The Titans have agreed to sign cornerback Antwon Blake, according to Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com.
Blake started 16 games for the Steelers in 2015 and recorded a career-high 76 tackles, one sack, two interceptions, and a defensive touchdown. Blake also snagged an interception in Pittsburgh’s postseason win over the Bengals. The 25-year-old also drew interest from the Patriots and his agent recently stated that he was in talks with four other teams besides the Titans and Pats.
In other Titans news, the team also re-signed offensive lineman Byron Bell on Thursday.
Zach, do you know if Pittsburgh even considered bringing him back? I’m a Steeler fan and thought that he played decent last year. Really didn’t expect the team to let him walk.
Do you know if they’re
I accidentally hit the post button. I meant to say do you know if they’re hoping to completely fill the hole at CB with draft picks or if they could still get a starting CB in free agency. Now the hole at CB just got a whole lot bigger.
You thought he played decent? We must have been watching different games. PFF rated him the second worst corner just ahead of Brandon Brower who was only rated that low because of penalties. Blake was trash. He played 10 yards off the receiver, never played the ball, and allowed catches like crazy. He went for a lot of tackles but missed a lot. The eye test showed he was a terrible cornerback. I, for one, am glad he is off the team.
I’m not in any way saying the 9ers should’ve signed this guy but I’m tired of seeing everyone signing everyone while the 9ers sit idle. Someone needs to tell Baalke Free Agency has started and his team is sitting on the most cap space in the NFL. At least give some of your guys who deserve pay raises a raise if you are content with letting everyone else sign elsewhere and also content with tanking next season. I feel bad for Chip Kelly. He is a good coach and I don’t care what people think about him but he is stuck with a GM doesn’t want to help the team obviously.
Steeler fans should thank Tennessee. Blake is not a professional CB
