>>Titans GM Stresses Collaboration

(Nashville, TN)  — The new Titans’ general manager is focusing on collaborating with his peers.  Ran Carthon spoke to the media and said, “collaboration truly works.”  He went on to say, “I could be the greatest talent evaluator of all time, but if I can’t bring Mike [Vrabel] the players that he needs to fit his system, then it is not going to work.”  Carthon was formally introduced last week and will turn his attention to roster building with free agency taking place in March.  Tennessee also has the 11th pick in April’s draft.
