The Nashville Tennessean reports the Titans are not expected to re-sign free agent MLB Barrett Ruud. Ruud was badly outplayed by rookie Colin McCarthy down the stretch last season, and landed on injured reserve in December with a groin injury. He underwent shoulder surgery in January. One of the league's worst linebackers before going down last season, Ruud says he "absolutely" has not considered retirement.
