I hope you are right. And hopefully Zimmer sees something.

Me too... It is hard to keep telling myself to trust Zimmer despite the fact that he has done a good job with just about anyone who is back there. It would have been nice to get one good safety out of the FA market.

dead_poet, are there any other safeties available?

He played under Jerry Gray, so that's probably the connection. I don't think he was very good last year, but wouldn't be first time Zimmer brings in a flailing vet and revives their career.

The Titans have gone through a lot of change the last few years. Maybe that could be a factor.

So maybe I should learn how to spell Su'a Cravens :whistle:

Su'a is interesting. Could play some safety and can play some LB. could be a 3 down person playing both spots depending the down and distance.

If this was the Michael Griffin of the years 2010 to 2013, I would be excited. Now? It is a really 'meh' signing. He is better than Sendejo, but that isn't saying much.

No, but they did both go to the University of Texas. Ced was on the team that won the national title (2005). Hook 'em Horns!

Oh okay so that was the connection. I remember there was something. Thank you.

Yeah, we (UT) had a secondary with a guy named Griffin for a good chunk of time! I guess it was 2006 when they won the title, improbably, against USC.

So glad we re-signed Harris. Gives us competition on that right side

I would love Cravens in the 2nd round.

Agreed. From Twitter it doesn't sound like they're done, either.

JohnMiddlekauff Hearing #Eagles & #Vikings making a push to land Andre Holmes. Not going to be easy for Oakland to keep, tho they really want him

@CharlesRobinson The #Vikings aren't done on the offensive line. There's still money left to spend there. Working to confirm #Vikings target who could offer some offensive line flexibility.
