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.

Total Titans/The Patriot Act Q&A

In this week's Q&A exchange, I corresponded with Brent of MVN's The Patriot Act.

Naturally, we spent some time chatting about "The Golden Boy" a.k.a. Tom Brady, the Titans' miserable 0-5 start and the Vince Young/Kerry Collins QB conundrum. We also touched on our early impressions of each team's 2009 draft class.

Our interesting and hopefully entertaining exchange of questions and answers...after the jump.

Rod Hood to the rescue? Titans sign veteran CB

In desperate need of depth in a porous secondary that's already facing life without Nick Harper, Vincent Fuller and possibly (once again) Cortland Finnegan, the Tennessee Titans signed veteran CB Roderick Hood earlier today.

Hood is a seven-year vet who once snagged an impressive 5 interceptions for 196 yards and 2 scores during the 2007 season.

Titans' decline reflected in fantasy football too

Please pardon our mess while the site is undergoing maintenance.

The decline of the Titans' defense, which was ranked second in points allowed last season, is sad. After five games this year, they're 29th in the league, ahead of only the Bucs, Rams and Lions.

Their decline is also reflected in fantasy football. In my one league, they were dumped after four games and nobody picked them up.

It's not only the Tennessee defense that's no longer appreciated in fantasy football. LenDale White and Rob Bironas have commanded value for several years but both are currently free agents in my league. Kerry Collins, Bo Scaife and Alge Crumpler are also free agents.

Receivers Nate Washington, Justin Gage and Kenny Britt have usually been on the bench on those occasions when they're included on someone's weekly roster.
