So much for the Titans going after former Colt defensive back Marlin Jackson.
I wrote in this space at the start of free agency I thought he'd be a good fit for the Titans. But the team never showed much interest, and on Wednesday he agreed to a two-year deal with theEagles.
Jackson's injury history surely was a concern for teams that didn't make a play for him his past two seasons in Indianapolis were cut short because of ACL injuries that occured in non-contact situations.
I was told the Titans viewed him more as a nickelback than a cornerback. And the Titans are in good shape at the nickel with Vincent Fuller playing inside. Indications out of Philadelphia are Jackson will be converted to safety.

In an interview with Sirius NFL Radio, former Saints defensive end Charles Grant named the Titans as one of the teams on his "wish list.''
He also named the Falcons and Panthers.
Grant was released by the Saints earlier this month. He was a first round pick in 2002, and has 47 sacks over the last 8 seasons, although he's recovering from triceps surgery.
While Grant has his eyes on the Titans,the team hasn't shown interest so far in free agency.
"I haven't heard anything from them yet,'' agent Bill Johnson said of the Titans. "But I would certainly agree it would be a great fit.''
Grant is a former college teammate of linebacker Will Witherspoon, who was signed on Tuesday by the Titans. The two playedat Georgia.
"Teams are very well he is out thereand available,'' Johnson said. "He'd love to be in the South and I think Tennessee would be a great spot for him.''
