Titans ready to make some trades? (1 Viewer)

Weapon of Mass Instruction

Weapon of Mass Instruction

Watch my feet!
Tennessean 8/30

My, my. A new executive VP (longtime Bud buddy Steve Underwood) is moved to Nashville to oversee things and Reese is being overrulled right and left immediately. Seems Fisher and Chow wanted Collins all along but Reese held it up.

Now, there do indeed appear to be legs to the "Volek being traded" rumors. His cap is only $1mm. Now, it does appear to be true that a RB is being shopped/traded, too. That appears to be Chris Brown. I think Calico may be cut, so he could be thrown in, too.

Package deal or two deals? Who knows. Fisher did say, though, that this would not be the last roster move to bring in competition. Not sure what happens, but between trades and waiver claims I expect to see a couple of DT and OL (likely guards) brought in.

I'll keep my ears open.

That's the 1st thing I thought when I heard that Henry was named the starter. Either they were showcasing Henry or more likely looking to deal Brown due to his desire to get a new deal/get traded. I would think that Brown would have more value on the market as well. Now the question is who are the potential suitors for a RB deal? Minn (that's for you HK) due to no depth behind Taylor, Miami - same reason, Houston - two average inexperienced backs, ??

On the Volek front, not too sure who would be in the market. Maybe the 9'ers, Buffalo, Chargers (as a backup), ??

 
Looks like White will be feature quicker then what looked to be at first.. I figure after a few games of Henry struggling the talk will pick up.. Looks like White is a must tie to Henry owners..

Yes, because White has been so impressive in the preseason.

Well tell me why they would be looking to move Brown then?? Don't be one of those that can't see the hand writting on the wall..

FWIW, I do not see Brown going anywhere that he would not be utilized, at least as part of an RBBC, if not the starter.Based solely on need, here are some options:

Jets just took Barlow, so I'd guess they are out. Colts & Jags may have interest, but in the same division, so I'd be shocked to see that happen.

Houston could be interested.

How about Denver? That would be something!

As far as Minn goes, Taylor just did receive a vote of confidence....but his results have been awful and they have limited depth. I honestly thought Henry would be the guy Minnesota would land...but if they could get Brown, that would be a coup.

Green Bay is a dark horse in terms of need, but I doubt he'll go there.

I'd say the top three would be Minn, Houston & Denver.

:popcorn:

What about Philly? Aren't they looking for a RB?
 
After the contract they gave Chester, he's going to be the guy there. Also, Brown doesn't catch it well enough for Childress.

Not too sure how Brown fits their system. Buckhalter looked good in pre-season, he'll get SD/GL. Then they have Westy & Moats, as well as Mahe. All those guys can catch.
 
I heard that CLE and SD were possibilities for Volek. Don't see them for Brown, though.

I think HOU would be a possibility for BOTH, but what the H do they have that the Titans would need?

MIA has a DT glut but doesn't need a QB. Maybe Brown to work with...Brown. "What can Brown do for you?"

Who knows, maybe they'll just get DT/OL off the cuts and just get picks for Volek/Brown/Calico. Maybe Collins arm falls off and they release him prior to game 1 (to save full salary). Maybe VY starts from Game 1 with Volek gone and Collins here just to backup Vince :shock: .

This has turned into one other cluster you know what here.

Take a guess how many starters we have from the 2001 draft and on until now.

 
I would not be suprised if Denver took a chance on him. Mike does not seem happy the RB's he has right now.

 
Question is what team needs a STARTING RB because Brown is just that. He is too good for a back up role.

My guess is Houston with DD possibly being IRed

Geesh, the only thing they have that we'd want -- that they might part with -- is a pick. Though, CLE could use both guys.

wtf would Cleveland need Calico for? they just cut Rideau.

I actually had to laugh b/c I was thinking, "I'd dump Volek AND Calico for an NFL caliber guard....then I remembered that poor Cleveland has had as much bad-luck as Tennessee in their interior lineman. Tennessee's guards stink, Cleveland can't get their center situation settled. thus, my post.
 
Hmmm... BS spin coming out of Denver. BS spin coming out of Tennessee. Something stinks.

Someone's moving.

