The Titans made a big move today, giving cornerback Jason McCourty a 5 year, 43 million dollar extension with 20 million guaranteed. With him taken care of, the Titans have turned their attention to tight end Jared Cook, according to noted Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean. Cook, a 2009 3rd round pick, is heading into a contract year.

Jared Cook had a breakout year in 2011, catching 49 passes for 759 yards and 3 touchdowns and was even better in his final 3 games, catching 21 passes for 335 yards and a score. He can definitely reproduce those numbers or exceed them in his 4th season in the league in 2012. If the Titans can’t extend him before the season, they could definitely franchise tag him in 202, especially since the franchise tag value for tight ends was the lowest of the non-special teamers in 2012, just 5.4 million. They’ll have the franchise tag freed up now after the McCourty deal.
