Titans Agree to Terms with Former Chiefs DE Ropati Pitoitua
Titans Agree to Terms with Former Chiefs DE Ropati Pitoitua
Posted 19 minutes ago NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with former Chiefs DE Ropati Pitoitua (pronounced ROE-pot-ee Puh-TOE-uh-two-ah). “Ropati gives us the big body we were looking for at the defensive end position. He has a played a number of games and been productive,” Titans general manager Ruston Webster said. “He should be an asset for us in the run game at end and also could give us flexibility on game days with the ability to kick inside for some snaps.” A four-year veteran, Pitoitua (6-foot-8, 315 pounds) has 37 games of NFL experience with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs. In his only season with Kansas City last year, he started 10 games (15 games played) and led all Chiefs defensive linemen in tackles with 32. He also added two sacks, five tackles for loss and one forced fumble. Pitoitua spent his first three seasons with the New York Jets and registered 22 games of experience. In his rookie season, he played in eight games but missed the entire 2010 season with an Achilles injury. In his final season with the Jets, he played in 14 games with 19 tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack. Pitoitua originally joined the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2009 from Washington State, where he played in 36 games and totaled 116 sacks, 19 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks. |

Not heartbroken, but I liked him as a player. If Sutton didn't push them to re-sign, however, it might tell you something about his place in this system.

Oh Nooooo! First Maneri now Ropati. My two favorite reserves on both sides of the ball.

This is why Tennessee has been irrelevant. They have been signing KC DL castoffs.

Yeah I thought Ropati earned a spot with serious playing time, however. He wasn't going to get that with DeVito, Jackson, and Bailey. (Said the same guy who said he wouldn't get serious playing time with Dorsey, Jackson, and Bailey last year.)

He performed better than Dorsey and Jackson in his limited playing time.

I'm a bit surprised by this. He wasn't a star, but he seemed serviceable in an area where we have zero depth.
Plus, I really liked saying 'Ropati Pitoitua". For some reason it rolls off my tongue very mellifluously.
