Tennessee Titans Release Quinn Johnson

Just another LSU player that couldn't hack it in the NFL. I kid. The Titans have released fullback Quinn Johnson to make room on the roster for fullback Ahmard Hall. It was pretty obvious this was the move the Titans were going to make because there was just no way they were going to carry two fullbacks on the roster.
They never have disclosed what pick they gave up to get Johnson before the season started, but it was more than likely a 7th rounder somewhere down the line.
We talked about this a little bit on MCM Radio, but I still think this really sucks for Quinn Johnson- if he was on track to make the Green Bay roster. He gets shipped to Tennessee just to play for a month and then get released. Then again, maybe the Packers are planning to re-sign him and were just renting him to the Titans for a month.
Quinn actually had a nice stay here with 3 catches for 30 yards.
[UPDATE]- Jim Wyatt just tweeted this:
Johnson did a good job for Titans in 4 games. And for those wondering he was free. Trade was for a cond. pick - if he played in 5 games.

Trade cost nothing per Kuharsky
Quinn Johnson wound up costing #Titans nothing. Trade was for a conditional 7th-round pick. Condition was he played in 5 games.

My guess is Reinfeldt's connection in GB helped
They knew they were getting rid of him so we snatched him up knowing we’d cut him when Hall came back. Smart move

Whew, I thought it was a pick regardless.
Good move in hindsight, wasn’t great at run blocking but I will always remember him for converting the 4th down against the Ravens.

Cool
Ahmard Hall > Quinn Johnson always.
I sure do love Quinn Johnson’s catch on 4th and 1 against the Ravens, though. About the only thing I will remember of him…
GO TITANS!!!

The Titans go for their first 4-1 start since 2009 and their first win at Pittsburgh since 2003. "

2009 was the year we went 0-6. Nice.

And, didn't we beat Pittsburgh in 2008?

Yes, but that game was in Nashville.
First win AT Pittsburgh.

Reinfeldt at work again
He is a pretty smart guy…
At least potential suitors...
…got 4 games worth of regular season games of tape of him to watch. …And can see that he has value as a receiver.

I hope they don't watch too much film
Otherwise they will see how terrible he was at run blocking.
To me it look like a leprechaun to me!

Was he on the roster prior to week 1?
In other words, is his contract guaranteed?

I'm curious too.. how does this affect how we pay him?

I feel bad for Quinn
He was pretty much a scapegoat for Ahmard Hall. Hopefully Quinn makes another roster.

Well Reinfeldt did a nice job with this one as well.
As soon as I saw the headline I thought “Did we waste a seventh on this guy?” Turns out Reinfeldt had another trick up his sleeve.

I mean even if it was just a 7th, would you be that mad?
Yeah he wasn’t an amazing blocker, but he did have that HUGE play against the Ravens to seal the win. And how often do 7th-round picks actually amount to much? Guys like Cortland are few and far between.
Go Titans! Go Magic!

We seem to find gold in the 7th round...
I wouldn’t want to miss out on that.

so this nickname is somewhat linked to the player...
but I’ve seen a few others bouncing around here that I just don’t get. Care to make a list?
The one that jumps to mind that I can’t matchup is “Cocktail”… ???

a 7th round pick that likely won't make the roster next year

rothbard, you are really set on Mariani not making the roster next year
He does return punts as well and he does have value as the 4th / 5th receiver. Do you really think there will be 53 other guys who are better than him on the Titans next year? Really?

I think a capable backup lineman is more valuable than a great return specialist unless he’s Devin Hester.

We haven't had a good returner since Carr left
I don’t see them releasing him based just on that. Atleast he catches the ball….remember the jets game? you wanna go through that again?
by danomite on Oct 8, 2011 5:27 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
unless he can move up the wr depth chart
yes, I see his spot in jeopardy. It will be easier I guess since no way Hawkins is resigned :p

I'm not entirely sure why people think Quinn Johnson did well...
…because he didn’t. He did a horrendous job lead-blocking. He had that nice reception to seal the game vs. Baltimore but beyond that I’m hella glad that Sarge is back.
I think we all are
Go Titans! Go Magic!

Hall will help CJ
Hall will be in the huddle smacking him in the helmet saying, “You follow ME. Whatever hole I choose, that’s what you go through. End of story.”

Even so
I think CJ has some mutual respect for Hall if Hall says, “Hey…see how Graham opened that hole for you? Run through it!”

I agree. TO is a hard worker and good, but between the torn ACL and the way he has exited from every team...
no thank you…he’s a cancer in the locker room, demands too much attention and just ends up causing problems. Moss has nothing left. I hope this talk just ends soon!
I’ll only feel bad for Quinn if…
… the Packers do not resign him soon.
If not them, then someone else. But I have the feeling he becomes a Packer again soon…

Another player????
As an LSU student, that kind of makes me upset. Quinn has been pretty decent in the NFL. And don’t forget some successful LSU players like Dwayne Bowe, Kyle Williams, Ryan Clark, Alan Faneca, Devery Henderson, Randall Gay, Laron Landry, Kevin Mawae, Y.A. Tittle, Billy Cannon, Corey Webster, and Patrick Peterson.
But I agree that Quinn was pretty decent with us. Sure, he was no Ahmard Hall, but he didn’t hurt this team.

Don't worry.
He’s just being a hater because he’s a dirty Alabama fan. ;)

Hard to feel bad for a guy who made that much money in a month
I dont know how much it was, but I’m sure its more than most of us make in a 4 week span.
I hope he gets picked up & all, just dont feel bad for him.
