Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Less Is More Edition

470eba407e1bc2a6de2ef6d67f47f057-getty-84105831mw042_baltimore_rav_medium

Tennessee_titans_30x21 This off-season's theme according to the front office: fewer roster moves, more re-signings.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Paul Kuharsky breaks down the Titans unrestricted free agents list.  The only good news there is it looks like Reynaldo Hill is probably gone.  I'm still mad we let Mookie Johnson go to the Colts while Hill still occupied a roster spot.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Free Agent Chris Carr wants to return to the Titans - and lord knows we fans would love to gave him back, especially when he's talking like this:

"I’m going to start talking to them now about [re-signing with the Titans]. I’m going to have my agent get in contact with them," Carr said. "I’ll take less money to stay here, if I feel like they respect me and want me to play more defense, and give me more of a shot to play more next year, then I definitely want to come back, because I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here."

Tennessee_titans_30x21 PFW agrees with the emerging-majority opinion: Bo Scaife is a guy we need back who will almost certainly get overpaid.  If he does leave, look for us to take a pass catching TE with the first pick because there's almost always a great TE to be had late in the first round.  There's a myriad of reasons, but it almost always seems to work that way.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Merchants and restaurant owners in downtown Nashville may be taking Saturday's loss harder than we are.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Superb commenter Rustmeister puts on a hilarious clinic in strikethrough cursing in describing the end of the Titans season.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Jim Caldwell may be more emotional than Tony Dungy?  That's not saying much: the guards at Buckingham Palace show more emotion than (sure-fire HOFer) Tony Dungy did to the outside world.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 NFL wash-out Adam Jones is being sued by two employees of his record label for non-payment.  I only brought this up so I could refer to him as an 'NFL wash-out'.

Trust me.

The pain fades and all you remember is the good….just so you can get your heart broken yet again next season. :D At least, this is my experience…

Sign Carr now on a long-term contract!

his attitude alone is worth keeping.

Go Titans!

i love a guy who puts playing over paying

but i’m still not sold on carr as a defender. if all he is asking for is the right to compete for a spot on d, my arms are open to the guy. but if he is looking for regular PT in the secondary, i’m less enthusiastic. king was a lot better at corner before he got hurt

yeah

i’d read it as an honest chance to compete i think. didn’t read the full interview though. refreshing attitude regardless.

If Scaife leaves...

…I need me some Brandon Pettigrew.

If I hit a hole-in-one on this grand slam the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

I wouldn't mind them taking a flyer

On Chase Coffman. Probably doesn’t have the “measurables”, but the guy has incredible hands.

Jermaine Gresham

is phenomenal! I would love to have him

As for Carr, isn’t it funny how the real pros/good guys with veteran attitudes seem to love playing for this team in this City for Fisher…

Yeah

I heard that sucks for Texas fans… LoL

Nah. I actually prefer it.

Bradford will be exposed. Almost all of his offensive line leaves. Sam is an incredible quarterback, but things are infinitely more difficult when you don’t have 7 seconds to pass every play…

I love the fact.......

That Pac-man is the #1 MORON not only by NFL standards, but by common sense standards. He really is the most stubborn and ignorant person to ever wear an NFL uniform. I hope he doesn’t get picked up by any team after Dallas dropped him. I guess he never learned to deal with his “ghetto” side while making substantial money. Im from Nashville and know what he did when he was here in town for the Titans. He showed promise and i was excited that he was a great addition to our team but that will never change the fact that he needs to be somewhere else. I saw him at a local high school football game in 06’ and he was driving a burnt orange Lambo. Come on’ give me a break. Im sure he leased the hell outta it. A few friends of mine said that he was still smoking marijuana and had an attitude that he was bigger and better than team he played for which ultimately cost him his entire career. FAREWELL PAC-MAN, and whatever team decides to put their integrity on the line for GOOD LUCK because YOURE GOING TO NEED IT.

Titans ARE the truth!!

Curious.

How does his release affect the picks? If at all that is.

He is truly an idiot and should never have been reinstated this last time. I can see giving him a chance, but 10? Seriously?

It doesn't

The Titans are already sending a 4th rounder back because he was suspended during the season. That was the end of the deal.
