2012 NFL Free Agency: Wyatt Names Some Potential Titans Targets

PrintJim Wyatt has a story up this afternoon naming some guys the Titans could potentially target when free agency starts on March 13th. As you would expect, there are none of the guys from my wishlist on the list. It is compiled of mainly second tier guys.
The first name he suggests is Robert Mathis. As I suggested on Saturday, Mathis is a guy that they should be targeting. He is not going to cost as much as a Cliff Avril or Mario Williams, and he might be just as productive for a couple of years.
The second guy he mentions is Reggie Nelson. Nelson was terrible in Jacksonville, but he played better last season in Cincinnati. He would no doubt fill a need, but Mark Barron is a better player. Book it.
The third guy he mentions is another safety from Baltimore named Haruki Nakamura. Wyatt says that his main role would be as a special teams player. They might have a need for some help there if Patrick Bailey and/or Tim Shaw sign somewhere else. Plus they can always use the depth at safety.

uuuuuuuuuuuugggggggh!
Reggie Nelson and Haruki Nakamura?!? Unless they are cheap and strictly backups/special teamers…THAT…IS…DISGUSTING. Robert Mathis has been a great pass rusher over the years (with Freeney on the other side & Peyton giving them big leads), but he’s a 245 pound DE that’s 31 years old. With all the great players that are FA’s this year and the Titans supposedly having some money they’re prepared to spend, there could not be a more disappointing trio of players to hear we are targeting.
I actually like Nakamura
I think you guys tend to forget that money is a factor in who teams sign. Nakamura played good football when healthy. Hard hitter and plays the ball well. Great special teamer. Why would you be mad at that? It’s not like he’s getting Ed Reed money.
I like Nakamura...
I like him as long as he’s only playing special teams for us, but we’re probably going to have to find 2 new starting safeties. I do not like him as our starting safety, and YES, I DO HATE THE RAVENS.
Nicks is probably a free agent from what I hear.
He supposedly appeared on a radio program today and stated he wanted a contract comparable (or greater than) Jahri’s current contract. Considering that would be bordering on 100 million dollars for the Saints to tie up in two players (guards, no less), I’m thinking he’s hitting free agency.
Structure the deal like a boss Reinfeldt. Bring that glorious man here…unless we have a legitimate chance at Wallace or Williams, then go after them instead.
I don't think Wyatt really has any freaking clue as to what is going on

As much as he tries to get you to think otherwise

Wrong Mathis. I want Evan.
I’d take Reggie Nelson as well.

Absolute No On Nelson
Mathis: Meh… Only if he’s dirt cheap.
Nelson: NO. Griffin is better. Nelson is also 29-years-old in September. Just draft somebody to play alongside Griffin. Griffin will look better when the pass rush is getting more than 28 sacks per season.
Nakamura: Whatever.
ya I get the feeling we're trying hard to build through the draft
while piecing together a strong supporting cast around our young talent. I’m ok with us not spending huge this year. There aren’t too many guys available I’d risk locking up a ton of money into.

yea same thing, different offseason.
We have money to spend, guess we’re saving up to buy Boardwalk or Park Place.

Not-spending-money + FA-not-started seems to make "zomg we never spend money" sort of premature

I think with as many holes as we have, that kind of has to be the case.
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"
