This ****er should be exiled from the game, so no I don't think he's "worth bringing in for a look" or the 100 other cliches. If he wants that attitude play in the damn Arena league.

I'll take him if he's cheap. Despite being an asshole, he'd still be better than what we have now.

I wouldn't touch him. Talent can overpower trouble in the equation to an extent, but there's a certain balance you need there and he's leaning way too far over on the trouble side of the line.

From what I understand, the Lions sat him down on multiple occassions and told him exactly what he needs to do and how he needs to act to get back on the field. As soon as they give him a shot to act that way, he did the exact opposite. Dude is a headcase.

Yep, the league won't miss him one bit either. Too much talent available for clowns like this to stick around.

No. Coming from a Lions fans, the kid is a jackass.

Sure why not. Like you said, if he acts up, **** him he's outta here.

Everyone saying "sure, why not?" and "bring him in, what harm is it? Just can him if he doesn't fall in line."

Okay, let's think about this:

1. I'm an undersized jackass that INTENTIONALLY ****ed up to hurt my own team because - gasp! - I'm not getting as many targets as CALVIN ****ING JOHNSON THE ****ING MEGATRON.

2. I am coming in to work alongside a first round pick who so far has not reached even the floor of his potential due to a bad attitude and unwillingness to work.

3. This other wide receiver has 2x the physical tools I have. If he were to reach his ceiling, he would be infinitely better than I am.

4. KC has a new head coach, new OC, new QB coach, new WR coach. These are the men tasked with taking the statistically shittiest offense in the league (that's science) and turning it into a juggernaut. They have limited time in which to salvage the GOOD players on this offense, let alone coaching up the potentially good ones and weeding out the hopeless ones. They cannot afford to waste any of training camp trying to figure out why a dumbshit is a dumbshit and not an all-pro. They have to actually field a real team, not go all Good Will Hunting trying to psychoanalyze genius out of troubled youth.

5. Mike Wallace. Greg Jennings. These are real wide receivers. Second round picks from Boise State who suck donkey balls and do everything short of setting fire to the field during play do not warrant the limited time, money, or attention at this franchise's disposal for, you know, trying to field a team that can win more than two games.

In summation, what can go wrong?

- Locker room discord.
- Whatever hope is left for Jon Baldwin is out the window when he and Titus Young have a pout-off where they take turns screaming at the QB, the coaches, each other, and then just running in circles like Larry and Curly after eating hot peppers instead of running their routes.
- We do not sign a legitimate WR, because we are gambling on this turd.
- The coaches are distracted by this asshole instead of coaching players who are willing to work for playing time.


No, thank you.

or

**** no, thank you.

or best of all:

No. **** you.

Are Jennings and Wallace worth 20 times as much as Titus Young b/c that is what you are going to have to pay them.

Chiefs with Gus Cassel as QB. Many holes on this team.

Chiefs with a real QB (Geno Smith perhaps). Many holes on this team disappear. Both sides of the ball.

That's what Detroit thought.

The rest of the NFL needs to take heed. If the Lions are cutting a talented player, buyer beware! :doh!:

Sign Bowe
Sign Greg Jennings
Claim Titus Young
Draft Geno.

Profit

Thats how I feel. Bowe can teach him how to shut the hell up. Jennings will be a good veteran roll model. Profit

Greg Jennings? Nah.

I know that sounds good guys, but we have a few glaring holes on defense we need to fill.

Titus Young can be the slot guy Dex isn't and never will be.

GTFO Dex. Welcome Titus.

Fixed cause i know you care

His skill set is pretty much exactly what we need. Deep speed to stretch the defense and fluid in and out of his breaks.

Put Bowe and Jennngs on the outside and Young in the slot with Moeaki at tight end with Charles coming out f the backfield.

Geno would rape fools.

It's a shame that he is such a dumbass.

At this point, Jennings is kinda meh to me. This is a great wr class, we can get one in the later rounds.

But Young comes basically at 10 cents on the dollar.

He's the kind of player you can add to a team that is already winning but has needs at WR. If he pouts again, that kind of attitude will NOT be tolerated, and his ass will be gone with no harm done.

With a team that still has no leader at QB (even when we draft Geno, he's only going to be a rookie) and hasn't won shit for a long time, any of his bullshit tricks that he tries could have a negative effect.

Couple that with Andy Reid, the guy who almost never tells his players to shut the **** up, and we could have a serious problem.

