Could Titans make run at Steelers free agent receiver?

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at 12:00am

With free agency scheduled to begin on Friday, there are those who believe the Tennessee Titans could and should look there for help at the wide receiver position.

One intriguing player the Titans are believed to have interest in, according to a source, could be Pittsburgh Steelers free agent Nate Washington.

"Washington played this season as the Steelers third receiver behind Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes and caught a career-high 40 passes for the Super Bowl champions.

In three seasons with the Steelers, Washington has 104 receptions and averaged 16.4 yards per catch with nine touchdowns.

Other free agent receivers who will hit the unrestricted market include Cincinnati’s T.J. Houshmandzadeh, San Francisco’s Bryant Johnson, the New York Giants’ Amani Toomer and the Titans own pair of free agents Brandon Jones and Justin McCareins.

It was a nice reunion but don't see the Titans reupping on McCareins. Tommer is past his prime. My choice is Houshmandzadeh but really can't say he is a better choice than Washington.

I don't see why not, the Titans have a stellar track record when it comes to free-agent WRs. Yancey Thigpen, Carl Pickens, David Givens, Justin McCareins.
