@PaulKuharskyNFL: Baltimore offensive lineman Michael Oher is visiting the #Titans today.
Would prefer Strief
Me too. Oher is a bit younger and had an ankle last year. However, Strief is solid in pass pro.

Supposedly they inquired to Strief, but he 1) wants a lot of $$ and 2) doesn't want to leave NO. So I think they aren't going to sit and wait for him and miss out on other options. I know it drives us (the fans crazy), but they are taking the right approach this year. Go get the biggest need (LT) first and right away and then let the overpaying happen for other positions and get the best talent at the best value. This will keep us in decent cap shape and still get/keep quality guys. Teams like the Raiders and Bucs are spending a lot of their cap on high priced FA's, but we'll see how that pans out for them this year!
They Spoke to Strief again yesterday, NO have no money to pay anyone atm
Good, I hope there is genuine interest by both sides. As I'd hate to bring in a guy that's not happy about having to come here because he didn't have any other options. I just get the feeling he's stalling in hopes that NO can free up some money for him or if has to give them a big discount to stay. We have been used far too often in the past to set the market for the home team or others. Just hope Hickey is smart enough not to get played like our last GM seemed to be.

The #Colts are closing in on a deal for WR Hakeem Nicks, per source.
