    SUMMARY: The Titans have added their second former Falcon TE to the roster by agreeing to terms with Dwayne Blakley today. "The Titans made a nice offer," Blakley's agent said. "We talked to some other teams, but he really liked Tennessee." Blakley finished the 2003 season on the Titans’ practice squad and took part in training camp in ’04 before being released. Last season, he had seven receptions for 48 yards. The 6-4, 257 pounder had a total of 21 catches for 189 yards and one TD while with the Falcons.

    That eliminates one need in the draft

    One-year. I've not seen the numbers but it's probably the vet minimum of $720k which, if I understand correctly, only counts $435k against the cap. Maybe a small signing bonus and some incentives.

    It takes the pressure off of getting a TE early in the draft. If they have a talent drop to them, then they don't have a lot tied up in Blakley.

    Welcome back Blakely. He showed a lot in training camp/preseason, and I was upset we let him go. But didnt do much for the falcons.
    Hopefully he clicks here.

    I'll tell you why this pick-up bothers me a little.

    1) It shows that the FO is worried about Crumplers condition
    2) It shows that we really love former Titans players/affiliates


    Other than that, i'm glad we have someone better than Troupe on the squad, welcome new titan!

    CRUMPLER, SCAIFE, BLAKELEY...I like the sound of that better than SCAIFE, TROUPE, HARTSOCK

    Blakley wasn't signed because of Crumpler's knees

    We needed a 3rd TE and this allows them to mark something off the list of potential draft picks. I like this pick. We didn't need another TE that would want to be a #1 TE, but someone to provide decent back-up minutes. I like it.