Jennings isn't gonna be extremely expensive IMO and is exactly the type of safety net guy that helps a young quarterback immensely. He and Bowe would be two guys that can help generate offense and Young could be the "Mike Wallace" type that chops the head off the defense. Matchup Baldwin on a 4th corner and let Geno spread the defense and pick em apart.

IF we retain Bowe, I'm anxious to see if the guys we have improve. I'd like to bring in Young, wish we had drafted him, but he seems like a tool that won't change.

Maybe there's a head coach that could get Young to fall in line, but I don't think Reid is that coach. And I can't imagine that the new regime will want to have the turmoil he could cause in their first year.

He'll be a Patriot!

If you had a veteran QB who could keep him in line, maybe. Even then I'd probably say no. But with a rookie, no way on earth. If your personnel department is any good, you can pick up WR's just as good in the middle rounds.

Jennings looks like a free agent bust in the making.

Injury prone, likely a product of a great offensive system/QB in Green Bay, etc.

Pass.

In a profootballtalk.com article, Florio wrote Chiefs have dibs. Whatever that means. I know their first in the waiver wire.

Me personally Id claim him. He couldnt hurt anything. We were 2-14 and have a shit WR core. If he can be shut up and straightened he could be good. He had a good rookie year

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...than-megatron/

bat shit crazy but i still want him

ROFL at the thought of him saying he's better than Megatron

Rick James...hmmmm..Man or Woman?

This is really no different than some guy on a Lions forum saying they should sign Jon Baldwin. "Hey, he averages 30 yards a game and has talent, let's sign him!" Except Baldwin didn't play with a legit QB and isn't insane.

Yes.

No way. This guy isn't even talented enough to be a "cancer". He's a wanna-be cancer. A punchline. And would be immediately sending a message to the team and league that the new Chiefs administration puts no value at all on character.

I will say, I think it would be hilarious if he were completely blacklisted from the league and had to beg for a job in Canada.

Runs great routes. Catches the ball. I will take him 1000x over a head case like Titus Young who has a 3% chance of even making the team. Seriously, why would you ever put any time or effort into coaching a guy that would intentionally throw a play?

**** him. I wouldn't sign him for the rookie minimum. Just not worth it.

Cancer? The guy tried to sabotage his own team. That's a whole other level of cancer.

I could totally see Titus Young end up with Cincinnati.

There's no questioning his talent. But the list of sins he's already committed is extensive, and there's no indication of ANY remorse from the guy. None.

He's physically assaulted a teammate, intentionally lined up in the wrong place on the field, and thinks he's as good as Calvin Johnson. Even if he was compliant out of a need to find a job, he's exactly the kind of guy that would pull some team-splitting diva shit at just the wrong time.

I won't flip my crap if they claim him. There's virtually no risk. But I'd handcuff whoever the new Ray Farmer is to this guy's ankle bracelet just in case.

Exactly. If the dude gets another chance in the NFL next season, I'll be surprised.

Alex Smith throwing to Titus Young? That's cray.

Lets bring in Fat Jamarcus to throw some bombs while we are at it...I want nothing to do with this shit head.

not even close

You're right. My apologizes to Jon Baldwin for comparing him to a dude who was so out of control he was banished by one of the least disciplined teams in football. I was out of line.

Especially when your new GM comes from a team that's had success drafting receivers in rounds 2-4, the smart move is Titus Young.

Seriously though... it'd be different maybe if this guy's a #1. He might certainly have some success going forward. What's his ceiling though? Does anyone really think this guy is really a top 10-15 WR? This isn't TO or Moss we're talking about here.

If you trust your personnel department at all, you should be able to get #2 WRs in the mid rounds of the draft. The Packers certainly drafted enough of them over the last several years.

you were comparing him to Jon Baldwin's production

Titus Young actually has a productive skillset for the NFL unlike Jon Baldwin, if you take away the immaturity. On the field it is not even close who the better player/talent is

Am i the only one who see's the jets in his future? Add to the shit circus. Or with the rest of the misfits in raiderland.

The Steelers should sign him and feed him to Todd Haley.

Good points.

But with needs at QB, CB, S, ILB, and WR I'd prefer us to spend on one of the options at WR in free agency. We could probably add a quality starter at S and WR and still keep Bowe and Albert...

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/pos...s-such-a-waste

there's really no justification for thinking he'll do anything but continue to be a pain in the ass as a human being...

but still, the thought of getting his talent off the trash heap for nothing is tempting, won't lie...

