Tennessee Titans Agree to Terms With WR Donnie Avery

PrintJim Wyatt just tweeted that the Tennessee Titans have signed WR Donnie Avery. Avery is a guy who had a lot of potential but hasn't been the same since he went down with an ACL injury last preseason.
I am glad Avery is the guy they added because he has the highest ceiling of any of the guys that have been in to workout. He is really, really fast, and there is always the chance it just hasn't been enough time since his surgery for the speed to come all the way back.
You likely won't see him on the field until after the bye week because it will take him some time to pick up the offense. He is likely the last receiver on the depth chart when he gets here.
There was no way the Titans were going to add a guy to match Kenny Britt's production, but Avery actually has some upside.

depends if they actually have his speed high on madden
but Videa games rarely calculate injuries before they play on the field

He’s a Noob for posting that kind of thing. Not a Noob on this site.
You don’t post things like that about winning, same as you don’t say “Wow! Aren’t we lucky to not be suffering from injuries like the rest of the league!”- Cue torn ACL & MCL

sorry bud I am not tracking with what you just said. I will give you some credit though since you are from Montana too. Not to many of us up here except for the ones that followed Mariani, so it is nice to see another original fan.
Ah
It’s an old Disney movie…. But anyways, there are a lot that follow the Titans because of Mariani and rep his jersey up here, but I rep a Eddie George one. Not that Mariani isn’t awesome. Where you at up here?

That's the problem with Gage...
he’d make the awesome catch and drop the ones right in his hands.
This
I love those highlight catches, BUT CONCENTRATE MAN IT’S ANNOYING WATCHING A GUY CATCH IMPOSSIBLE THROWS… then the easy ones he fails

Also, he broke his back on this play

Nice move,
hope his knee is good to go, this could be an awesome sign, in disguise. Your career is on the line Donnie, make it happen!
Also, old special teams Donnie < new wide receiver Donnie.
GO TITANS!!!
Good move
I think what management did was smart. They realized they weren’t going to find a Kenny Britt clone off the street, so they decided to pick a slot receiver and promote either Hawkins or D. Will (I think it will be Hawkins.) Smart move. Avery should get his catches and burn some nickel backs.

Pretty much very WR he have, including Britt, as lined up "in the slot".
I don’t think our field positions are very rigid in this offense

And I love the fact that they all know every WR position, but Donnie Avery is not meant to be on the outside I don’t believe….do you think?

Just depends. Cook is not "meant" to be out there either.

YES!
I really like this move. It’ll take him awhile before he gets significant playing time, but if he’s healthy, he can be a solid contributor.
Nice work Reinfeldt.

I think you said it best when you mentioned Avery's upside.
I saw him a few times with the Rams and the kid had a ton of potential. He obvisouly passed out teams physical, so maybe this guy becomes a steal. Even if he does not pan out I would much rather give the spot to a young once very promising player looking for a second chance vs. and old wahsed up never was player….Yes I am Speaking to you Gage.
Why was Grimerz and mine post deleted? There was no foul playedness. Bastards. Restricting my freedom to post.

Now that we have someone else stupid fast
I’d like to see a race between CJ and Donnie Avery.
Donnie Avery still apparently has his world class speed according to what he’s told CBSSports.com…but then again, what’s he supposed to say?
“No I can’t run. These guys were suckers for trying to sign me.”
HELLZ YEAH
If we can’t be the strongest team, WE DEFINITELY CAN BECOME THE FASTEST
