CJ2K probably isn't going to get a ton of support from the fans for his holdout, but his fellow teammates understand why he isn't there: he gotta get paid. While I'm not a fan of anyone holding out through camp, if this goes on much longer you have to start putting more of it on the Titans. CJ has outplayed his contract for three seasons without much whining. The Titans need to step-up and make things right, and soon. By all accounts Thorchak did a great job introducing himself and getting the fans revved up yesterday. One of the immediately evident differences with camp this year is a big uptick in the number of evening practices. Kenny Britt sounds happy to be with the team instead of just waiting for his next court date. I have to admit that I'm a little torn on Britt not getting any punishment for his embarrassing offseason: while a big part of me stands by my stance that the NFL shouldn't be allowed to punish players for misconduct during the lockout, the rest of me is worried that Britt won't lean his lesson until he makes a much bigger mistake...
Nate Washington doesn't think the Titans need a veteran WR to add to the group. Derrick Mason is still on the team's radar, but you get the feeling they're looking for someone who has a little higher ceiling to bring into the mix. The Big Lead has coverage of the lovefest between Seattle and Matt Hasselbeck as they part ways. Paul K catches you up on the free agency news from around the division. Former Titan Courtney Roby has been re-signed by the Saints.
