Titans Reach Agreement with G Scott

Such as ??????

 

Oh wait, the overreacting should be coming to an end soon. That smilie will no longer be needed )

 

On just about every free agency website I can find, Scott was rated equal to or better than Bell.

I liked Bell, but to get a player just as good who is 1-year younger for $1m less a season (and presumable less guaranteed money) is a good move whichever way you slice it.

Out of all the players we lost, Odom is the only one I was really disappointed to see go. But Odom did not deserve to be the highest paid defensive player on our team. If we go through Free Agency and the draft without addressing the D-line any more I will be concerned. But there is no reason to think that will be the case.

Also, the contention that we are signing "under-the-radar" scrubs is far from the truth. All 3 players we have signed to this point were full-time starters for their clubs last year (barring injury).

 

When the Titans are under 1million of cap going into this season I will agree with you. But I don't think that will happen. I think we will have more than 1 million left in cap going into the season, easy. So do you really think that had we re-signed Bell instead of signing Scott we wouldn't be able to sign Albert, Roos, or Stewart longterm?

Could be, and then this would make more sense. Now, I certainly hope Scott becomes the better player of the two.

I've never said that, so I'm guessing this wasn't directed at me.

I've always felt that we needed to add two WRs this offseason, one in FA and one in the draft. I've always prefered Bryant Johnson, and I don't advocate spending Javon Walker $$$ for a FA.

What can someone do but give his opinion? I'm looking at MR over his two seasons here so far. Last year, I praised him for being conservative, based on the fact I believed we would lock up our players longterm and have more of an idea what our needs were based on the 2007 season. Now it's the 2008 offseason so I'm ready to see some moves to get this team to the next level.

So far Crumpler is the only real addition.

Kearse and Scott are only replacement deals.

 

I fully expect your #1 reciever to Limas Sweed, i just dont see how Fisher will pass up on this guy. A Texas alum, great size, possibly great speed, he will be good, IMO, and worth the 1st round risk. But i am glad we didnt just jump on the first WR's, although Berrian would of been great if he would of just made the visit here, i fully expect him to regret going to the Vikings. Crumpler, if he can get back to what he was before 2 years ago, will be the steal of free agency...and Kearse, well your banking on if he can get back to atleast half of the form he was before he left.

 

Report: Titans raid Colts, add guard Scott to O-line

The Tennessean, citing unnamed sources, reported Monday that the Titans have agreed to a four-year deal with guard Jake Scott, who played the past four seasons for the Indianapolis Colts. ...more

 

This was a great pickup by Tennessee

 

Ok i see you still got people here that seriosly believe that a rookie is coming in to BSP and be the number 1 wideout on the team :grrhee: !! I just don't see it happening, unless we get a wideout via free agency or a trade we are looking just like we did last year. The only diference is that we have a tight end that can catch a ball now and get open..Limas Sweed c'mon he is just a unproven rookie, i wonder how long it will take him to get used to the nfl playing level and toughness.
