Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Justin Gage Turns Down The Titans... Wait, What?!?!?? Edition

As we predicted the Titans reached out to Justin Gage in an effort to sign him, but as nobody predicted Gage turned the Titans down (apparently over money). That is simply stunning. Frankly I think it could be better for us if the Titans take a shot on someone who is out there and hungry, rather than a guy who seems to have his value to the NFL way out of whack, and probably wouldn't be here for the right reasons.
The scribes a Football Outsiders released the updated DVOA rankings, and it's an uplifting juxtaposition to the depressing Chris Johnson factoids from yesterday. The Titans are 8th in offense and 1st in defense in the NFL. At least that's a good sign for the defense, who shouldn't just tank with Britt's injury. As long as the offense can sustain a few drives (note to Palmer: that does NOT mean calling run, run, checkdown pass) and keep the defense rested, maybe they'll smooth over the rough spots that Britt's absence will bring up.
The Titans worked out a bevy of free agent WRs yesterday, including David Clowney, Mardy Gilyard, Johnnie Lee Higgins, Tiquan Underwood and Buster Davis.
About 1 in 4 QBs in the NFL are on track to break or approach Dan Marino's single-season yardage record.
Nate Washington is the subject of a whole heap of praise from Pro Football Weekly, and they managed to score a quick interview with the wide receiver on what has changed for him this season:
"Totally different focus this year," he said. "With the new coaching staff coming in and the new organizational look that we have, I think a lot of things have changed. And with that being said, I had a lot of different things about my game that I wanted to change."
David Climer dives into the Titans' WR Curse. No need to bring your tinfoil hat for this one, as the curse is now a certifiable science fact.
The Tennessean. The Titans. 5 things.

Stupid, stupid move by Gage.
Not that I don’t think he would’ve added much, but the leverage was entirely with the team in this situation and the veteran minimum is still more than what he is currently making.

Yep...no clue what the tard is thinking
Though I have to say I am glad he chose not to return to us. Id rather fail with our young unproven WR’s than with a washed up worthless WR like him.

Let's face it, our "young unproven WRs" are not on this by accident.
They can all run routes and catch the the ball, or they wouldn’t be here. I agree with you, give them a shot. As long as our O-Line can give Matty some time, he’ll get the ball to them. So I’m against bringing in any old free agent veterans. That, and I just watched Moneyball last night…WOW…what a great movie!!

How can you overestimate your value when your current value is nothing?
My vote goes to Mardy Gilyard or Donnie Avery. Avery looked solid before the injury, and Gilyard simply because I think he can fit nicely in the slot, now that we have to push DWill or Hawkins outside.

i agree on avery
none of these guys are very appealing to me, so might as well take a chance on speed.

So hopefully won’t be on the field much at all. But give me the formerly fast guy of the options above.

I too agree on Avery, and for some reason Johnny Lee Higgins peaks my interest
I think he did fairly good for the raiders.

None of these guys are gonna get much playing time though.
I like the idea of Avery though.

I don't see any particular receiver coming in here and making a difference.
Its the guys already here that will have to. Especially Cook, Williams, and Hawkins. Cook has been invisible and the other two have lacked consistency. We need more out of all of them to succeed.

hasn't been the case early in games
and we had Britt for most of that. I just fear that he’ll take Hasselbeck’s foot off the gas without Britt out there.

I don't expect them to change much of the gameplan because Britt is gone

Maybe Gage demanded to wear 12 again? And Thorchak threw his hammer down " Nonsense 12 belongs to the people now"!
No deal…Gage hung up the phone.

This isn't exactly the right forum to ask this.
But do all these ads slow the website down for anyone else?
It’s infuriating.

I think the Bears or Titans are still paying him…I mean that’s the only answer I can think of. Or he’s just ready to retire? If I was in his shoes, I’d be grateful to get to play again.
I like Avery better anyways.
