The Titans are making a play for him, but it's the NFL, all the Lions have to do is make a bigger play for him, assuming they want him bad enough.

The Iggles haven't stopped talking to other teams just because they have talks with Tennessee. They take the Titans offer, and call all the other teams back and say "We have an offer for..." fill in the blank, and see if anyone wants to beat it.

I don't think it's going to happen. Word is that Tennessee is offering a 3rd round pick for Asante, and other teams aren't willing to take on his contract for better than that. Since the Lions have a lower pick than the Titans, we'd have to offer a 2nd to beat them out.

If Asante restructured to a cap friendly number first for say three years, then maybe. But as it, I doubt it.

Then again, according to this, the Titans are denying offering a 3rd rounder for him.

If he restructures to a nice cap figure, I wouldn't mind sending a 3rd for the guy.

Lions can't do shit until they sign Avril long term.
