oochymp 2,393 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Titans are on verge of reaching agreement in principle on a contract with Buffalo Bills guard Andy Levitre and San Francisco 49ers tight end Delanie Walker, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Levitre and Walker would fill the void left by retiring guard Steve Hutchinson and tight end Jared Cook, who is likely to sign elsewhere. Source: ESPN talk about making a quick splash, if we landed these two combined with bringing in George Wilson I'd have to call that a successful free agency Edited March 14, 2013 by oochymp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oochymp 2,393 Posted March 12, 2013 amazing how quickly things change right now, the article linked above now says the following: The Tennessee Titans reached agreements in principle on contracts with Buffalo Bills guardAndy Levitre and San Francisco 49ers tight end Delanie Walker, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Levitre agreed to a five-year, $39 million deal that makes him one of the league's five highest-paid guards. Walker agreed to a four-year conract.

oochymp 2,393 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) the Tennessean is reporting Levitre's deal to be six years and $46.8 million, same amount per year ($7.8M) but one more year (Link) I guess at some point we'll find out which one is right Edited March 12, 2013 by oochymp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blotsfan 2,112 Posted March 12, 2013 That's a ton for a guard. Not happy to lose him, especially since it seems like the bills didn't even try to get him, but he isn't worth that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted March 12, 2013 @JasonLaCanfora Levitre's deal with TEN, 6yrs $46.8M. Whopping $13M in 2013, $19.5M o er 1st 2 yrs of deal With all the cap space we have this year, it's an extremely intelligent move. We're also on the verge of getting Sammie Lee Hill. @jwyattsports The #Titans on the verge of landing their 3rd free agent -- former #Lions DL Sammie Lee Hill.

56AceInDaPlace 110 Posted March 12, 2013 With all the cap space we have this year, it's an extremely intelligent move. We're also on the verge of getting Sammie Lee Hill. Lee Hill would be a nice big body to have on the dline. Casey/Martin with Klug in the rotation is a nice sight to think of. Get Hill, we have our power Dt, and Casey/Martin the pass rushers. I wonder if we will look at Osi or a vet pass rusher next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted March 13, 2013 ^ Doubt we sign anyone like Osi. We have our starting DEs, probably not looking to spend a lot of money on that position. Just need to get some depth. @glennonsports Stat nugget re new #Titans LG Andy Levitre: Bills ran 49 times over LG last season for an avg. of 6.43 yards, top figure in NFL.

oochymp 2,393 Posted March 13, 2013 With all the cap space we have this year, it's an extremely intelligent move. I would say brilliant with the young players we'll need to lock down during the later years of that contract Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted March 13, 2013 CJ Spiller is good enough to inflate any numbers. Not saying Levitre is bad, just that he may be overpaid. I'm looking forward to seeing Chris Johnson still have trouble breaking 3 YPC despite much improved blocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted March 13, 2013 I decided I didn't want to make a new thread, but we also signed Shonn Green, Sammie Lee Hill, and Moise Fokou, Fokou should give us a great piece for depth at LB, Hill sounds like he'll be a nice big body in the middle, which we need, and Green should be a great compliment to CJ, he wasn't much as a lead back in NY but I read he was something like 23 of 26 getting a first down from 3d or 4th and 3 or less, I couldn't ask for much more out of the first two days of free agency Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oochymp 2,393 Posted March 14, 2013 Brandon Gibson is visiting us Friday as well. I'm definitely not a fan of bringing in a WR knowing that Washington is the guy on the chopping block, there's absolutely no reason not to keep Washington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56AceInDaPlace 110 Posted March 14, 2013 I'm definitely not a fan of bringing in a WR knowing that Washington is the guy on the chopping block, there's absolutely no reason not to keep Washington Hell i doubt he even leaves NY. So im not worried about him coming here. Also, we are targeting DE Matt Shaughnessy. Hes a good run stopper so im in for it. If we do get him, hopefully that means we go BPA in the draft.

.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Don't be shocked if Warmack is the pick at #10. Munchak wants a tough, physical team. Adding Warmack to the line only emphasizes that even further on top of our signings the past 2 days. Plus, a line of Roos-Levitre-Velasco-Warmack-Stewart is orgasmic. We seem to be switching back to smashmouth football, given we've said we want to give Locker more short to intermediate throws, and we've brought in a 2nd RB to help CJ. Very reminiscent of the late 90s offense when Steve McNair was still struggling to develop as a passer, like Locker is now. Edited March 14, 2013 by .AirMcNair.

Very reminiscent of the late 90s offense when Steve McNair was still struggling to develop as a passer, like Locker is now. I'm almost expecting us to take a guard, whether it's Warmack or Cooper (if Warmack is gone or it seems some people are starting to put Cooper ahead of Warmack, not sure what the Titans FO thinks) and our oline will definitely be a lot better (though that's admittedly not saying a lot) I'm definitely liking all of the additions we've made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CampinWithaMissingPerson 2,025 Posted March 15, 2013 Y'all overpaid, but Levitre is a good guard. Like Razor said, might of been helped out by Jackson and Spiller with those stats for running behind him but regardless he's still a good guard. Y'all better not draft Warmack tho...

ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted March 15, 2013 Titans are sure putting together a nice-offseason. Out of every team so far...I like what the Titans have done the best. Especially offensively, and if they do draft Warmack...I think CJ goes off this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oochymp 2,393 Posted March 15, 2013 GM Ruston Webster said Thursday evening that the Titans still had between $5 million and $7 million in salary-cap cushion. So far they've signed six free agents, re-signed one of their own free agents (Darius Reynaud) and tendered restricted free agent center Fernando Velasco. Those expenditures for guard Andy Levitre, defensive tackle Sammie Lee Hill, tight endDelanie Walker, running back Shonn Greene, safety George Wilson, linebacker Moise Fokou, Reynaud and Velasco amount to $18,822,999. That factors in $1 million for Reynaud whose numbers I don't have. Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean said his one-year deal is for around $1 million. Tennessee got a bit of savings from cutting safety Jordan Babineaux. That saved them $1.8 million against the 2013 cap. [uPDATE: And I forgot Steve Hutchinson's retirement, which saved the team $3.75 million, a total that's more than I'd previously reported.] On Feb. 21, the numbers I had access to said the Titans had $18.021 million in cap room, and that already included Wilson. My math, which has proved unreliable several times today, says they should have about $6.448 million in room left right now. Source: Tennessee Titans have spent $18,822,999 cap dollars - ESPN assuming those numbers are right, any more signings at this point will need cuts to go with them because we'll probably need most of that $6.4M to sign draft picks and I think you generally want to go into the season with a little space in case you need to pick someone up mid-season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56AceInDaPlace 110 Posted March 15, 2013 Very very solid player. Gonna suck that we spend all this time developing him, watch him fail at OLB.. Move him inside and he has all this success and now he is going to be gone. Yeah hes solid. Would be the final depth peice for our Lb core. McCarthy is always hurt and it would be nice to have a backup player whos capable of starting for half a season. Also i hope we release Amano. Hed give us some more cap room. His big contract he signed was LoL worthy. Cut his ass and get Jones in Tennessee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