Titus Young on Megatron: 'I'm better than him'

The Detroit Lions released mouthy wide receiver Titus Young on Monday after a series of run-ins between the 23-year-old and his superiors.

Young was outspoken -- especially on Twitter -- and, beyond that, the Lions' brass apparently feared possible emotional issues and had reportedly suggested therapy for the receiver. He didn't cooperate and was let go, but not before revealing that he believed himself to be a better receiver than the Texans' Calvin Johnson, the NFL's leader in receiving yards each of the past two seasons.

Young's high school coach, E.C. Robinson, told the Detroit Free Press that he and Young spoke at Christmas, and the second-year pro out of Boise State had some pretty interesting viewpoints.

“He did tell me he thought he was just as good Megatron,” Robinson said, according to the paper. “I said, ‘Titus, come on.' I said, ‘Come on, man. Who you talking to?' I said, ‘Come on, you're as good as that guy? This guy is the real deal.' And he really believes this. And he was sincere about it. ‘Ah man, I'm better than him.' I said, ‘No you're not. Be real man. Come on.' So I don't know, I'm hoping for the best for him.”

Certainly not short on talent, Young appeared unable to accept his role in Detroit, even going as far to tweet that he wasn't selfish, he just wanted the ball -- or else he wasn't going to play.

It's obvious Young has some issues he needs to work out, especially if he hopes to find a welcoming landing spot on the open market.

And he should probably cool it with all the I'm-better-than-Calvin-Johnson talk

You guys are smoking crack if you think bringing in Titus Young is a good idea. Yeah, he's talented, but he's a dipshit.

BTW, don't we already have an older version of him w/o the mouth piece on the roster already?

So, you'd rather we bring in Jamarcus Russel ?

I'll take Titus Young ONLY if we get JaMarcus Russell and get Lawrence Phillips out of prison to play for us. Any other way and there's no deal.

No No No No. Bottom line is hes a cancer.

I'm so confused...:doh!:

If Andy wants to put up with his shit, sure. But it would be better I think to let him crash and burn and be unemployed for a bit to get his act together then sign him.

Dude is a loon.

It would suck to see him get his shit together for say a team like the Fade or Chargers who don't have a clear cut #1 WR & tear it up against us twice a year.

We're gonna have another 2nd round CB so it won't matter.

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

The Rams claimed WR Titus Young, who was waived by the Lions on Monday.

teamed back up with austin pettis. nice.. But damn would have been nice to steal him

We could have had him, we were first in line. Must have just not been interested.

we passed right over him lol

over/under how many times this thread gets bumped next year?


each time Young makes a catch


imagine what will happen if Young ever scores a touchdown.

unbelievable we didn't even give him a shot, our WR corps is worse than the rams w/o bowe

Time to start the 'Wrong 53'.

Jeff Fisher never learns. Why is he not a Raider HC?

And we'll go through this with every slapdick that gets cut...We aren't missing shit.

We don't need any WR's. we got Baldwin. Dude is a stud.

Troll.

At least an AFC West team didn't snatch him up.:doh!:

Rams were the ONLY team to put in a claim for him.. every other team passed.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...d-titus-young/

LOL Did gochiefss just compare him to moss? Were you born yesterday boy?

This is right on. If a team even thinks about this they need a strong veteran roster. We are talking about just a bad attitude. This guy tried to sabotage his team. I love the people that use Reid and TO as an example. Yeah, that ended well lol

That's the first good move by this new regime. You are most likely going to have a you g QB going through growing pains. You don't need a dickhead whose worrying about padding his stats. Detroit has some serious character problems on that team that they have given multiple chances. Them cutting him speaks volumes to me

the fact a Titus Young thread got 150+ replies sickens me

it's Titus ****ing Young.

who gives a shit?

No way. This years draft is very deep at WR.

Jeff Fishers biggest weakness?

He's never met a troublemaking malcontent he didnt want on his team.

:titus::titus::titus::titus::titus::titus::titus:

Whatever happened to Titus?

This.

Look who's back in the news.

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6533/titus-young

"Free agent WR Titus Young was arrested and charged with battery causing serious bodily injury in Los Angeles on July 9.
Details of the incident remain unknown, but it's a felony. Young, 25 next month, is in custody in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in L.A., and his bail has been set at $105,000. On July 10, Young was set to make a pretrial appearance in Newport Beach, Ca., where he's facing four felonies and seven other charges. Young's life has spiralled out of control. His football playing career is kaput."
