[tps_title]Alterraun Verner, Tennessee Titans[/tps_title]
There’s a lot to like about Alterraun Verner. He’s just 25 and he led all the guys you’re going to see in this post in interceptions in 2013 with five. Ditto for passes defended. Verner had 22. He also had 57 tackles and an interception return for a TD in 2013.
It’s probably fair to say this guy can tackle pretty well, too. He registered 101 tackles as a rookie in 2010. He had 81 in 2012.
Verner, who was a Pro Bowler and second-team All Pro in 2013, can play inside or outside and would make a pretty nice replacement for Shields. The question is whether the Packers can afford him.
Actually, with $30-plus million in cap space, they can. The question is whether they’ll be willing to afford him.
