Prince Amukamara

Prince Amukamara is another solid, but not great, option for the Tennessee Titans.

Amukamara has been in the league since 2011. He was drafted by the New York Giants and played there for five seasons, winning a Super Bowl with the team in his rookie year.

The stats aren’t eye-popping for Amukamara — he had 49 tackles and 0 interceptions last season — but he’s still a quality cornerback, when he’s healthy.

And that, of course, is the caveat in signing Amukarama — will he be able to stay healthy?

Amukamara has only played 16 games in a season once in his career (2013, though it’s worth nothing he had a career high three interceptions in only 8 games in 2014).

Last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Amukamara played in 14 games, starting 12 of them.

Amukamara recently told ESPN that he felt he proved he was durable last season and “I can play this game if I’m healthy”.

That’s a big if.

If the Titans knew they were getting a player that would give them 16 games a season, then signing Amukamara would be a no brainer.

But unfortunately, there’s no way to know if that would be the case.

Still, signing the former Nebraska Cornhusker might end up being the most economical option (he will probably be in the $8-9 million range) for the Titans.
