The Titans came out of the draft with no major remaining need. They could sift through veteran receivers, defensive linemen and backup offensive linemen, but they likely wouldn't add any until they know what they have in training camp. Among their 10 undrafted rookie signings, defensive tackle Barry Booker from Virginia Tech may be the most promising.

FRANCHISE PLAYER
DT Albert Haynesworth (tendered at $7.25M).

TRANSITION PLAYER
None.

--LB Rich Scanlon played hard, but upgrading the reserve linebackers will be an offseason project in Tennessee.

I was just looking at our schedule for the upcoming year, and I have to say that I feel pretty good about it. We play almost all of our toughest games at home. I see us being somewhere between 10-6 and 12-4, depending on how we are with injuries and whatnot.

Week one- We've go the Jaguars to start out with again, this time in our house. ...(more)

(POLL)

I was reading other post on the Titans message board and it got me thinking. What are our needs on D. Some say its DE others say it is DB. Like everyone says we need a big play wideout on O but what do we need on D. if anything.

please explain why you think we need this position

I saw a report that Mike Williams has dropped his weight from 270 to 256 recently. I liked him a lot in & coming out of college. I still have hope that he can be a very good WR, but he is going to have to get his head out of butt and get with the program. He has all the tools to be great. If he can get it together, he will h ...(more)
