The battle for the Crump 03.14.10 at 1:13 am ET
By Christopher Price

Faced with the prospect of losing tight end Alge Crumpler to the Patriots in free agency, it sounds like the Titans are stepping their game up.

The Patriots hosted the 32-year-old Crumpler on a free agent visit at Gillette Stadium last Monday, but according to The Tennessean, discussions between the Titans and the unrestricted free agent tight end are expected to continue this week. New England is expected to put the full-court press of its own on Crumpler, as they have lost tight end Benjamin Watson to Cleveland in free agency and released tight end Chris Baker last month.

Known primarily as a blocker, Crumpler had 27 receptions for 222 yards and a touchdown for the Titans last season.

    Hey if he signs great if not no biggie. He’s 32 and he’s really only a blocking TE. The Patriots sign him and the need for a TE in the Draft will still be there. So he can be a piece of the puzzle. Watch and see if the Patriots bring in Steve Heiden for a look see sometime within the next week also. This is a big opportunity for Agnone and Myers from the Practice Squad to show their stuff during the OTA’s..

    Alge Crumpler…hmmmmmm. Did Mike Ditka and John Mackey refuse thier offers? I’m sure we can find someone older than Crumpler if BB tries hard enough.

    Don’t worry about the Patriots signing Crump. The Patriots are moving at snail speed. Crump and all the other free agent tight ends before the
    Patriots pull the trigger on a deal.
