Getty ImagesWide receiver Kenny Britt’s offseason got off on the wrong foot thanks to his initial unwillingness to participate in a police investigation of a shooting and stabbing, an unwelcome reminder to the Titans of how often Britt finds himself in hot water with law enforcement.
Britt’s also been injured a lot during his four years with the Titans, a combination that makes it hard to commit to him for the long-term as he enters the final year of his contract. That’s led Titans General Manager Ruston Webster to make the determination that a lot of other people have probably made about Britt’s status for the 2013 season.
“We expect all our guys to take care of themselves off the field and do the right things in those situations, plus on the field get themselves ready to play,” Webster said, via Terry McCormick of TitansInsider.com. “Kenny had a tough year just bouncing back from injuries but I think he is on the spot to produce this year.”
You can’t argue with that take on the situation and Britt will have plenty of company on that spot. Webster, coach Mike Munchak and plenty of other members of the Titans organization are going to risk losing their jobs if they don’t step things up in 2013.

He’s always going to be trouble. Years from now we’ll be ready his sad life story. How he blew all his money and ended up broke … in jail … you know the drill.
The nfl has a lot of really good receivers. What is often stopping them from joining the elite is one of two things: trouble with the law or injuries.
In Kenny britt’s case, it’s both.
It’s just Kenny being a Kenny.
“We expect all our guys to take care of themselves off the field and do the right things in those situations, plus on the field get themselves ready to play,”….you know, like Pacman
10 bucks says he does awesome weeks 1 through 3 or 4; then messes up a knee or shoulder… .better yet, a pinky finger
For what it’s worth, Titans fans have already given up hope of Britt ever living up to his potential. He’s just too stupid and injury prone.
The unfortunate part is, people who have met him say he’s a really nice kid…..humble and down to earth. He’s just too friggin’ dumb to keep himself out of harm’s way.
This team, maybe more than any other, needs a “head” coach as well as a Head Coach — someone to teach these guys how to not be the next Titus Young.
Or the next Vince Young.
He should play for the Ravens
The post also reports that Britt was unwilling to “participate” in a police investigation. I think that should read “cooperate,” I mean what’s he supposed to do, look for clues?
THAT knucklehead needs to be cut and soon!! Just a freakin waste of talent!!
Send his butt home and let him see how the real world lives!!