Why not package Brown and Volek off to the Chargers who are in need of support at the QB slot ... in return they get Donnie Edwards and Turner the Burner ... helps out both squads ... give Turner a starting gig, the Chargers maintain good RB depth with the addition of Brown ... works for me!

:excited:

Ain't that the truth.Anyway, they aren't parting with Turner but I can see them wanting Volek.We might get Edwards for a package. Unfortunately, OLB is something we actually DON'T need.

Lendale will smoke his way out of the league within two years. He will NEVER amount to anything and soon enough people will find out why he did not return to SCTom
 
How do know Brown is being shopped and its not Henry. I read Henry dedicated him self this year, but I did not see it on the field. Chris Brown is a better receiver and a better blocker. There is no argument there. You may have an arguement if you talk about who runs better. What substance was Henry suspended for last year?

Chris Brown is avg 4.3. Travis Henry is avg 2.5 with his longest carry of 9 yards.

 
All I know is White had a few 3rd and shorts in the last game and converted them all. The fans cheered extra loud because short-yardage situations have been :cry: over the past two years.

No matter what happens, the Titans will be :bag: again this year.

 
I suspect if either Henry or Brown is being shopped, it shows that the staff may be giving a little more credit to White than previously imagined. Niether Brown nor Henry is a "special" running back, but having better than average depth is an assett, particularly if there is going to be a young QB in there soon. If either Henry or Brown isn't on the roster, that means White is going to be getting some looks for sure.

Henry has two strikes against him, one more and he's out for a year. Henry has shown next to nothing for a couple years so I doubt he has much trade value. Brown is much more appealing IMO.
 
...exactly, Banger. I'm not sure you get rid of Brown w/ Henry so close to suspension unless you happen to think White IS a player that can be counted on already.

 
Volek wants to get traded? Where? His best shot to start this year is right where he is.

Same for Chris Brown, IMO. Man, it seems like neither one of these guys wants to compete for the job.

 
I would think that Volek could go to Oakland. They are worried about Walter's arm. Tui does not seem to be an option. I think the signing of George affirms these points.

The fact is though that they signed George. I'm surprised that they (raiders) didn't inquire with the Titans prior to signing George knowing that there were rumors that Collins was going to be signed. I agree that Volek seems like a good option.

If Brown doesn't fit Philly's system, I doubt he would fit in Minnesota's either.
 
I can tell you one thing...It's an almost certainty that Brown or Volek will not be shipped to a division opponent UNLESS the Titans feel they are getting a steal...(see the Jason Babin draft day trade. It sent Houston's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round pick to TN for the Titans late #1 who the Texans picked Babin). :yes:

Just in the interest of information:Walter had a full practice Tuesday, and expects to play Thurs. He is suffering from bursitis and tendinitis. Those are conditions, not injuries. So far no one from the Raiders have said anything about being worried. Clayton and Mort have, but they've proven over and over they have no inside stuff on the Raiders.I think you can expect George to be among the final cuts this weekend, and go home with a playbook under his arm. If Brooks and Walter went down, I say it's even money that George would start over Tui. IMO, George as he relates to Tui, you're right, I don't think the Raiders have any faith. I don't think Walter's situation had any affect on the George signing.
 
I think Cleveland is the most likely option for Volek. Frye is Young and unproven. CLE's #2 is Dorsey and it goes downhill from there...

Walter also had to have surgery for those conditions in college, iirc. This is much more serious than they are letting on.

Henry hasn't exactly been knocking people over, either..in fact, he's been a bust ever since entering the NFL, except that one 'good' year in Buffalo..

if Frye gets hurt, i may stop watching the games.(well, at least the parts where they are on offense.)that said, i'm not so sure Romeo and Phil see it that way. i think they would rather sign Testaverde as a free agent than give something up to get Volek.

"conditions" can be much more worrisome than "injuries" in a lot of cases. with an injury, you have a pretty clear timetable as to how it should heal. conditions can go on and on.

Because they think Henry + what they get for Brown > Brown :confused:
 
I can live with getting rid of Thompson, but he's not going to fecth more than a 4th rounder or depth player. If he can net us a guard or someone for the defensive front, fine with me.

I'd trade him for an 07 Tahoe with the 20" Wheels.Seriously, though, a serviceable DT or OG would be a good trade. Wondering, though, if Brown could be part of the deal since it is the Dolphins. If so, maybe more quality in return.
