Paper: Titans tried to keep Odom
The Tennessean reports that the Titans attempted to re-sign defensive end Antwan Odom, who signed a five-year, $29.5 million contract with the Bengals. Odom -- who benefited from playing on the same line with Pro Bowl selections Albert Haynesworth and Kyle Vanden Bosch -- wasn't valued as much by the Titans as he was by the Bengals.
Haynesworth, who received the Titans' franchise tag designation, is not happy to see so many of his teammates leave from a playoff team.
On Monday, the Titans lost three of their free agents — Odom (Bengals), defensive end Travis LaBoy (Cardinals) and guard Jacob Bell (Rams). Over the weekend, defensive tackle Randy Starks (Dolphins) and tight end Ben Hartsock (Falcons) left.

I live in Tennessee now and saw Odom play a lot this last year.
I'm very impressed with him. Though not a pro bowler yet he has the possibility of getting there.
Overpaid waste of player. Way to go Bungles!
Until I see results from Odom & this terrible defense the Bengals put every Sunday who cares about the signing. I want results. 1 winning season in 17 years sucks & I am tired of rooting for a sucky team.

If Antwan Odom Sacks both Derek Anderson and Ben Interceptionberger at Paul Brown Stadium this season, he more than earned that $29.5M in my book....
