The Titans have no plans to re-sign free agent FB Ahmard Hall. |

Free agent FB Ahmard Hall said he doesn't think he's in the Titans' plans for 2012. |
Hall missed the first four games of the season due to suspension and sustained another concussion in Week 17. The Titans may want to upgrade the lead-blocker position after Chris Johnson averaged a career-low 3.99 yards per carry. |

Titans FB Ahmard Hall sustained a concussion in the season finale. |

Mon Oct 3 2011 | 18:07 | Titans get FB Hall back from 4-gm suspension |
Titans FB Ahmard Hall will return from his four-game suspension this week and likely regain his starting job. |
Hall missed the first month for violating the NFL's policy on PEDs, which he blamed on an over-the-counter stimulant taken to stay awake on a long drive. Hall didn't exactly set the world on fire last season, but replacement Quinn Johnson has graded out as the league's worst lead blocker through four games, according to Pro Football Focus. Hall's return could add another boost to a Titans running game that finally appears to be turning a corner. |

Sun Sep 4 2011 | 08:34 | Ahmard Hall blames stimulant for ban |
Suspended Titans FB Ahmard Hall blames his positive drug test on an over-the-counter stimulant he took to stay awake on a long drive. |
"I'm saying now I never took steroids and I never will," Hall said. "But it's up to the fans to believe me on that." Hall's excuse is plausible, but the onus is on the players to be aware of anything that might trigger a positive drug test. Hall can return to the Titans following their Week 4 game in Cleveland. |

Mon Aug 1 2011 | 19:07 | Titans bring back FB Ahmard Hall |
Titans agreed to terms with FB Ahmard Hall on a one-year contract. |
Along with the interior of the offensive line, Hall was a primary culprit in the Titans' lack of success on the ground last season. For Chris Johnson's sake, here's hoping Hall returns to 2009 form at age 31. |

Mon Aug 1 2011 | 17:45 | Texas interested in fullbacks Hall, Vickers |
In addition to Lawrence Vickers, the Titans are also interested in free agent FB Ahmard Hall. |
The Texans need a new fullback after losing Vonta Leach to the Ravens. Hall and Vickers brought up the rear in Pro Football Focus' run-blocking ratings last season, so Arian Foster's holes may not be as wide as they were with Leach leading the way. |

Mon Jul 25 2011 | 15:04 | Ahmard Hall plans to test the open market |
Free agent FB Ahmard Hall says he would prefer to retire a Titan, but still plans to test the open market. |
"I feel like this is my last chance to get a lucrative contract," Hall said. "I definitely want to stay here but I have to take care of my family and try and get the best deal I can get." Hall was once of the league's best lead blockers, but his performance fell off dramatically with the rest of the Titans' run blocking last year. Tennessee would be best served moving on. |

Wed Mar 2 2011 | 16:59 | Titans extend more tenders |
Titans extended restricted free agent tenders to FB Ahmard Hall, LB Patrick Bailey, OT Mike Otto, and LB Stephen Tulloch. |
Tulloch is the best player here, but like Hall, is likely to be unrestricted because he has four or more accrued seasons. Hall's massive drop-off in lead-blocking performance was one of the unsung reasons for Chris Johnson's relative struggles last year. He's entering his age-32 season and may be wearing down. Bailey is a special teamer. Otto is a swing tackle. |
