    The Titans and the agent for tight end Alge Crumpler remain in conversations about a contract extension as the free agency deadline approaches.

    Even if the two sides can’t reach a deal by Friday, however, that doesn’t mean something can’t be worked out. Agent Butch Williams on Thursday sounded optimistic.

    He talked with the Titans on Wednesday and plans to talk to the team again today.

    “These are artificial time restrictions because if a guy wants to go with a team and the team wants him, that time doesn’t really matter,’’ Williams said. “It is mutual. He respects them and they respect him, so we’ll be all right.’’

    Coach Jeff Fisher said at the NFL Combine he hopes the team retains the veteran tight end, who caught 27 passes for 222 yards in 2009. As a blocker, Crumpler was also a big part of the running game’s success as running back Chris Johnson ran for 2,006 yards.

    “Alge was a tremendous part of our run game and our passing game,’’ Fisher said. “There’s no question we’d like to give him an opportunity to finish his career with us.’’

    The Titans offered a tender to veteran Bo Scaife on Wednesday, and Fisher said he expects Jared Cook, a second-round pick last year, to play a bigger role in the offense this year.

    WTF did we use draft picks on Craig Stevens and Jared Cook if we are going to continue to roll with Scaife and Crumpler? Especially at the expense of CB depth.

    It's not like there aren't going to be good TEs available in the future, or blocking TEs that can be drafted AFTER the 3rd round!!!

    Mike Reinfeldt is an idiot.

    We have to be trying to trade Scaife or something. I don't think we keep 4 tight ends again next year.

    We're a running team, therefore, we like our TEs.

    Tradition dictates that our best recievers have been our TEs.

    I'm not knocking any of our TEs, but why keep so many when we aren't gonna even play them all.

    It would be different keeping 4 tight ends if we actually used them all. But we basically only used 2 last year even when one of them was injured. I think that keeping 3 would plenty and if one gets hurt we can sign a fa if need be.
