A possible cornerback addition for the Tennessee Titans.

Did you know that Jon Robinson was a key part of the New England Patriots organization for over a decade?

If you haven’t heard that (and I have no idea how that could be possible) now you have.

During that time, Robinson brought in an undrafted cornerback who had bounced around practice squads on to his roster. That cornerback’s name was Kyle Arrington.

Recently, Arrington was released by the Baltimore Ravens:

This comes on the heels of being put on I.R. last year, and I don’t imagine that there are actual long term health complications. This is just something teams do.

While Arrington isn’t a big name, he showed during his long time in New England that he can affect passes. In his last three seasons as a full time starter with the Patriots, Arrington had 39 pass break ups in three years.

Health injuries made him not worth his contract to the Baltimore Ravens, but to be fair they have addressed cornerback pretty heavily in the last few years. So they weren’t cutting a projected starter.

Likewise, I don’t think he would be a starter for the Tennessee Titans. However, I do think he could be a great high floor, low ceiling type of player for the Titans.

Right now, this is what the nickel package and depth chart looks like for Tennessee:

Boundary CB1: Adoree Jackson

Boundary CB2: LeShaun Sims

Slot CB: Logan Ryan

CB4: Brice McCain

CB5: D’Joun Smith

CB6: Kalan Reed

That is very bad after the first three. I’m not suggesting that Arrington is going to be a world beater, but he has a lot of experience including a Super Bowl win. That is something that Robinson looks for.

    • On top of that, he affects passes consistently and he was used in a variety of ways during his time in New England.

    I think Dick LeBeau would love to get his hands on a versatile, veteran defensive back who could be active on gameday and provide solid depth.

    Not a ground breaking signing, but it would churn the bottom of the roster which is what great teams do as they strive to get better. The Tennessee Titans are now one of those teams.
