Titans Meet With Quincy Adeboyejo
The Titans will meet with wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport. It’s yet another audition for the 24-year-old, who has been on the circuit since missing the Jets’ cut in late August.
Adeboyejo showed his stuff for the Cowboys, Bills, and other clubs in September, but is still on the lookout for work. Though he was not drafted in 2017, Adeboyejo showed promise while at Ole Miss, tallying a combined 70+ receptions and 1,000+ yards over his final two years in school.
Adeboyejo joined the Ravens in ’17 and saw time in one game as a rookie. The Ravens were expecting a step forward for him in 2018, but he unfortunately lost the season to a leg injury. Before this year’s training camp, the Ravens cut him loose, leading him to Gang Green. He didn’t take flight with the Jets, but he could find his next opportunity in Nashville.
The Titans are presently carrying five receivers with Corey Davis, Tajae Sharpe, Adam Humphries, Darius Jennings, and Adeboyejo’s fellow Ole Miss alum A.J. Brown on board.

Packers Place OL Lane Taylor On IR
Lane Taylor is out for at least the next eight games. The Packers announced that they have placed the starting offensive guard on the injured reserve with a biceps injury.
Taylor, a former undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State, started 45 games for the Packers between the 2016 and 2018 seasons. He started the first two games of 2019 at left guard before suffering the biceps injury during last weekend’s win over the Vikings. The 29-year-old will be eligible to return to the field in late November.
With Taylor sidelined, the Packers will now turn to rookie Elgton Jenkins. The rookie second-rounder out of Mississippi State saw only a pair of snaps during the season opener, but he garnered 21 snaps in Week 2. If the rookie struggles, the Packers could also turn to versatile lineman Alex Light.
In a corresponding move, the Packers signed offensive lineman Adam Pankey off the Titans practice squad. The 6-foot-5, 313-pound was signed by the Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He appeared in one game as a rookie before moving on to the Titans practice squad.
Almost Every NFL Team In On Jalen Ramsey
Jalen Ramsey is on the block, and just about every NFL team is interested, as Josina Anderson of ESPN.com tweets. Specifically, the Chiefs, Ravens, Vikings, Raiders, Eagles, and Seahawks have all made “substantive inquiries” on the Jaguars cornerback, Anderson reports.
At this point, it feels like a certainty that Ramsey will be traded. And that deal is expected to go down soon. The Jags are reportedly hoping to move Ramsey on Friday, though he’ll still suit up for Thursday night’s game against the Titans. 
In an interesting twist, the Titans also expressed interest in Ramsey, Dianna Russini of ESPN.com (on Twitter) hears, though the price proved to be too high for them and some other interested teams. That, sadly, rules out a scenario like the famed 1978 76ers/Nets trade that saw Eric Money (real name) play, and score, for both teams in the same game (kidding).
In any sport, it’s dicey to put a player on the field when he’s on the verge of being traded. That’s especially true in football, but if this week’s rumblings are true, then the Jaguars will be willing to roll the dice for their national TV game against Tennessee.
After that, Ramsey will likely suit up for another club, but he won’t be eligible to play twice in the same week.
Raiders Interested In Jalen Ramsey
Jalen Ramsey‘s time in Jacksonville may be coming to an end. The Jaguars play on Thursday night and it’s been reported that Friday is the “likely target date” for the team to trade the 24-year-old.
The Raiders are one of the teams that have checked in with the Jaguars about the cornerback, a source tells Vic Tafur of The Athletic. Ramsey has previously indicated that the Raiders and Titans would be his ideal destinations, though that was back in August before any serious chatter of the team trading him.
“I like (Las) Vegas,” Ramsey said back in August. “They don’t have any state income tax.”
The Raiders will move to Las Vegas next season. The move will be costly for the team and adding Ramsey, who will be expecting a new deal, could be problematic. Cash flow for an extension could be an issue for the Raiders, as Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune tweets.
Jacksonville is reportedly asking for two first-round picks for Ramsey with a 2020 first-rounder as a baseline in negotiations. The Raiders have two selections in the upcoming draft: their own and the Bears’ pick (from the Khalil Mack trade).

Titans Sign LS Beau Brinkley To Extension
The Titans have agreed to terms on a multi-year extension with long snapper Beau Brinkley, per a club announcement. Exact terms of the deal are not yet known.
Brinkley first joined the Titans as an undrafted free agent following the 2012 draft. Since then, he’s manned the long snapping spot for Tennessee. Currently, he’s partnered with punter Brett Kern, who has achieved Pro Bowl status in back-to-back seasons, thanks in part to Brinkley. Meanwhile, kickers Rob Bironas (2012-13) and Ryan Succop (2014-18) combined to make 85.6% of their field goals across Brinkley’s first seven seasons.
Last time around, in 2015, Brinkley inked a five-year, $5.75MM extension with the Titans. His new deal will give him a bit of a pay bump, plus increased security.
