Titans Add Low-Risk, High-Reward WR off Waivers

The Tennessee Titans have had by far and away one of the busiest offseasons of any NFL team this year. Hiring Robert Saleh was only the first domino to fall in a successive line of moves that, from every viewing angle, should better the franchise - both on the field and the sidelines.

Yet, as Cam Ward gears up to lead the team into a more successful future (hopefully), not every move is a seismic shift geared towards his climb. The Titans are trying to improve on every level and, now and again, that means bolstering the bench.

Per Jim Wyatt, the Titans have claimed wide receiver Courtney Jackson off waivers, releasing Hal Presley in the exchange. Jackson, while not having logged any real-time stats, is a 25-year old pass-catcher with potential upside.

A Low-Risk Grab

In his final two years of collegiate football at Arkansas State, Jackson put up nine touchdowns and over 1,000 yards combined. After starting his career without much luck at Syracuse, Jackson finally found success by pivoting to a smaller school prior to his professional jump.

And, in spite of going undrafted initially, the receiver was signed by the Denver Broncos and given a shot to compete. After that opportunity fell out, short stints with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants paved the way for his newfound gig in Nashville.
