not sure what to make of Chris Simms. It's been so long since he's seen meaningful playing time.

I do know that I hate playing with a lefty in Madden, so if that can be avoided...great.

 

[Herm]

so Brandon Jones to SF?
They were thinking of bringing in Nate Washington, rotoworld is reporting Detroit is close to finalizing a deal with him, for whatever thats worth

Source: Collins priced out of range for Titans

With Albert Haynesworth headed to the Washington Redskins, it now appears likely that the other big-name free agent for the Tennessee Titans will be playing elsewhere in 2009 as well. The Nashville City Paper reports that Kerry Collins has priced himself out of a new contract with the team, as the veteran quarterback is believed to be seeking a deal in the neighborhood of $8 million per season, and the team does not feel confident making such a pact.

With Collins out of the picture, the Titans will be engaging Chris Simms more heavily, and could enter the offseason with Simms and former No. 3 overall pick Vince Young in a duel for the role of starting quarterback. The free agent Simms has also been linked to the Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears in recent weeks.

Source: Titans increase efforts to re-sign Simms

With the Tennessee Titans and Kerry Collins far apart as the free agency period opens Friday, club officials apparently are ramping up efforts to re-sign their other free agent quarterback, Chris Simms, according to league sources.

Collins is believed to be seeking a deal in excess of $8 million per season, and the Titans are believed not to be interested in such a sum at the current time.

Simms, 28, came to the Titans after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the end of the preseason. Simms had missed much of the previous two seasons after suffering a spleen injury early in the 2006 season.

Simms, a former University of Texas star and son of New York Giants great Phil Simms, spent most of last season as Tennessee's third-string quarterback behind Collins and Vince Young. He also spent a great deal of the season working on improving and regaining his strength after being weakened in the wake of having his spleen removed.

As Simms heads to the open market, there have been rumors of other teams having interest in him, including the Houston Texans, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys.

I'm really not against having Kerry back next season but like I said before, he's asking for too much right now. 8 mill per season, really Kerry? I'm sure that when he sees there's no interest from other teams that he'll lower it, but by how much?

 

[Herm]

funny thing is when Kurt Warner said he wanted 16M per year, Kerry said
"im at least worth 10, if Kurt's worth 16" lol Maybe Minnesota or Detroit pays Kerry 8-10 Mil per year. I really dont see any other team willing to do so.

I like Jones, so good luck to him wherever he lands.

Washington doesn't do anything for me. If they sign him or not, I really wouldn't care. I just hope they don't think he's the answer at WR.

agreed, i dont think hes anything better than a 3rd WR. We have 5 of those already on the team

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Dont y'all think its time to move forward with Vince Young? I mean.. 2 more years of starting for Kerry might sour Vince enough that he dont even wanna hang around any longer. Mental break-downs fucking up your shit FTW!

Source: The Titans have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with quarterback Kerry Collins.

The deal is for two years and is worth $15 million with $8.5 million guaranteed, according to sources familiar with the situation.

“Kerry did a great job for us last year stepping back into the starting role,” said Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt. “He has veteran leadership, tons of game experience and we expect him to continue to play at a high level for us.”

In 2008, Collins capped his third season with the Titans by being named to his second career Pro Bowl. He started the final 15 games of the season, leading the Titans to 12 victories as a starter, which tied Steve McNair’s franchise record (2000) and also matched Collins’ personal high (2000).

With 242 completions, 2,676 yards, 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions on 415 attempts, his passer rating of 80.2 was the third-highest of his career (2000, 2002). Collins ranks 14th in NFL history and second among active players (Peyton Manning) with 37,393 career passing yards. He ranks 11th all-time with 3,160 career completions.

I guess some people including myself were wrong about it being out of the Titans range. Even though I still think they overpaid. It doesn't matter too much though, they have the money. Glad that's out of the way. Now where's that WR?

