USA Today's Mike Garafolo is reporting that Chris Canty, who was released by the New York Giants last week, visited the Tennessee Titans over the weekend. This could mean absolutely nothing, but it is good to see that they at least brought him in to kick the tires.
Canty missed the beginning of the season last year after recovering from knee surgery, but he was pretty good when he came back from the surgery according to Big Blue View:
He had three sacks, five quarterback hits, four hurries, 25 tackles, 16 stops (plays causing an offensive failure) and a +6.6 Pro Football Focus rating (3rd on the Giants defense) in only 300 snaps.
I don't have access to the PFF stats, but my guess is that the +6.6 number is quite a bit higher than the number that was posted by Sen'Derrick Marks.
So while Canty would be an upgrade in the middle of the defensive line, it would still be important to get him at the right price because there are a lot of other needs that the Titans should address in free agency.
