Titans released S Jordan Babineaux.
It was an expected move after the Titans signed George Wilson. One of the league's worst safeties in 2012, Babineaux was benched twice as the Titans struggled for answers on defense. On the wrong side of 30, he'll find the market cruel. Mar 12 - 3:53 PM

The Nashville Tennessean believes the Titans could "choose to part" with SS Jordan Babineaux.

The 30-year-old was benched multiple times in 2012, and played just 73 of a possible 152 snaps over the Titans' final two games. Set to make $1.6 million in 2013, Babineaux graded out as one of the league's worst safeties in Pro Football Focus' ratings. The Titans have a potential in-house replacement in Al Afalava, but the 2009 sixth-rounder would certainly face competition for Babineaux's job if he's cut loose.

Titans SS Jordan Babineaux was benched for the second time in the past month during Sunday's Week 12 loss to Jacksonville.

Babineaux was responsible for Cecil Shorts' 59-yard touchdown catch. He was replaced by Robert Johnson. "I didn’t make the play," Babineaux acknowledged, professionally. "The coach is the one who makes the move, and what can you do? RoJo went in and I had a conversation with him about what to expect."

Newly minted starter Jordan Babineaux played every snap at strong safety in the Titans' Week 3 win over the Lions.

Robert Johnson was benched and Michael Griffin kicked to free safety. Although coach Mike Munchak said the job will be open to competition "weekly," this is their best lineup. Michael Griffin was way out of his league trying to play strong safety, and Johnson wasn't making enough of a difference back deep. Babineaux had five tackles and two pass breakups against the Lions.

Jordan Babineaux is starting over Robert Johnson at strong safety for the Titans in Week 3.

The Titans have had some of the worst safety play in the league so far in 2012, so head coach Mike Munchak is handing the reins back over to Babineaux, who led the team in tackles last season. Babineaux is an IDP to monitor.

Titans S Jordan Babineaux has played just 31 snaps in the team's first two games.

He led the team in tackles last year. The Titans promoted Robert Johnson into the starting lineup at free safety and moved Michael Griffin to strong safety, demoting Babineaux at the end of training camp. It was a surprising move after they signed him to a new two-year, $5 million deal in March. It also hasn't worked out well so far. Johnson and Griffin are getting smoked in coverage.

Titans agreed to terms with SS Jordan Babineaux on a two-year, $5 million contract.

The Titans can't officially re-sign Babineaux until the start of free agency because he played under a "minimum salary benefit" contract in 2011, but was always expected to return to Tennessee. Babineaux exceeded expectations after signing a one-year deal in August, starting 14 games while making 93 tackles and one interception. Along with franchise player Michael Griffin, he'll form one half of the Titans' safety battery in 2012. Free agent Chris Hope is unlikely to be re-signed.

The Titans are reportedly close to a long-term extension with free agent SS Jordan Babineaux.

The sides can't sign off on the deal until March 13, but Babineaux is fully expected back in Nashville. With Michael Griffin sporting the franchise tag, the Titans can address the rest of their roster with both safety spots lined up.

The Titans are in long-term contract talks with free agent S Jordan Babineaux.

The Titans can't formally sign Babineaux until after the free agency period because they exercised an option in his 2011 contract to lower his cap number. However, they are clearly interested in retaining him. The sides could get a deal worked out in principle before March 13. Babineaux just can't officially sign on the dotted line until that date.
Mon, Feb 20, 2012 01:24:00 PM

The Titans are now using a rotation at strong safety of Jordan Babineaux and Chris Hope.

"We made more of an effort to get Chris in there," Titans coach Mike Munchak said of Hope's increased role against Buffalo in Week 13. Hope was credited with four tackles (all solo), while the starter Babineaux managed just two (one solo). This has become a situation to avoid in IDP leagues.
Mon, Dec 5, 2011 03:54:00 PM

Although Chris Hope has returned from his broken forearm, the Titans will stick with Jordan Babineaux as their starting strong safety.

Hope returned last Sunday, but was limited to roughly 30 snaps. Coach Mike Munchak plans to go with a similar rotation in Week 11. Babineaux's 61 tackles are second on the Titans.

Titans signed S Jordan Babineaux to a one-year contract.

A versatile defender, the player once known as "Big Play Babs" in Seattle has experience as a starter at both safety positions and as a slot cornerback. He'll push Vincent Fuller for playing time, presumably, while trying to make an impact on special teams. Babineaux had 12 special teams tackles last season.
Thu, Aug 4, 2011 03:13:00 PM

The Tacoma News Tribune believes free agent S Jordan Babineaux is "likely moving on."

With the exception of the playoff loss to the Bears, "Big Play Babs" held his own as a third safety last season. Beat writer Eric Williams cites the past two drafts with Kam Chancellor and Mark LeGree as reason enough for the Seahawks to part ways.
Thu, Jul 21, 2011 10:55:00 PM

Seahawks' safety Jordan Babineaux logged 1.5 sacks (including one for a safety), a forced fumble and three tackles in a Week 6 win at Chicago.

Chicago backup RT J'Marcus Webb was overmatched and exploited as the Seahawks' defense dialed up safety blitzes on the right side throughout the game, and Jay Cutler was sacked six times. Babineaux and the 'Hawks head home to face rookie QB Max Hall and the Cardinals Week 7.

Seahawks re-signed S Jordan Babineaux.

He takes the roster spot of DT Craig Terrill, who was released on Tuesday. The Seahawks bolstered the defensive line with the addition of Junior Siavii, but they'd be without a backup at free safety without Babineaux. He's returning at a drastically reduced rate.
