Titans release Mettenberger

[Fla Cowpoke]

Any interest?

 

[davey999]

We should have interest but Linehan sold the group on Moore.

 

[BlueNSilver88]

We should at least inquire into it

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Really surprised they couldn't trade him. He was supposedly considered starting caliber. Would definitely be a challenge to Moore.

 

[Stash]

I'd pounce immediately. Let's see who claims him?

 

[vaturkey]

He will be claimed by someone. Has a big league arm for sure, but limited mobility. Think he is a smart dude and very competitive. He would be better IMO then anything we have on the roster as a backup.

 

[HowBoutThemBoys]

Mettenburger has a cannon of an arm. He also has no touch, accuracy issues and terrible decision making. Pass.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Yep, we should. He is a better prospect then the kid we just drafted IMO.

 

[Plankton]

Mettenberger certainly has the tools as far as throwing the football is concerned, but I worry about how mentally strong he is. His past at Georgia also would worry me a bit.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

His draft profile

Guess the 0 and 10 starting record scared teams off, but lets face it they have had a really weak roster the last few years. Interesting though that they kept Cassel over him although new coaching staff apparently has ties to him.

There is no reason NOT to put a claim in.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Would take him as a camp arm at worst.

I imagine he might want to go to a team that he thinks he might have a chance at starter...even if that is unrealistic.

Georgia? Didnt he play at LSU?

I think that's a valid concern but I also think that all of the same arguments can be made about Dak. The one thing that Mettenberger does have that Dak does not is experience in the NFL as a starter. He has started 10 games and that's a huge upside IMO. Especially for us.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Yes, but he from Athens Georgia.

Absolutely...doesn't hurt to kick those tires.

Is waiver claim order still based on draft order at this point? If so, we would have a great chance at him.

Obviously Denver or SF could be interested but we should waiver dibs over everyone except Cleveland and SD.

 

[Hardline]

I usually shoot down picking up released players.
But this is an exception.

Yeah but I think he's subject to waivers and the choice isn't his yet.
