The Titans will meet with wide receiver Jordan Matthews, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Matthews previously visited with the Packers and Patriots and, at least at one point, had an offer from the Cardinals.
The former Bills and Eagles receiver made a name for himself at Vanderbilt, which is a stone’s throw away from Nissan Stadium, so a return to Tennessee could hold appeal for him. The Titans would also give him an opportunity to shine with alongside Rishard Matthews and 2017 first-round pick Corey Davis.
From 2014-16, Matthews averaged 75 receptions for 891 yards and six touchdowns for the Eagles. Last year, however, he had only 25 catches in ten games for the Bills last year thanks to knee and ankle injuries. A one-year deal would make sense for him since he could restore his value with a big 2018.
Last year, the Titans posted the eighth-fewest receiving yards in the NFL and they’re looking to improve on that figure in the fall. With dynamic rusher Derrick Henry keeping defenses honest, that won’t be hard to do with the right personnel at wide receiver.
Cooks was just traded and Matthews visited the other day. Wonder if they liked what they can
What is the chance he lands in Green Bay?
Small….he wants 5 mil a year and GB likely won’t meet that demand.
Yeah. GB would have to cut Cobb to make that work, and that’s not happening unless they trade for a true gamechanger. Matthews is not that. I wouldn’t mind replacing Cobb with Matthews, but not at that price.
As a lifelong packer fan, I would suspect they offered him around $900K.
