Lamar Divens-Signed to a future contract

James Lang-US PRESSWIRE
While many Tennessee Titans players patiently wait to see if their contracts will be extended, guys like Defensive tackle Lamar Divens get one year deals.
He was originally signed as an undrafted free agent for the San Diego Charger in 2008 he was waived after training camp and Baltimore picked him up.
Today the Titans signed Divens (6-3, 343) to a one year deal; he was released from Baltimore last year right after training camp. His final month of the season he spent on the practice squad in Tampa Bay. In 2008 he only played in three games, in 2009 he spent the season on IR with a hip injury. 2010 was spent playing two games for the Ravens. What is this guy going to do for the Titans? How will this benefit Tennessee?
Heck, you’ve got me, if you figure it out let me know.
So far this off season the Titans have signed, Defensive tackle Lamar Divens, Wide Receiver Lavelle Hawkins with a three year, and Tackle Mike Otto was re-signed with a two year contract.
The Titans started this off-season with 18 players in limbo. In the meantime 15 players to date are CURRENTLY still with the Titans, await notification on future contracts vs. free agency.

i say why did we draft jurrell casey and carl klug i f we are signing a player like divens ,and dives did not cut it in baltimore ,i garee with someone who said divens is a person who played at licoln co high so what ,we need talent , i thought the titans built through the draft , we have a golden oppertunity to get a great ,not good plaer like quinton copels ,or mercilus ,and we sign anothe guy who weighs as much as a house . i hope divens called for jenny craig , the reason he did not cut it baltimore is he outweighed everybody ,and,they drafted mount cody ,tell me divens will slim down to 310 and play like sue.
Kind of the point of that post. I think it is a waste of time and exactly like you said, not worth the gamble. Thanks for the feedback. Who knows maybe he can shed 30 pounds or so, but you really want a guy with an attitude like Suh playing for the Titans?
Divens was a backup to Haloti Ngata (best DT in the game) for 3 yrs. I don’t think you can be on one of the NFL’s top defenses backing up one of the best players that long without talent. Baltimore kept him around for a reason. If you look at Baltimore’s D-Line they all are from 310-350, which probably means these guys are not only big but can move in order to keep this defense ranked at the top yr in and yr out. I saw where he played DE in 2010 which means he’s probably agile. Divens will play a nose tackle for us this yr and I think will be solid. Shaun Smith that we got last yr is every bit of 350. So I think Divens will fit in well at nose tackle. He’s still young and because he backed up the best probably has learned a lot and knows what it takes to be a dominant defense. Good luck to you Divens! Wish you the best. I’ll be rooting for you.
