Free agent safety George Wilson liked what he saw and heard from the Titans during his visit earlier this week.
He could see himself playing for the team in 2013, in fact, after spending time with defensive coordinator Jerry Gray and senior assistant Gregg Williams, along with head coach Mike Munchak.
I definitely think it is a good fit with everything Jerry Gray and Coach Williams envisions for the defense next season, Wilson said. They want to take the defense a step further by adding some veteran leadership and depth at positions and they certainly expressed a desire to have me as a piece of their puzzle.
They made it quite clear what they are looking for from me, and I think I fit the bill for what they are looking for as well.
Wilson, who spent the past eight years with the Buffalo Bills, isnt quite ready to make a decision yet, however.
Wilson visited the Lions on Thursday, one day after visiting the Titans. He expects his agent to talk with other teams at the NFL Combine next week in Indianapolis.
I certainly dont want to make a decision before I know what all my options are. This is my first time to experience free agency, said Wilson, who was released by Buffalo on Monday. Wilson is from Paducah, Ky., and he played football at Arkansas, where he was teammates with Titans offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains.
I am very pleased with my visits so far, but Tennessee is close to home. I have a lot of family in the Nashville area close to Paducah, he said. I am not going to rush it, but I would definitely like to make a decision so I can find a home.
