Titans interested in Brandon Lloyd

Gotcha... Yea that's because those are teams that players would love to play for.

I could definitely see him going to the Patriots. I do think we make the most sense.

I really don't see why Munchak wouldn't pull the trigger on this trade. He's a first year coach and has a very good shot at the playoffs. Rookie coaches who make the playoffs tend to stay around a while.

While Lloyd is, in no way, a replacement for Britt, he is reliable and will contribute more than any of our active WRs will.

 

Imagine this starting WR crew for next season....

Britt/Lloyd/Washington and a potential WR drafted early like Floyd or Blackmon.

Just once i wish we could have a solid WR group.

 

Honestly I don't know how much pull Munchak has in the final decision. He might be able to put in a suggestion but can a first year head coach really hold that much weight in trades?

If a deal is going to happen, you would think Sunday or Monday would be the most likely time it would happen. I'd assume the Titans would want to give Lloyd as much time as possible to settle into the offense and since we couldn't practice during the bye week Sunday or Monday would be logical.

My gut says this gets done, but who knows after the Randy Moss bust last season.

Wishful thinking, we trade a 4th or 5th for Lloyd, resign him for 3 years and save a pick we would have had to use on a receiver.

 

The front office might have that sour Pickens/Thigpen/Givens/Moulds/Moss thing going on but this is different.This guy could contribute for years and also be a potential Locker fave so who knows.

 

we all know why moss didnt work and I dont even have to say it!

 

Hasselbeck to Lloyd does have a very nice ring to it.

 

John Clayton said he sees about a 15% chance that Lloyd is traded. But, Lombardi says 90%? LOL

In all seriousness, if we could trade a 4th, 5th, or 6th for this guy I'd be happy. Hopefully we'd be able to sign him for a 2-3 year extension shortly after. Britt-Lloyd-Washington-Williams would be a solid WR group next year.

 

Then why all the buzz? I bet Lloyd gets traded.

And for once I agree with the SureThing, save a high pick for something we could get for a mid round pick. This provides insurance for Britt worse case scenario. The more I think about this potential trade, the more I like it.

 

I understand what you are saying. But most folks want to make the playoffs this year despite the fact our team will likely play in just one post season game, but there is allways the chance. Its like increasing your odds winning the lottery tremendously simply by purchasing a ticket. ( As opposed to trying to win without a ticket) Even if we have Kenny and he plays well next year, we need a guy who can challenge Nate and our other stellar pass catchers.

Unless Kenny makes it back next year and plays lights out and injury free, our front office has not had a lot of luck picking WR,s in early rounds. To be fair, free agents have not worked out well for the last 10 years either.Bad play, lackluster or injury, something bad seems to happen.

It would be nice to get a WR that might actually be OK before they are here for 4 years.That seems to be about 2 years too many to get good,IMO. I also think any move for a WR is wasted if the run game dont get a lot better. I am not talking a couple long runs a game.
I want someone who you can trust to get those hard three or less yards for a crucial 1st down and extend drives.
