More Tennessee Titans players set to be free agency as team management continues re-signing – NFL News
As many as 15 players of the Tennessee Titans are set become free agency next month as the team’s management continues with its drive of bringing back some of them to their active roster by the deadline March 13, 2012.
Titans have so far managed to re-sign three players off the free agency under new terms of their deals, respectively.
There are 15 more players to go free agency by the deadline. The team is likely to retain more players from the group, leaving still many of them to become available for hiring by any of other sides around the National Football League (NFL).
As of the latest their wide receiver, Lavelle Hawkins, has agreed to new terms of a multi-year contract with the team and is expected to join the squad anytime in the near future.
His held-over comes after the team announced to have retained a couple of more players last week, which brings the total of players signed off free agency to three.
The team has not hinted at other names who hold the potential of re-joining the side some time before start of the regular season, which begins in September this year (2012).
Titans is one amongst few teams to be with so many players off their active roster and are now relying on their financial potential to create depth in their squad with their resigning.
These new signings are expected to boost their squad and performance next season. The team has performed comparatively well in the 2011 National Football League (NFL) finishing at the lost chance of playing second round.
It has added to the confidence of the player and the team’s management wants to build on to their promising future by strengthening their squad at a number of positions.
Titans coach, Mike Munchak, has been pleased with the team’s performance in the 2011 run, which they finished with the record of nine wins and seven losses (9-7) and has backed the re-signing of some key players to their roster.
An apparent focus is on their offence, led by their star quarterback, Matt Hasselbeck and backed by the emerging player, Jake Locker. Both of them have impressed the coach in their respective appearances for the side during past season.
The coach expects a better performance by the team next season and all the preparations are aimed in the same hopes and perspective.
He has backing of the team owner and managers. Almost all of them have praised their coach for the successful past season’s run despite that the team, at the end, lost to their luck in the chance of reaching to playoff round.
An unexpected development in the teams’ positions on the league’s points table took away the chance of playing the second round for Titans while Cincinnati Bengals came out of the blue to qualify for it.
