    haha no way. The reason we didn't sign him is because he was decent as a zone corner. With LeBeau, we transitioned into a man to man defense. A defense that he was very bad at. A major reason he signed with Tampa is because they also employ the zone defense. He knows his strengths and weakness. Last time I heard, we still play a man to man. So no, he will not be signing here at all.

    I liked him when he was a Titan and wanted to resign him. Wouldn't want him now though, even if he's an upgrade. Maybe for like $3M depth, but even then I'd probably pass.

    Verner left after the 2013 season. LeBeau didn't come to TN until 2015. Verner left because he didn't feel appreciated and said so when he left.

    Verner was a playmaker for us....he deserved to be paid. He had 22pd and 5 INTs his last yr with us. He actually has more career INTs than Mccourty. He isn't a guy who can run with speed WRs, but he had great instincts.

    Good points about him. I was really upset that we let him get away, but now there's no reason to bring him back. He's not what we need now.

    can you blame him for not feeling appreciated?

    they made him battle it out with tommie campbell for two years.

    You can't hate the guy, did ok on ST as well. Coaching staff should have never pushed out those expectations on him.

    I like Verner when he was here but I say let's move on from any of the old from our darkest days.

    Being better than what we have now is no reason to bring him back, we need more fresh blood and real talent that buys into our system and culture 100%. Verner isn't that great of a talent and not sure he'd buy into the new teams vision like a someone completely fresh.

    Not interested! He sucked as a Titan. He sucked in Tampa. Guess what? He sucks!
