Tennessee Titans Notes, Quotes 2009-04-10
--The Titans finally addressed their lack of depth at the cornerback position, adding free agent DeMarcus Faggins, who agreed to a two-year contract. Faggins had spent his entire seven-year NFL career with the Houston Texans before joining Tennessee.


And while Faggins gives the Titans veteran depth behind starters Cortland Finnegan and Nick Harper, he probably should not be regarded as a long-term answer if either should go down. Look for the Titans to address the position in the draft, probably with a first or second-round pick, as added insurance.

--Free agent WR Torry Holt's visit to the Titans went well, but that doesn't mean a deal will be struck anytime soon.

"Torry was very impressed every aspect of the Titans organization," Holt's agent Kennard McGuire said. "He felt the visit was very informative and productive."

Likewise, Titans coach Jeff Fisher was impressed with Holt and how things went.

"He visited with all the coaches, and we did a physical. It's a process," Fisher said. "We're pleased that he has interest in our program. He's looking for the right fit, and I thought the visit went really well."

According to Fisher, any situation involving Holt might have to wait until after the NFL Draft on April 25-26. The receiver is still looking around, as well, and considering all his options. Thus far, his only visit has been to Jacksonville.

--The Jay Cutler saga ended with the Titans, as expected, watching the proceedings. The disgruntled quarterback was dealt by the Denver Broncos to the Chicago Bears for QB Kyle Orton and a package of picks that included two No. 1s. Why the Cutler situation is so interesting in Tennessee stems from a couple of points.

First, Cutler, a hometown hero at Vanderbilt University, was passed over in favor of Vince Young in the 2006 draft, and the thought that that situation might be reversed, no matter how costly in terms of picks, was intriguing to many Titans fans.

Also, with Young's future as a starter uncertain and 36-year-old Kerry Collins starting in the short term, the chance to land a 25-year-old established quarterback still with plenty of upside was something to ponder.

However, after re-signing Collins for two years and $15 million, plus the money invested in Young, the Titans were never going to seriously entertain added another high-priced QB to the payroll.

--RB Chris Johnson is not in Nashville as part of the Titans' offseason program. Instead, the standout running back, who ran for 1,228 yards as a rookie, is working out on his own in his hometown of Orlando, Fla.

Johnson and franchised tight end Bo Scaife, who has yet to sign his tender offer, are the only Titans players not to have made an appearance at the offseason program. Johnson is expected to be on hand when organized team activities begin in May.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "I'm not going to get into financial issues, but that's the next step. We'll just have to wait and see." -- Titans coach Jeff Fisher on whether or not the team is in negotiations yet with free agent receiver Torry Holt, who visited the team's facility last week.
