Patriots agreed to terms with WR Lavelle Hawkins to a two-year contract.
A fourth-round pick of the Titans in 2008, Hawkins managed just 71 catches over five seasons and was replaced by Kevin Walter. In New England, he'll battle fellow castoffs Donald Jones and Michael Jenkins for a roster spot. Contract details aren't yet available, but we wouldn't expect any guaranteed money. Hawkins isn't a real threat to projected starting "X" receiver Aaron Dobson. May 9 - 12:03 PM

Titans released WR Lavelle Hawkins.

He became expendable following the signing of Kevin Walter, which says a lot about where Hawkins' career has gone. He was owed $1.9 million. Hawkins was active just seven times last season, and has only 71 catches for 771 yards through 52 career games. He offered little on special teams in 2012. The former fourth-round pick will try to latch on elsewhere and compete for a final receiver spot. Nate Washington could be the next veteran wideout to go in Tennessee.

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins' roster spot is in danger following the addition of Kevin Walter.

Hawkins has a $1.9 million base salary, nearly $1 million more than Walter's 2013 pay. The Titans have never gotten much receiving production from Hawkins, and he didn't help on special teams last season, either. It's possible that the Titans will part with both Hawkins and Nate Washington before the draft.

Lavelle Hawkins - WR - Patriots

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins was a healthy scratch last week while practice squad call-up Michael Preston filled in for Damian Williams (hamstring).

The Titans opted to play Preston as a reward for stellar play in practices and because he's a better fit in at the "X" position. Hawkins has just four receptions after signing a three-year, $7.2 million contract last February. Kendall Wright's addition has made him superfluous.

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins anticipates having to deal with ankle pain all season.

Hawkins played on the injured ankle late last season before re-aggravating the ligament during Monday's practice. The 26-year-old Hawkins was signed to a three-year extension in February and, despite being buried on the depth chart, figures to stick as the team's No. 5 receiver.

Lavelle Hawkins - WR - Patriots

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins' new three-year deal is worth $7.2 million, and includes a $2 million signing bonus.

It's a nice haul for a player who had made just 19 catches in three seasons coming into 2011. Hawkins is still unlikely to be anything more than the Titans' No. 4 receiver in 2012, however. His fantasy value remains limited to deeper PPR leagues.

Lavelle Hawkins - WR - Patriots

Titans re-signed WR Lavelle Hawkins to a three-year contract.

Hawkins, who turns 26 in July, finished the 2011 season with career highs in receptions (47) and yards (470), though he's averaged under 11 yards per catch in his career and with just one touchdown in four years. Hawkins should enter 2012 as the Titans' fourth receiver behind Kenny Britt, Nate Washington, and Damian Williams. The club values Hawkins because he can play all three receiver positions and contribute on special teams coverage.

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins caught three balls for 19 yards in the team's Week 17 win over the Texans.

He wraps up the season with career highs on receptions (47) and yards (470), moving into the No. 3 receiver role after Kenny Britt's early season-ending ACL injury. Hawkins has never taken the next step toward being NFL starter-caliber, however, and is an impending free agent. The Titans will probably be interested in re-signing him at a low rate.

Coach Mike Munchak did not express concern Monday over Lavelle Hawkins' ankle injury.

Hawkins appears to be recovering well, according to Munchak. It sounds like there's a chance he could serve as the No. 3 receiver against the Texans Sunday. The Titans need a win and help to steal a Wild Card spot in the AFC playoffs.

Titans third receiver Lavelle Hawkins played 54-of-76 snaps in Week 15 compared to 75 for Damian Williams and 68 for Nate Washington.

Hawkins' season-highs of eight catches and 88 yards were an aberration due to the Titans playing from behind at Indy. Tennessee passed on a whopping 51 of Hawkins' 54 snaps, which won't happen again. Don't bother picking up Hawkins for Week 16.

Lavelle Hawkins - WR - Patriots

Lavelle Hawkins caught eight passes for 88 yards against the Colts in Week 15.

Hawkins finished with more targets and receiving yards than Damian Williams. He has minimal fantasy value going forward and would only be worth consideration in deeper leagues if Nate Washington (ankle, back) is out for next week's game.

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins confirmed he will play through his finger dislocation.

Hawkins say a bone poking through the skin in his right index finger during last week's game against the Bengals, but kept playing. He'll serve as the No. 3 receiver once again this week.

Lavelle Hawkins - WR - Patriots

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins dislocated his index finger in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati, but had his best statistical game this year with a team-high five receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown.

Hawkins conceded that the finger was "numb" after the game, but it's probably not a long-term injury. Of course, it won't help Hawkins' chances of earning a bigger role going forward, nor will his disastrous two-minute drill to end the game. He had a false start causing a 10-second runoff, a fumble (recovered by TEN), and on the game's final desperation play he refused to lateral to his open teammates.

The Titans may give WR Lavelle Hawkins a bigger role in 2011.

"I know (OC) Chris Palmer is pretty excited about him, so I think he may have the opportunity this year to really get on the field a little bit more," GM Mike Reinfeldt said on Friday. Hawkins was active just six times in 2010, reeling in five catches. The owner of 19 catches in three seasons, he's unlikely to ever break out.
