Titans Agree to Terms with Hentrich/Loper to Lions

... to ya mutha.

Good job MR!

 

6 year deal seems like a bit much for a guy his age but his SB was only $1.5M which prorates out to just 250K a year so if he retires after just 2 years we won't have much dead money. It guarantees he will be here for the rest of his career.

 

Loper agrees to terms with Lions

Reportedly a 1 year deal... kinda odd. It's a shame, he was decent depth and we had put a few years into developing him.

 

SUMMARY: Craig Hentrich will return as the Titans punter for another year as he enters his 16th season in the NFL. "Craig has been such a valuable player for us in so many ways during his time here and we are pleased to be able to agree on a contract with him for another year," said Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt. Hentrich averaged 42.8 yards a punt along with a 36.5 net last season. Terms of the deal have not been announced. In related news, Daniel Loper has agreed to a one-year deal with the Lions. Terms of that agreement has not been released.

Couldn't have put it better myself. We've never had to worry about football's most neglected position because Craig's provided stability for years. Other than his back issues I really can't fault him. He's given his body for us for suh a long time, back when he was healthy enough to bang out kickoffs and the ocassional FG attempt. He's no HOFer (so far, not even Ray freakin' Guy is), but he certainly makes my Titans ring of honour.

Loper would have been nice to keep (he's a guy I don't fear stepping in when someone goes down), you can't keep 'em all. Hopefully he can step into the starting role with Detroit.

 

We had no chance signing loper he wanted to go somewhere he can start. He is going to start for one year, play well and then get a $5-6M contract next season.

Maybe i'm wrong about loper being as good or better than amano at guard but i think he is and as a starting guard he signs for us but as a #3 tackle with no chance at starting for 5 more years there was no way in hell he would stay here.
