A rather uneventful evening in Titans land heated up quickly, when this report came out.
Report: Titans Could Trade Veteran WR Nate Washington Before Deadline http://t.co/w7nS86bxdH

The news first broke from Ian Rappoport, and it comes on the eve of the trade deadline for NFL clubs. So far there are a supposed 5 teams interested in acquiring the savvy veteran. Washington has earned the respect of Titans fans since joining the team from Pittsburgh in 2009. He has been a consistent producer and a leader, especially when this team has had a dearth of them in the years since he was signed by the franchise. While he's not his young self at this point, he's still a very valuable, and arguably, under utilized guy.
Personally, I am not surprised he has attracted attention. With the Titans going nowhere fast, there may be value for Tennessee in letting a guy go who they may not plan to re-sign. That said, I would be sad to see Nate go. He's been a very solid player for a long time, and would be missed on the field in Nashville, as well as on the sidelines.
