    I don't know what's going on behind the scenes but the insiders and reporters do, people like Adam Schefter make a living finding out this intel and there are reporters who stake out and watch everyone who goes inside and out of the buildings...so far there has been no noise linking us to the players you mentioned except orakpo...
    I would happily bet our paychecks we get none of those guys you mentioned because this organization has a history of signing underachievers and never going for cream of the crop players...if you can name one player in the past 5 years who was a top 5 free agent that we signed I'll give you credit

    Lets be honest, unless we signed one of the BIG NAMES on the first day, no one was going to be happy. One of the slam-dunk, can't-miss guys like Suh or Revis. That wasn't going to happen.

    Everyone talks about how they don't trust this front office to make the right decisions then complain that we aren't spending a bunch of money. Then complain when we spend money on who they think is the wrong guy.

    This was bound to miserable.

    The worst part is he was never more than average at any point in his career. I rolled my eyes when I heard that signing announced.

    And they over paid for all of those guys. Everyone was jealous of the Bucs last year...look how that worked out. Its not going to be a fix over night

    To be honest, the names ropy mentioned (besides maybe hardy) haven't really been linked to anyone. Who knows who else the Titans have contacted.

    We also need to hit a cap floor, I'd rather take a chance and overpay 1-2 solid vets than scrubs/old vets. Buccs were plan stupid last year taking big risks on potential.

    No doubt Fry. I think people were excited that he could be that "X" factor.....Man.....Was that a backfire. To think that he and Washington were chosen over Sankey initially....smh..hahaha:facepalm:

    Oh man I am tired of reading this holier than thou drivel about how nobody is going to be happy no matter what. More tired of reading the repeated line of free agency doesn't win championships.

    The Titans are currently as abysmal as they have ever been since moving to Nashville. Our roster has 5-7 known players worth starting and building around and maybe another 4 or 5 with potential. I'd like to see more than Searcy and Harry Douglas to try and improve the team. I agree with one thing Pollard said on the way out the door, it helps to have people that are used to winning and have been part of winning organizations. Even from the washed-up vet sense, at least they can show this young team what it means to be a professional. Hopefully we'll land both over-the-hill Wilfork and Harrison as I think their leadership will help. I don't feel like 7 rookies are going to be enough to see any real difference next year.

    Some people said they would rather see the Titans be at the bottom then mediocre. But at least at mediocre it's easier to lure players to come here. If we had signed McCourty we likely had a future great quality safety for half a decade or more. We need a hit or two like that to help this rebuilding along. Maybe Searcy turns into that and is lights out, but I doubt it.

    After going through a short cool off period, I'm ready to wait till the end of FA before letting myself get all worked up again. Lets let the 2nd wave come through and see who gets cut after the dust has settled.
