“Give me the ball” In Titans gear!!!!!
The Titans confirmed with me late this afternoon that Keyshawn Johnson will meet with team officials Friday. I say get it done and get it done ASAP.
Here is why I say get it done:
Johnson is still an above average possession receiver. He caught 70 passes last year with Carolina. Titans WR’s returning this season totaled 45 receptions in 2006.
Johnson would help develop those returning WR’s who haven’t had a veteran mentor of Johnson’s status.
Vince Young needs a veteran “go to” guy.
He’s good TV on and off the field (selfish TV reason).
Now, there is one BIG challenge. The 34 year old Johnson says he is not in a “rental mode”. He wants commitment. What he means is he wants at least a 2-year deal. Furthermore, he says he’s not playing for $2.5 million. The Titans will have to pony up at least $5 million for 2 years. Is he worth that. I think so.
What do you think?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
