    The Oakland Raiders are cleaning house. New GM Reggie McKenzie has dumped head coach Hue Jackson, cut CB Stanford Routt, and may also be looking to release FS Michael Huff, DT Tommy Kelly, DT John Henderson, and CB Chris Johnson, all players the Titans may be interested in. Injury prone Darren McFadden may also be another player available.

    Oakland always has talent, but never puts all the pieces together to win enough games. These are all good players, and if they become available, would you guys want the Titans to kick the tires on each of them or no?

    I'd look at all except John Henderson, he may just be too old and done. I'd also look at Michael Bush. Huff would be a wash if Griffin leaves, or a nice pair actually.

    I still think we really need to re-sign Finny, he's the heart and soul of this defense, we have no other leader.

    I'd love it if McFadden was cut and the Titans were able to pick him up. I guess i'll have to play Madden to see that happen

    Darren McFadden is maybe the most talented RB around, he just can't stay healthy.

    And yea Henderson is old, but I can't forget his days in Jacksonville, he was a monster.

    Bring in Chris Johnson just to screw with Mike Keith's play-by-play.

    When you factor price into the equation, I'd much rather have Bush than McFadden. We already have enough money tied up into the RB position. Signing McFadden (if he's even available would be moronic. Unless we plan to totally cut ties with CJ, which won't happen this year.

    Bush would be the ideal complement to CJ anyway. He's the guy I've always dreamed of having paired with CJ. But he won't necessarily be cheap either. The smart move is to stay away from any big name RB free agents as long as "History Deal" is on our roster.

    I do think we should look at both corners though. Not too crazy about Huff. And I'm definitely not interested in Henderson. I don't see how we benefit from a stopgap has-been taking away reps from the young guys. We need build for the future so I'm not too interested in Kelly either tbh.

    Honestly, i'd be happy with any of those players listed. Also wouldn't mind Tyvon Branch if he's not resigned by the Raiders.

    Bush would definitely be a better compliment to CJ but it's unlikely we look there.

    Henderson as stated is too old

    I'd gladly welcome Routt, Huff or Johnson to our secondary

    I wouldn't mind Tommy Kelly at the right price. Him & Casey would be BEASTS at stopping the run.

    Add Richard Seymour to that list.

    I would love for us to get Seymour even though he's at the tail end of his career.

    He could probably help for a year or 2!
