Titans looking to trade Justin Hunter? – NFL.com

This week, rumors have been circulating around Titan Nation that Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter was being shopped by other NFL teams. This news did not settle well with Titan fans, as they’ve naturally become on the defensive on thought of losing one of the offense’s key players. Don’t you dare touch our damn merchandise. But, how effective has Hunter been this season? After posting 18 receptions, 354 receiving yards, and 4 TDs last season, his rookie season, Hunter has only been able to muster 9 receptions for 138 receiving yards this season.

Titans beat writer, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, mentioned this week that the Justin Hunter trade rumor was in fact “just another bogus rumor that gets started this time of year.” However, Wyatt did report that the Titans’ staff were “disappointed” with Hunter’s “inconsistencies”, but they have no intentions of trading the Titans receiver. The detailed rumor was that their was buzz in Cleveland that the Browns were interested in obtaining Hunter for undrafted running back, Isaiah Crowell.
