Titans fans are very sad that he is gone, seems like he was a very underrated player that could've gotten more on the open market but chose to be a Dolphin.

With Ramsey and Long, I think we are done of defense now, aside from depth roles and draft picks.

His resume reads like he's more of a run-stuffer, but it still sounds like a great signing.

We needed help desperately at the LB position, and a lot of other free agents signed elsewhere (for a lot more money). Hopefully we can find a gem in the draft to add just a little more depth and maybe a slightly different skill set into the mix.

Elandon Roberts just signed with Pittsburgh. He was pretty solid but Long is much better when on the field. The Steelers cut Miles Jack after signing Roberts which I assume was a money thing.

If we lose Van Ginkel to free agency as well, then we definitely need even more help at the Linebacker position.

Yeah, we're still thin at that position and any injury will derail us. I don't know if we will be making any big splashes at that position though. New DC plus Jalen Ramsey plus returns of injured players makes me think we may not use what's left of our financial resources on top end LB's. No one wants a weak spot but money and draft picks aren't infinite.

Since Gesicki signed with New England I’m guessing it’s only a matter of time until they sign Van Ginkel. I guess we are hoping for a lot out of last years draft pick who never got to play.
