Smizzy Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Titans | Sirmon wants to be released Wed, 15 Mar 2006 15:53:16 -0800 Terry McCormick, of the Nashville City Paper, reports Tennessee Titans LB Peter Sirmon has asked the team to release him from his contract. Sirmon has one year remaining on his deal with a cap cost of $4.6 million, which includes a base salary of $2.4 million. I like Sirmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I like Sirmon. Sirmon was a borderline Pro Bowler -- very underrated -- until his major knee injury -- he missed all of 2004. He wasn't as good last season, but two seasons removed from a major ACL he should be back to where he was.... Sirmon probably feels slapped in the face having to move to MLB -- he's classic coverage OLB, not a run-stopping MLB....... He took a lot less money to stay in Tennessee instead of going to the Rams awhile back (took an isane pay cut), now he's being told to move inside.... http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com/index.cfm?section_id=7&screen=news&news_id=48559 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smizzy Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Would you take a chance on him and that knee here in NY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I actually had a long response, but the computer/site would not send the reply and I lost it :Cuss: Short is answer is yes, I'd take a long look at a healthy Sirmon...He's a real good player, when healthy. Tennessee can't be dumb enough to let him go, if he's healthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We released some good players who just didn't "fit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Playing inside in the 3-4 is a lot different than the 4-3 or 4-2-5 formations Tennessee plays... Sirmon is a gawky, big bird looking type, who relies on speed....Prior to the injury, he would even start in Tennessee's much used 4-2-5 defense (2 LB's, 5 DB's) and never come out of the game....Even if it was 4th down and 25, he would drop into coverage and not be replaced by a DB. 1: Tennessee tends to marginalize their inside linebackers going with the 4-2-5 often, so that has to be a possible reason of his concern? 2: he's not a protypical MLB due to his size, may not be able to take the pounding? But, again, as a ILB for 3-4 team, he's a better fit... BTY, those are just guesses on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
