This report has now been denied by ESPN, McCareins' agent and the Titans. I repeat: Justin McCariens is not a Titan. The post, however, will be left-up for sheer comedic value.
Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable:
Reliable wide receiver Justin McCareins... has re-signed with the Tennessee Titans.
McCareins signed a one-year contract for $730,000, precluding him from testing the free-agent market when it begins next Friday.
Since when did reliable become a synonym for horrible? McCariens probably knocked 5-10% off of our 3rd down completion percentage on his own. He better not make the roster at the end of training camp.

It is a good thing we locked him up
before he hit the market. Someone would have given him a lot of money…wait…nope…he is terrible. Good thing we are letting Albert go so we can keep McCareins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow.
But, because there appears to be no signing bonus, it shouldn’t count against the cap if we decide to cut him at the end of training camp, correct?

Hopefully
They will at least move Jones and Hawk above him. The only thing he is any good for is run blocking, and putting butter on my popcorn at the movies. I just wish he would wash his hands when he was done.

I don’t think it is, but these are:
abhorrent, abominable, appalling, awful, beastly, cruel, detestable, disagreeable, disgusting, dreadful, eerie, execrable, fairy, fearful, frightful, ghastly, grim, grisly, gruesome, heinous, hideous, horrendous, horrid, loathsome, lousy, lurid, mean, nasty, obnoxious, offensive, repellent, repulsive, revolting, scandalous, scary, shameful, shocking, sickie, terrible, terrifying, ungodly, unholy, unkind
I like unholy. As in “Justin McCareins’ play against the Texans was unholy.”

Reinfeldt = failure?
The list of bad decisions is growing…
Drafting Chris Henry in the second round
Signing a washed-up Alge Crumpler
Signing (and now re-signing) Justin McCairens
Getting schooled in negotiations with Haynesworth’s agent last year and practically guaranteeing his departure
Dumping Roydell Williams like a piece of garbage when he deserved some team loyalty
Signing Mike Williams after he had already proven (repeatedly) to be a bust
Hitting the draft lottery jackpot with Chris Johnson does not erase these fuckups. Reinfeldt is a complete tool.
I don't know if you can hold Roydell against him
Did he catch on anywhere else?
Bulluck. B-U-L-L-U-C-K. At least spell his name right....and hate Music City Miracles!
Yeah, I just checked
and Roydell is still out of the NFL—so those injury problems must have had something behind them.

IMHO
Roydell deserved a year on IR. He was our best receiver two years ago. But fair enough, it might have been more complicated than that.
I do agree that he stood out in 07.
I was definitely shocked when they cut him. It does surprise me that they are sticking with McSuckins and they wouldn’t take a flyer on Roydell.

There's been some good moves too
Not overpaying last year for Laboy and Odom, who we clearly demonstrably did not need.
Getting a good returner finally and moving us from bottom of league towards the top there.
I’m not sure how much the draft stuff drops on the GM one way or the other. Contract stuff, re-signings, FA signing yeah, but I’m not sure how much Renfeldt should get credit or egg either way for draft decisions…
Are you sure?
Laboy had a solid season in Arizona. He outplayed Kearse (on a team with a crap D).
We also had the excess cap room to afford him. Kearse will retire soon, but Laboy should have a few good years in him. I don’t think that would have been “overpaying”.
As for draft stuff. Scouts report to the GM. He manages the entire information gathering process and is ultimately responsible for the decision. Obviously Fisher has a say, but MR is accountable.
Carr move was a good one. I’ll accept that.
Contra argument:
• Homerun pick on Crazy Legs
• Homerun pick on Michael Griffin
• Great early returns on Jason Jones
• Awesomely affordable extensions on young cornerstones like Finnegan, Bironas, D. Stewart and M. Roos
• Williams didn’t cost anything and was Norm’s pet project (whom Reese hired, btw)
Where I was raised 2 + 2 = 3rd and 6.
Griffin
I love CJ and Griff. No complaints there. At the same time, I expect 1st rounders to be great players. Anything less is disappointing.
Stewart and Roos got paid… Of course they could be viewed as “affordable”, because the Titans had so much unused money. They got big bucks though.
Bironas? 12 million for a kicker like him is market value. That’s an easy one, no?
Finnegan extension was savvy, because had they not done it, Finnegan would be much more expensive now.
Reinfeldt has indeed made some good moves, but he has made some really dumb ones too. 2007 draft was horrible; only players that have contributed so far are Ford and Griff. You need to hit on more than 2 players for success.
i think we got bironas at an awesome rate...
He would have gone to the pro bowl again if we put him in a few more clutch situations
by Michaeltastic on Feb 21, 2009 2:36 AM CST up reply actions
The value of the franchise tag for kickers in 2009 is a salary of US$2.48 million.
Bironas will earn 3 million per year, which makes him what, one of the top 3 highest paid kickers in football?
Too bad “clutch” Bironas went 1 for 2 in our playoff game. Another 3 points would have seen us in OT.
yeah...
but thats 1 out of how many times he’s come through

ask del greco
what missing kicks in big games against the ravens will get you. i still have faith in rob, but he better not make it a habit.

I guess
This just means he gets a shot in camp, not that they aren’t going to give him any competition. Still, finding this little gem a day or two after coming to terms with the fact that Albert is going to be walking is hard to take.
Yeah
it’s false - here’s the link
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3921594&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines
what kind of even halfway decent receiver
accepts less than 3/4 of a mil for only 1 year with out even testing the open market?? even mccareins knows how sorry he is.

They couldn't offer Haynesworth more than 4 for 36 because they were saving for this

hah
I knew it was just a poorly timed April fools joke! thank god!
epic fail
sigh, oh tennesse, first you throw the playoff loss at us, now this? the only reason people know him is because he can’t catch for air and his route running is imlicably bad. please, dont make us wait any longer, draft a big time, bust free WR and get 1, just 1, super bowl ring for poor old man kerry collins and the boys back home.

oh and for the record...
they should have used that money to overpay travis laboy.
that would’ve been the best line in the NFL no two ways about it.

LaBoy is also one concussion away from being done
Titans Blogger at Music City Miracles even though gramsey hates it.
Didn't he finish the Super Bowl on the sideline?
That guy got his bell rung more than anybody.
Bulluck. B-U-L-L-U-C-K. At least spell his name right....and hate Music City Miracles!
I agree.
He had a good year last year, much better than I thought he was going to have, but he isn’t a franchise player at all. In any given year, he’s easily replaced by a decent 2nd or 3rd round pick.
Honestly, I doubt he would’ve seen the field much last season. Seriously, who would he have bumped?

i'm not saying laboy isn't good
and i’m sure he would be very valuable to a lot of teams with weak d-lines. the titans however, can churn out a travis laboy anytime they feel like it. washburn is just that good.
