    Lingering Knee Issues Hampering Levitre in Tennessee



    Maybe this is why they didn't want to break the bank on him?

    Guard Andy Levitre, one of the few free agents who cashed in this year by jumping from Buffalo to Tennessee, has yet to join the Titans’ OTAs due to lingering problems with a knee on which arthroscopic surgery was performed in 2012.

    His knee was checked out by TN before he got a contract, Bills have zero responsibility. I'm just hoping that the Bills still get a late 3rd rounder for losing him, we don't get many picks that way.

      I wonder if this played in with Buffalo's not re-signing him...

        Regardless, the comment below that article sums it up perfectly

        " Even at 100%, no guard is worth $13 million for one year or $26 million for 3 years.."

          Yeah. I loved Levitre, but I cannot fault the Bills for not doing that.

              I wish we could've kept him, but it became clear he wanted to test the market, and for good reason as he cashed in. I feel that the Bills will continue to look better in the long run, just too much $ for a guard. My only lament is we didn't sign Vasquez and keep Rhinehart, we could've had both for Levitre's price. I would've felt a lot better about the interior OL then.
              Next man up...let's see who TAKES the job. None of that " best of the worst" crap.

                Especially since we can use that money to lock up Byrd and pick up any decent free agents before the season starts.

                  He hasn't even missed a mandatory practice yet, let alone a game.

                      Re: Lingering Knee Issues Hampering Levitre in Tennessee

                      i am assuming a lot of linemen have knee issues. if i was a titan fan, i would be concerned that a new player isn't there for OTA's to learn everything and go through the walk throughs. But the proof with Levtrie is that he starts and finishes everygame. i would trust that as a sign that he'll be ready for the season. but i would be pissed that one of the most expensive members of the team isn't ready to go right now.

                      also, i don't know why guard isn't worth a high price. if you have a good guard, you can get a good run game inside, which means the other team is going to wear down faster.

                          NTD, anyone you ever predict to not pan out? every single time a decent player moves, you find no name players and suggest the team will be fine with them as the replacement. and lo and behold that is yet another position where we suck.

                              But we killed Dareus for missing one week of OTA's.
