Despite earlier false reports, Al Woods has apparently been signed by the Tennessee Titans. This time, it appears to be for real, and has been confirmed by a credible Titans beat reporter.

The #Titans have agreed to terms with Steelers defensive lineman Al Woods

The details of the contract are not available as of yet, so it’s hard to speculate as to whether or not Woods left for money, or for a better chance at starting (or both). Losing Woods isn’t the end of the world, but it certainly makes the potential lack of defensive line depth a more serious issue.

I’ll provide an update with his contract details when they become available.

Updating the previous article that reported Al Woods was rumored to have signed with the Titans, Tennessee beat writer Jim Wyatt refutes that rumor, stating the Titans have in fact not signed Al Woods.

According to Wyatt, the Titans have no deal in place with him, and he still has visits scheduled with the Packers and Cardinals this week.

It’s possible the Steelers underestimated the interest he would garner on the market, and they’ll now make a push to sign him. It’s also possible that he’s not part of the Steelers plans moving forward. The Steelers will not get into a bidding war for him, though. That much is pretty certain.

According to Ed Bouchette of the Post-Gazette, free agent defensive lineman Al Woods is signing with the Tennessee Titans. This hasn’t been officially announced or confirmed yet, so it is considered a rumor at this point.

Woods provides solid depth at the NT and DE positions. Positions that already seriously lacks depth on the Steelers roster. Stay tuned for updates as they happen.

Steelers free agent defensive lineman Al Woods is scheduled to meet with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday according to Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean. Since the Titans recently hired Ray Horton as their defensive coordinator, it should be expected that they will be making plays at 3-4 defensive linemen during free agency.

Woods was drafted in the 4th round by the Saints in 2010. He bounced around from practice squad to practice squad earlier in his career, but has shown that he’s a solid contributor, who is extremely versatile on the defensive line.

I expected the Steelers would try to retain Woods, but he’ll have to come cheap. We’ll have to wait and see what comes of the meeting with the Titans.

Mark Kaboly of the Tribune Review reports that Al Woods has been fined $7,875.00 by the NFL for a face mask penalty he received during the Vikings game. The penalty occurred while Woods was tackling Adrian Peterson during the 5th play of the opening drive last Sunday.
