Tennessee Titans Free Agency Grade and Review

Contributor - Drexel Perry, mvn.com/nfl-titans

Team Needs - WR, DE, G, TE, RB

Key additions - TE Alge Crumpler (Atlanta), DE Jevon Kearse (Philadelphia), G Jake Scott (Indianapolis), WR Justin McCareins (N.Y. Jets)

Key Losses - G Jacob Bell (St. Louis), DE Antwan Odom (Cincinnati), DE Travis LaBoy (Arizona)

Key Free Agents Retained - DT Albert Haynesworth (Franchised) WR Justin Gage (Re-Signed)

Free Agency Notes - Heading into the offseason, securing the services of a bona fide playmaker was #1 on the Titans agenda. Picking up Alge Crumpler was a step in the right direction, as he will provide the team with its best TE since the days of Frank Wycheck.

Re-signing Gage was a good move and the hope is for former Titan Justin McCareins to flourish in Mike Heimerdinger's offense once more.

The departures of Odom, LaBoy and Bell forced the Titans to make moves to replace them. "The Freak" Jevon Kearse was brought back into the fold to help replace the losses at the DE position. Instead of overpaying to retain the services of Jacob Bell, the Titans decided to partake in their annual raiding of the Indianapolis Colts' roster by signing Jake Scott to start at guard.

Grade - B

Review of Grade - Scott was a good signing and it was a coup to pick up veterans Crumpler and Kearse at bargain prices. The only disappointment thus far is the failure to bring in an elite talent at WR, but the team will probably address this position in the draft. The draft is also where the team will look to pick up some additional depth on the defensive line.
