The Titans have claimed offensive lineman Josh Kline off waivers from the Patriots, according to a Titans press release. In a related move, cornerback Cody Riggs was waived.
Kline was originally supposed to go from the Pats to the Eagles in the recent Eric Rowe trade. Early reports indicated that the Eagles would flip the lineman to another team, but as it turns out, he was removed from the trade altogether. The Patriots, in turn, waived him.
Kline played in 14 games for New England last season and made 13 starts, splitting his time evenly between the two guard spots. He also started at left guard for both of the team’s playoff contests. The Titans are now adding him to the fold and they’ll have him under contract through 2017 at a reasonable rate.
