WitP: Mouton, Estes

Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean writes that this is a huge offseason for Ryan Mouton.

Ryan Mouton is one of the players I'm looking forward to watching most on Thursday when the Titans open practice to media for the first time this offseason.

The practice won’t be in pads, of course. And at this time of the year, things aren’t as lively as they are in training camp. But this is a huge offseason for Mouton, a third round draft pick last season.

There's plenty of competition for the starting spot opposite Cortland Finnegan, from veterans Rod Hood and Tye Hill to second-year pro Jason McCourty to rookie Alterraun Verner.

I believe Mouton has the best chance of them all to win the job.

And Jason Anderson of The Record talks to John Estes about signing with Jacksonville after not getting drafted.

"It's the same old story for me, just being underappreciated or overlooked," said Estes, who will fly to Jacksonville tonight and report Friday for this weekend's minicamp. "That's how I got to Hawaii, and I had a pretty good career there, so hopefully I can do the same thing in the NFL."

Estes was not invited to the NFL combine and pulled a hamstring during his pro-day workout, neither of which helped his draft stock. Still, Estes said several teams remained interested, and the Jaguars told him they think he can make the team as a backup to veteran starting center Brad Meester.
