Those are two teams I am keeping an eye on for the next couple of days.

For the Titans, it is because of talks with Julius Jones.  I already like watching the Titans because of Vince Young.   Heck, I liked them before V.Y. — I was a Houston Oilers fan growing up.   And, I’ve always like Julius.  I think it is the right decision for the Cowboys to feature The Barbarian next year, but I wish Julius all the luck in finding a prominent role on a new team.

And, if he should sign with the Titans — and I think that it would be a great fit for him — it gives me all the reason to catch Titans games when I can.

As for the Cardinals, I am simply keeping an eye on the Larry Fitzgerald situation.  As you can tell, the Cowboys haven’t exactly made a splash in free agency.  And that’s been a good thing for the most part — we’ve seen some mid-tier level players getting way overpaid.   But that doesn’t mean the Cowboys can’t make some moves, and wide receiver is one of the position we need.

The Cardinals will be hard-pressed to keep Fitzgerald on the roster without a new contract to lessen his salary cap hit, and thus far, contract talks have stalled.   With the Cowboys having two first round picks, this gives them a little flexibility.

Remember, Fitzgerald is only twenty-four.   He’s got a lot of years left.  And the Cowboys might not have to use two number ones to get him.  They could package up another pick, or perhaps a player like Bobby Carpenter who may have become expendable with the signing of Zack Thomas.

Anyway, it is a long shot, of course, but not completely out of the ballpark.   And, you have to admit, a Larry Fitzgerald running routes opposite of Terrell Owens does have some Wow factor to it.
