I have never been a Leinart fan. |
If they're saying Remi Ayodele is of interest to us, that's the first I've heard about it.
As for Leinart, I talked about this a lot off-season because it seemed like a pretty serious possibility.
I thought that interest had faded away, but heard like 2-3 weeks ago it was still possible. I screwed up here, meant singular not plural (him, not them) but Leinart was the guy I was alluding to when I wrote the following line at the start of the thread.
But I don't think even KS believes Leinart is going to come in and start. He just likes the idea of having someone familiar with the system who can join the team this close to the start of the season.
And keep in mind, as much as everyone expects Rex to re-sign he's a FA so this conceivably could be a replacement for Rex.
"Vince Young still a possibility, but it's possible the Titans hold onto him until the last possible minute. And there are other, perhaps more controversial, possibilities. I'll just say I've mentioned them before"
