Lol. Thats hilarious. Lion's called his bluff xD. His career is over.

I remember I wanted the Ravens to get him in the 2nd round a few years ago. I'm pretty sure he went a few picks before and then we got Torrey which has worked out just fine.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Patriots will sign Titus Young; and he will be to Donte Stallworth, as Dwayne Bowe is to Randy Moss and Danny Amendola is to Wes Welker...

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if New England goes out and signs a bunch of wide receivers. Luckily for everyone else, their defense is still LOL-worthy.

Pick him up and add him to the offseason roster. Give him a chance to play. The Lions are a horrible organization and while he isn't the type of player who fits with the Ravens, he is low risk high reward. The kid is fast and has good hands.

If he is cheap I say go for it. Under veteran leadership on a Super Bowl squad his antics should die down.

IMO there is no reward with this guy. He's a piece, and his attitude isn't going to change. The only person that probably has the ability to set guys straight like that is retiring. We're fine with what we have and id much rather see how Deonte Thompson, Doss, or LaQuan could possibly grow and contribute as opposed to this bum.

[Free Agent]

I wouldnt be opposed to giving him a shot.

But I see him landing with the Pats or Jets.

[Cville-Raven]

Based on seeing this guys twitter, I don't want him at all.

[Gordo52]

I don't want him and I don't think we would get him. But if we did I wouldn't be mad. I would just hope he matures.

[Gordo52]

Guys like LaQuan,Doss,Thompson,Streeter...our own guys, deserve a chance to make an impact for this team before he does.

I think he's a really talented WR who could do good work in our system. He's a tremendous athlete who could really flourish with Joe Flacco's deep ball. And I really believe that being on a winning team with a coach like Harbs who's big on discipline could help him make the most of his talent and settle the character concerns he's had. However, I don't see us as a likely landing spot for him. Our top 3 WRs are pretty much set and it would be tough from someone to break into the regular rotation over Boldin, Torrey, and Jacoby. He's not gonna want to go to a team where he won't get the ball. I see NE as a good landing spot for him because they have a lot of the same positives as us but with an open competition in the WR corps. Welker may not be back next year and while Gronk and Hernandez are supremely talented TEs you need more than those two. Young would be a verifiable deep threat for an already scary offense.

The St. Louis Rams have claimed Titus Young off Waivers from the Lions.

The Rams were the only team to place a claim on him.

Not surprised, Fisher likes reclamation projects.

Glad he's not our problem. I thought I heard something about off the field issues with this guy, but I couldn't remember. I do remember not being opposed to drafting him that year if we got him, but we got a guy with better character and who has turned out to be awesome on the field in Torrey Smith. He can go wreck someone else's team.
