Titans Free Agents Include Bullock and Mawae

It would be sad to see Keith Bullock in any uniform but a Tennesse Titans one. Bullock freakish upright walking frog like features made him stand out on the field as well as the stat sheet, frequently leading the team in tackles.

Mr. Monday Night, seemed to have a nose for the ball or big play when the Titans needed it the most. He was the heart and soul of the defense and if he leaves he will be missed.

I'm confident he will find himself back in Tennessee though. One advantage of being a small market team is that you don't receive a lot of publicity, in other words no one knows who Keith Bullock is. Bullock will test free agency and probably be offered a modest salary. The increasingly popular 3-4 defense might also increase the chances a team sees some value. But the Titans will take their chances, most likely matching the highest bidder if it's within their budget.

Kevin Mawae is also on the free agent list. It's also hard to imagine anyone offering big money to a 39 year old Center. You have to remember the nuances of the Quarterback and Center snap. With only 1 year probably left for Mawae, I would expect Mawae to either return to the Titans or retire.

Last on the list is Alge Crumpler who underperformed since becoming a Titan. Acknowleding a few highlight games, I'll remember Alge for his fumble in the Baltimore playoff game. With Bo Scaife being tendered and promising rookie Jared Cook entering his 2nd year, it's hard to imagine Alge back with the Titans next year unless he signs a small deal.
