Between the Posts: Goodbyes Are Hard

The Tennessee Titans' biggest free agent in Alterraun Verner today made statements that further bolster conventional wisdom that he has played his last down in two-toned blue. I can't say much about it other than it is extremely disappointing to see a guy like him go. He has a ridiculous future ahead of him.

The Titans are also posturing to try and trade Chris Johnson....that is not going to happen. Nobody will take on that silly contract, and especially not when they know he can be had without relinquishing draft picks when he gets released.

The Steelers are set to release linebacker Lamar Woodley, who would make an interesting add to the Titans linebacking corps. It would certainly take another need off the board. Meanwhile Michael Bennett inked a new deal to keep him in Seattle. Another good pass rusher off the board...

In news that doesn't really affect the Titans, the New York Jets released WR Santonio Holmes.