No he showed in his game last year when he played vs Indy's 2nd unit that he is still disinterested and terrible at reading defenses.

I really wish some other team would take Young and give him a fresh start, its just not going to work out in nashville most likely.

Not really surprised that TN went after Collins im just surprised he decided to comeback.

They would be good pickups. Can we have all 3? :dontknow:

great news

VY goes into deeper state of depression.

I don't even think he's looking in. He's somewhere in the corner with his headphones on.

Seems they don't believe in Vince right now and I don't think he believes in himself either. On top of his poor play this is hurting him a lot more imo.

Titans signed DT Jovan Haye 4 years 16 mil
WR Nate Washington 5 years 26 mil only 9 mil guaranteed


I love these two mid level signings . Haye beasted for Tampa two years ago, im not sure how he did last year. Nate and Justin Gage were among league leaders in yards per catch so it appears both of our starting WRs will be deep threats, Lavelle at slot and im at least semi satisfied with the WRs. Nate seemed to be a good downfield blocker so he'll fit in for sure.

NASHVILLE, TN, March 2, 2009 – The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with WR Nate Washington and DT Jovan Haye. Washington joins the Titans after spending four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Haye spent the last two-plus seasons in Tampa Bay.

“We targeted both of these guys as difference makers for us,” said Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt. “Nate (Washington) has shown the ability to stretch the field and be a big-play receiver. He will complement passing game and brings big game experience as well. Jovan (Haye) fits our defensive system with an aggressive one-gap approach; both our personnel folks and coaches were excited about his abilities in our system.”

Washington (6-1, 185) appeared in 49 games with seven starts during his four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and collected 104 career receptions for 1,705 yards with 12 touchdowns. The veteran wide receiver has the ability to stretch the field having led the Steelers in yards per catch in two of the last three seasons. His most successful campaign came last year when he recorded career-highs with 40 catches and 631 receiving yards, while scoring three touchdowns. In 2007, Washington saw action in all 16 contests with four starts and grabbed 29 receptions for 450 yards with a career-best five touchdown catches. The former undrafted free agent out of Tiffin University enjoyed a breakout season in 2006 when he led the AFC with a 17.8-yard per reception average and caught 35 passes for 624 yards with four touchdowns.

Washington holds eight individual school records at Division II Tiffin University, including all-time marks for receptions (212), receiving yards (4,214) and touchdown catches (47). A native of Toledo, Ohio, he was first-team All City, first-team All District and honorable mention All State at Scott High School.

Former Buccaneers defensive tackle Jovan Haye registered a career-high six sacks in 2007.
Haye, a veteran of four NFL seasons, spent the majority of the past three years with Tampa Bay after beginning his career with the Carolina Panthers. The 6-foot-2, 285-pound defender has recorded 30 starts in 42 career games, and his statistics include 118 tackles, six sacks, one forced fumble and four fumble recoveries. During his final season with the Buccaneers, he played in 15 games (14 starts) for the NFL’s ninth-ranked defense and contributed 40 tackles and one pass defensed. In 2007, he achieved career highs with 16 starts, 97 tackles and six sacks.

Haye played in two games as a rookie with the Panthers in 2005. Then, prior to the 2006 season, he was released by Carolina and signed by the Cleveland Browns. After appearing on the Browns’ 53-man roster for the first week of the season, he was released and added to their practice squad. The Buccaneers signed him off the Browns’ practice squad on Oct. 25, 2006.

During his three-year career at Vanderbilt (2002-04), Haye started 34 of 35 games and totaled 149 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 17 tackles for loss and one interception. He was named second-team All-SEC as a sophomore after sharing the conference lead with 8.5 sacks. Forgoing his senior season, he declared for the 2005 NFL Draft and became a sixth-round pick by the Panthers (189th overall).

Woo They signed some players lol.

Both pickups are OK with me. Anyone not named McCariens at WR is a plus. Hope Hawkins gets his head on straight this season too.
