It's Official: Randy Moss is a Titan


You read the title correctly. No need to adjust your computer monitor.

Despite 21 other teams having a shot at Randy Moss on the waiver wire before the Titans, Moss is still the newest addition to the Tennessee Titans.

Saying that I'm completely shocked right now would be an understatement. I never saw this coming.

According to multiple sources, the Titans were the only team to put in a waiver claim for Moss. That's shocking in itself.

So now the question is how Moss fits into this offense that is historically, run first and pass short. With Moss on the roster, we're obviously going to see the Titans go deep more often than we're accustomed to.

Even though Moss has major character issues, it's hard to argue with the move. It's instantly going to free up running room for Chris Johnson, who has struggled finding lanes all season.

It also will allow for my space to work in the middle of the field for guys like Bo Scaife and Damian Williams.

With it still unknown how long Kenny Britt will be out for his hamstring injury, this move makes even more sense.

Hopefully the trash of the Patriots and the Vikings will prove to be the Titans' treasure.

The key to this move being a success will depend on whether or not Jeff Fisher can appease Moss, which is something that Brad Childress failed to do with the Vikings.

The Titans still have five division games remaining, including two games each against the Texans and the Colts. Both the Colts and the Texans have high-powered offenses and questionable defenses.
