M BEACH, Fla. -- Four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel's days with the Eagles are numbered. He is expected to be traded soon, likely before the April 26 draft. The Eagles talked to several teams about Samuel at this week's league meetings and the Tennessee Titans left...  

Contrary to multiple reports, we hear, Eagles CB Asante Samuel is not close to being shipped to the Titans for a conditional third-rounder. A source on the scene indicated that Tennessee is highly unlikely to part with that high of a pick, and is just as unlikely to offer Samuel, 31, the lucrative contract extension he's looking for. Following the departure of Cortland Finnegan, the Titans’ defense will be looking to replace the physicality...  

52: Tennessee Titans -- Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina -- Like former West Virginia and current Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin, Brown is all about speed. He'll need to develop as a read-and react guy, but as a moveable chess piece on passing downs, he can have an impact right away. 53: Cincinnati Bengals -- Devon Still, DT, Penn State -- The Bengals still play enough straight four-fronts to make this pick very sensible. Still is...  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Tennessee Titans need plenty of help on defense, and they started trying to fill some of their needs on the second day of the NFL draft by selecting speedy North Carolina linebacker Zach Brown and Michigan tackle Mike Martin.  

When Peyton Manning underwent his fourth neck operation shortly before the start of the 2011 campaign, the door in the AFC South swung open for one of the division’s other three teams to emerge as a serious contender. Bursting through that opening was the Texans, who grinded out a franchise-record 10 wins and their first-ever postseason berth and victory. (For what it’s worth, I think the Texans had the necessary talent and resolve to knock...  

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak and offensive line coach Bruce Matthews were Hall of Fame offensive linemen who are currently on the Titans' coaching staff. This creates very high expectations from the offensive linemen. The Titans have shown that they're eager to restructure their offensive line despite having only surrendered 24 sacks in 2011 and a combined 66 sacks from 2009 through 2011.  

The Tennessee Titans continue to add bodies into a defensive line rotation that will be significantly restructured before the 2012-13 NFL season begins in September 2012. John Glennon of The Tennessean has reported that the Titans have signed Leger Douzable to a one-year contract.  

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran defensive end Leger Douzable to bolster a position that may lose three players to free agency. The Titans announced the move on Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not released. He played the last two years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, seeing action in 31 games and making 88 tackles, one sack and nine tackles for loss.  

Titans head coach Mike Munchak was as protective of his offensive line as any position on the field in 2011. Munchak stuck with his guys, even though there were major issues on the interior, and staunchly defended their play publicly. But actions speak louder than words, as one source put it, and the fact that Tennessee brought in five free-agent centers for visits this offseason points clearly to incumbent starter Eugene Amano as the weak...  

In his first draft as lead decision maker, Titans new GM Ruston Webster wasted little time bucking conventional wisdom with the selection of former Baylor WR Kendall Wright. Tennessee, which had greater needs up front on both sides of the ball, elected to pass on a number of havoc-wreaking defensive ends, as well as the best guard in the draft, to add Wright to its already solid WR stable.  

Can you spot the mistake in ESPN's NFL draft chyron for Eddie George? The former Houston Oilers (1996) and Tennessee Titans (1997-2003) running back announced the Titans second-round pick in Friday's NFL draft but the graphics department at the network confused Houston's old team with Houston's new team (which was founded in 2002). In ESPN's defense, the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans/Houston Texans triumvirate can get confusing. I had to...
