@paulderousselle
and GM Ran Carthon ensure the Titans will have their premier player for the long haul.
A.J. Brown: This wasn't my fault. I wanted to stay, but the deal they offered was a low offer. The deal they offered wasn't even $20 million a year.
The
#Titans
deal was said to be $16m/yr w/ incentives up to $20m. Brown said he would have signed at $22m/.
FSU CB Asante Samuel Jr. says he's the same size as Packers CB Jaire Alexander who he categorized as a dominant outside CB. "Size doesn't matter. I'm a dog."
Sheesh, the
#Eagles
have a nice 4 X 100 team. I'd have Marquise Goodwin leadoff and hand to John Hightower, then Jalen Reagor, and have DeSean Jackson run the anchor.
I just saw the replay of the holding call on Josh Kalu. Travis Kelce ran right into him and ripped his helmet off. Not sure exactly what you want Kalu to do in that situation.
Just wanted to say that I truly appreciate everyone that followed along for my fifth season on the
#Titans
beat. I have met some great fans over the years. I feel really blessed to have this job. Here's to many more seasons in Nashville. 🤝🏿
The
#Titans
signing Derrick Henry to a long term deal sends the right message to the rest of the team. Do things the right way, keep a team mindset, work hard, produce and you'll be rewarded.
"A player like Derrick Henry fits into any offense. If he's open to a return, that fits for us. I'm never going to reject good players. There's no offense that would say I wouldn't went Derrick Henry."

I know there are fans that are celebrating Jon Robinson losing his job. BUT this man truly cared about the team. He did a tremendous job of redirecting the

back into NFL relevance. I'll always appreciate and respect how he was with the media. First class dude right there.

T.O. used the famous words, “That’s my quarterback” when he defended Tony Romo.

WR A.J. Brown took the a picture is worth a thousand words approach to support Marcus Mariota.

Derrick Henry on Dalvin Cook: Me and Dalvin talk a lot throughout the season encouraging each other. I reached out to him to send my condolences. Things are bigger than football. My prayers go out to his family.

One thing you can say about .
@TaylorLewan77
is he's a real one. Here he is rocking the
#Titans
No. 69 jersey to show respect for superfan Matt Neely who recently passed away.
A.J. Brown said the person that helped him get through the tough time last year the most was Elijah Moore. "He's more than family. That's my brother. I love him."

#Jets
The
#Titans
CB trio now includes L'Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie on the outside and Roger McCreary as the nickel with Dennard Wilson as the DC and Chris Harris as the secondary coach. Tennessee's pass defense 📈.
Tajae Sharpe plays the hype man role before Derrick Henry comes to the podium. Henry also offers his take on Earl Thomas who was rather talkative during the week leading up to the
#Titans
game.
The interesting thing about Julio Jones, A.J. Brown and Josh Reynolds is the fact that all of them have played both in the slot and outside. Now the
#Titans
can move all of them around the formation to create match-up problems or move them away from top CBs.
Jeffery Simmons deal with the
#Titans
is a four-year extension worth $94 million with $66 million guaranteed. Simmons agent Paul DeRousselle get over 70% in guarantees including a $24 million signing bonus.
Dean Pees faced Greg Roman in the Super Bowl a few yrs back. Here’s one way they defended the zone read back then. The rematch is coming this weekend in

Will Levis message to
#Titans
fans to come correct next time Malik Willis takes the field. Said it left a sour taste in the players mouths when they heard the boos for Willis.
Say what you may about Todd Downing. But the
#Titans
finished in the Top 10 in 3rd down & red zone & tops in goal to go this season. They were w/out Derrick Henry for 9 games, Julio Jones for 7 & A.J. Brown 6 games. I call that rising above the hurdles more than struggling.
Calvin Ridley said he is excited about joining a team that is trying to be good. But he admitted he really wanted to stay with the Jaguars. But the money with the
#Titans
was good so he came.

have fired offensive coordinator Todd Downing, offensive line coach Keith Carter, secondary coach Anthony Midget and offensive skills assistant Erik Frazier.
#Titans
Rodger Saffold said Ryan Tannehill got up and said, "And one" after getting blasted in the chest on his 18-yd TD pass to Adam Humphries. That was Tannehill's 4th TD pass on the day which tied a career-high.
This is an example of why so many of the
#Titans
players would run through a wall for Mike Vrabel. He asks a lot from them but never hesitates to credit the players for the team's success while taking responsibility for when they come up short.
The toughest dude ever. Ben Jones, absolutely spent after the game today. Mike Vrabel knows his Center played through some stuff to finish the game.
Great video here by our guy Zach Tucker.

Robert Woods was asked about A.J. Brown’s “no fun” comments. Woods said it’s a place where you have to know your job and be serious about winning. He said Sunday’s are their day to have fun.
#Titans
Jon Robinson said trading A.J. Brown was a tough decision that came together over the last 18 hours and really heated up this afternoon. They felt they had gotten to the point where a deal was going to be really hard to agree upon.

Confirmed.
#Titans
didn't have any new positives. They'll have a practice similar to their typical Saturday practice today in preparation for tomorrow's game.
#Titans
were pumped up after a big win over the Dolphins. Here's Mike Vrabel shaking hands with Will Levis them DeAndre Hopkins outside the locker room.
Mike Vrabel said Derrick Henry is doing some work today, and they've discussed opening the window for him to return. The decision will likely come mid-week.
#Titans
The Titans approached Kevin Byard about a pay cut, but the Pro Bowl safety does not believe his play warrants a decrease in salary.
Byard has wanted to play for one organization and ultimately retire as a Titan, but the two sides are at a crossroads, per sources.
Mike Vrabel says he told Adrian Peterson to figure out what to do, play hard, learn the playbook, take care of the football and don't do dumb stuff to hurt the team.
#Titans
Went from closing marketing deals and setting up youth football camps for NFL players to being an NFL reporter. It's been a long journey. People told me I'd never do it. But God.......
Will Levis said he's excited to get his first action as a pro. Notice his expression when he was asked about possibly rotating series with Malik Willis.
