Tennessee Titans Interested in Alge Crumpler

by Jimmy on Feb 19, 2008 7:10 PM CST in News Comment 6 comments

Jim Wyatt reports that the Titans have spoken to Alge Crumpler's agent, and plan to meet with him at the combine this week. The article also says that there are 10 other teams who have expressed interest in the tight end. Crumpler's agent, James Williams, says Tennesse is a definite possibility:

"I have heard from the Titans, and Tennessee is very attractive to him," Williams said. "It is a well run organization, and Alge could come in and help them get to the next level if the situation is right.''

We should learn more about this later in the week. It is really good news that they plan on talking at the combine. The Titans have a ton of cap space, so if they are really serious about Crumpler they should be able to sign him.

Titans

We sure as heck better be "interested".

Cap space

We've got it. Our number was listed at 79.4 million--the lowest in the league. Compare that to other teams looking at Crumpler:

Carolina- 120.9
Tampa Bay- 97.2
Indy- 125.8
Arizona- 109.5

The real number is 116 mil (the projected cap).

pft has the numbers:

The Colts

Take Indy off the board. We just franchised Dallas Clark. I'd have been mad to see him go, frankly. I doubt we were ever serious about Crumpler. Polian had verbally committed to Clark previously. Both would be too expensive for us.

Good luck with Crumpler. Your defense is scary good already. I'm picturing an offense with an excellent running QB to account for as well as a top notch receiving TE as an outlet. It would make you very tough to gameplan against. Add better health, and watch out!

Yup

That's the next step. I think Crumpler would be a good fit.

Shockey would be nice,too. I doubt his personality would override Vince's. Might be a little dicey at times, though.

take him, please!

i was really disappointed in the titans last offseason (not bringing in some more talent on offense), and i think it ended up costing us a game or two. with so much cap space again, we need to remediate our biggest weakness, getting him would go a long way imo.
good to hear they are talking.
