Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Terrell Owens Still Makes For Good Headlines Edition
David Climer makes a desperate grab for readers by putting 38 year-old, washed-up possession receiver who seems more interested in being in front of the camera than in the huddle in his headline.
Scouts Inc. looks at the team needs of the entire AFC South, and Paul K correctly states that they're underestimating our CBs behind Cortland Finnegan.
On MCM Radio this past Monday I stated that Michael Griffin's agent would probably have Griff's signature on a franchise tender before the ink was dry on it, and the potential free agent safety said essentially the same thing on 102.5 The Game. Nobody in the league is going to give Griffin top 5 money, and most likely not even a lucrative long-term deal, so he'd be crazy to turn down that big of a payday:
"Would I be happy?" Griffin said to 102.5 The Game's First Quarter, co-hosted by TitanInsider's Darren McFarland and former Titans tackle Brad Hopkins. "Talking to my mother and coming from a great background, one of the best things she ever said was, ‘That's a lot more money than you ever played for in any season you ever played. You can't really be upset because you played for $3 million last year and you'd play for 6.2 million this year.'"
PFT looks at the possibility of the Titans adding Robert Mathis and Reggie Nelson. My thoughts are that Mathis is too small for Gray, most likely, but Nelson could make sense if the Titans don't think they'll go after Barron in the draft.
Florida running back Chris Rainey is out to try and break Chris Johnson's 40-yard dash record (now shared with Rondel Melendez) of 4.29.
Peter King notes that the final draft order won't be set until Friday morning, when officials from the Panthers, Dolphins, Chiefs and Seahawks will meet to watch the coin tosses that will settle their tie-breaker.

Franchising Griffin would be AS bad as Scaife
but damn, if they really want to keep Griffin, sign him to an average 3/4 yr deal.

That may be the most blatant page view-grabbing article ever (Climer's).
Seriously now, he seems like a smart guy when I’ve heard him on the radio, that one sounds like it came from an editor. “Hey, you’re the ‘controversial’ writer, we need something to generate some page hits. Why don’t you write something saying the Titans should go after T.O.?” “Uh…that’s just stupid.” “Who’s in charge here?…” “Fine…”

I always assumed that either he or Biddle WAS the editor.
Else… how to explain his continued employment?

Please no TO
And I agree with rothbard on Griffin. Just sign him to a regular deal.

That is the perfect picture of Hands.
Even his facial expression is just great. That needs to become a new MCM meme of some sort.

by TitanFanTeze28 on Feb 22, 2012 11:28 AM CST reply actions
Not to sound bias. But i think we will see Less DWill this year
Before Britt went down, It was Britt Nate and Hawk won the slot position. Like i said, Hawk is a better slot option. DWill is built like a #1 or #2. So with Britt back, i think we see him less. Not that he’s not good.

I think Nelson would be wise even if they may go after Barron
Unless you’ve got the first pick you can’t go into the draft with a spot completely empty- Barron could go before 20 and we’d be in terrible trouble. Nelson and Babs won’t command huge money. If we pick up both and then draft Barron, that’s 3 starting caliber-ish safeties, likely making a good deal less combined than griffin and hope last year- i don’t think that’s unreasonable- plus odd-man-out perhaps plays nickel back. Given the complete absence of safeties currently signed and the very limited number of starting caliber people on the FA market or in the draft this year- I’d take that happily.
I kinda liked last year where it was draft then FA, but the truth is in all other years every team should be drafting players to add to spots where you already have a starting caliber player present
To be honest...
Mark Barron would give us the ball hawking safety that we are looking for…

I actually really like the idea of bringing in Nelson.
Why not, right? These are the types of players we should target. A good amount of reward possible with very little risk.

I just hope he would keep the form he had in Cincy.
And not be turrible like he was in Jacksonville. Remember the last time we grabbed a safety from the Bengals?…

Even though Griffin singing wouldn't completely terrible
I’d still rather us go the Babs/Nelson route, maybe draft one, and then see if RoJo / Afalava ever amount to anything. Spend the money up front (hint Williams hint) instead. Cliche, but upgraded rush really does make everyone look better on the backend.

I think it was the tip of the finger, just rubbed some dirt on it and went back to play
that was a completely different era back then. Have broken bones? tough shit, rub some dirt on it and keep on playing

T.O.'s not so bad...
Not saying I want him on the team but he gets a harsh rap for a lot of misunderstandings(many of them his fault)…but overall hes prob mentally in the best shape of his NFL career lol he wants it like he wanted it when it was him and Rice…I guess being broke will do that to you

Also...
i think that it was kinda in the plan all season to let Finny walk…did anyone else notice how many times Jason McCourty was locked up against the other teams number 1 guy …i know Finny is good in the slot but #1 corners get paid to lock down #1 receivers…seems like they wanted to see if McCourty could handle it since he did pretty well Finny got his walking papers…
