    Where are all the Morgan haters at.... Aren't you all upset at this signing?


    I think Morgan/Orakpo fills some needs. Our defense may now be slightly better than last year, which means we have jumped to awful from terrible.

    I gotta give Morgan props . He could of easily folded and got the hell out of dodge especially after last season but he came back . Most players would want a change of scenery even if it's to another mediocre team. It's rare that a player comes back and signs with the same team that hasn't won a whole lot especially the titans. Money was a big factor but I'm sure he wants to be part of the turn around. My respect for the guy just went way up.

    Wow. Now we can get LW and a 2nd round corner and this defense can actually be legit.

    wow, can't believe the love Morgan is getting. I was hoping he would sign with another team.

    Whoa big sigh of relief this morning.

    Got up around 5 am, rubbed my eyes in the dark, turned on my iPhone 6plus, the light nearly
    blinded me ... Skimmed thru my alerts and saw we signed Morgan back; I had to do a double check! So then I sit down to compose myself and see we also got Orakpo ...

    Definitely more excited by the Morgan signing for some reason - I thought he was out the door with ATL or TB but it's great to see him back in "Titan White" lol.

    Orakpo is bigger name but comes with a lot of injuries, I'm a little skeptical but I'll remain optimistic - at least they got him onboard.

    Does this mean Mariota @ 2 now? Hmm

    I dont understand the Morgan hate. If he was a second rounder I doubt anyone would complain.

    Hopefully Orakpo is better than our recent rushers not named Morgan. It should help Morgan. He's decent in every aspect, he played better in coverage last year than I expected.

    The contract is a bit bigger than I'd like.

    still think we're going leonard williams @ #2 (unless we trade)...at our current state our D front 3 is a big question mark (minus Casey)

    I'm still leaning towards Williams to - I think that would put that defensive line over the top with some good options behind them at linebacker with Avery Williams and Orakpo.

    Now let's see them shore up those corners and continue the rehaul on defense
