Coach Mike Munchak said Nate Washington is "very much" in the Titans' plans.
"He is our leader," Munchak said. "We know how thin that position can get real quickly, and we have a good group to watch. Nate is very much in our plans." The Titans have spent a ton of money, but they're still not in a position where they need to shed Washington's $4.2 million salary. Also, the team is in win-now mode as GM Ruston Webster and Munchak try to save their jobs. Washington remains an unlikely candidate for significant 2013 fantasy value as he vies for targets with Kenny Britt, Kendall Wright, Justin Hunter, and Delanie Walker. Jun 16 - 12:57 PM

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Titans GM Ruston Webster insists he has "no plans" to deal Nate Washington.

Washington's disappointing 2012 and $4.2 million salary have made him a popular target of trade speculation, but Webster is apparently content to go into 2013 with Washington behind Kenny Britt and Kendall Wright on the depth chart. We'd suspect Washington is probably still available for the price, perhaps a fifth- or sixth-round pick. Even if Washington makes it through the summer on the roster, he could be a "surprise" release at final cuts.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

ESPN's Paul Kuharsky passes along "word" that Nate Washington fell out of favor with the Titans' coaching staff when he "gave half-hearted effort" over the final month of last season.

Washington managed just eight catches for 113 yards and no touchdowns in the final month, although this sounds like something that goes behind box scores and game-day performance. Washington has zero chance of playing 2013 on his scheduled $4.2 million salary. We expect him to be released in the near future.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

A source with knowledge of the situation told Titan Insider that Nate Washington would rather be released than traded.

Washington is a borderline starting-caliber NFL receiver and no one would trade for the $9 million-plus left on his contract, anyway. Washington apparently believes he could make more money on the free-agent market, and we wouldn't doubt it considering the shortage of halfway decent receivers available. If the Titans sign free agent Brandon Gibson, Washington will likely get his wish.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Sources tell NFL.com that the Titans are shopping WR Nate Washington.

Washington is a gritty veteran and team leader, but he's owed $4.2 million in base salary. It's a lot to pay someone that will play behind both Kenny Britt and Kendall Wright. Tennessee has also been linked to Danny Amendola. If the Titans can salvage a late-round pick for Washington, they'd be doing very well.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington caught one ball for 21 yards in the Titans' Week 17 win over Jacksonville.

Washington finishes up the 2012 season with 46 catches for 746 yards and four touchdowns, predictably failing to build on his stat line of 74-1,023-7 from 2011. Washington turns 30 before next season and has settled in as a role-playing deep threat with some big-play ability but little consistency to his game. For instance, he dropped a surefire 84-yard touchdown in Sunday's Week 17 loss. We'd tentatively expect Washington's stats to dip for a third straight season in 2013 as Kendall Wright enters his second year and Kenny Britt returns healthier.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington caught two passes for 15 yards as the Titans fell to the Packers in Week 16.

Jake Locker was off the mark throughout the afternoon, allowing Washington to secure just two of his six targets. With Kendall Wright tentatively expected to return from his rib injury in Week 17, Washington can expect a similar target total when the Titans face the Jaguars to close out the season.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington led the Titans with four catches for 62 yards against the Jets in Week 15 on Monday night.

Kenny Britt was shut down by Antonio Cromartie on one side of the field, so Washington led the team with his six targets. He's purely a down-the-seam threat and isn't a frequent end zone visitor, so Washington isn't any more than a WR4 in fantasy. The Titans will travel to Green Bay in Week 16.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington caught just one pass for 15 yards in Week 14 versus the Colts.

Washington was targeted seven times on the day, but he couldn't do anything with the passes. Jake Locker missed him on one end zone throw in the first half, as well. A boom-or-bust type receiver, Washington is no more than a WR4.
Sun, Dec 9, 2012 05:45:00 PM
Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington caught three passes for a game-high 96 yards in Week 13 versus the Texans.

Washington was targeted six times on the day and had a long reception of 49 yards. It was his second time topping 70 yards this season. After 12 games, Washington is on pace to catch 50 passes for a team-high 844 yards and five touchdowns. He's no more than a WR4 with a big game every once in a while.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington led the Titans with 54 yards on four receptions and a team-high nine targets at Jacksonville in Week 12.

A typical Washington stat line. He had a chance for a touchdown on a fine throw by Jake Locker, but bobbled the ball until his foot stepped out of bounds. With just one game over 70 yards all season, Washington can be dropped in 12-team leagues in favor of high-upside backup running backs.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington caught one pass for five yards in the Titans' Week 10 win over the Dolphins.

Washington started opposite Kenny Britt, but was a total non-factor. He ended up with just two targets as Jake Locker sprayed the ball all over the field. With the running game turning up, Washington won't be a quality fantasy option when the Titans come out of their bye.
Sun, Nov 11, 2012 04:25:00 PM
Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington didn't finish Friday's Titans practice due to an illness, but is listed as probable for Week 10.

The Titans' beat writers don't seem concerned. Washington was listed as "limited" and a late addition to the injury report. Fantasy owners thinking about starting Washington against the Dolphins can use this as a tiebreaker to look elsewhere. He wouldn't have been a good fantasy play in the first place.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington caught two passes for 35 yards in Tennessee's embarrassing Week 9 loss to the Bears.

Washington's 30-yard score in the third quarter was one of the Titans' lone highlights in a 51-20 loss. Working the sideline, Washington skied over CB Tim Jennings' tight coverage to win a one-on-one in the end zone. Washington's catches were his only two targets, however. On pace for a 53/850/7 line with nine games in the books, Washington is a pure WR3.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Nate Washington is on the Week 9 injury report with a knee issue, but practicing in full.

He'll be fine for Sunday. Averaging a 3.5/55.4/0.4 line, Washington is an acceptable, if low-end, WR3.
