Titans officially ink Cook

TE Jared Cook, a third-round pick out of South Carolina, has officially signed with the Titans. Cook has agreed to a four-year deal worth around $2.45 million that includes a signing bonus around $700,000,  which was first reported by the Tennessean on July 2.

Cook is getting a crash course in professionalism, courtesy of veteran TE Alge Crumpler.

"Crump is like a coach. Crump has been around the league for a long time," Cook said in June. "He has a lot of wisdom to share. Every time I come off, he'll tell me the little things that I need to correct, which is very helpful in the meeting rooms when we're watching the field. It's just day by day, he's always in my head, helping me. It's just great to have somebody like that around."

Crumpler is happy to help the rookie the same way Reggie Kelly and Brian Kozlowski helped break him in with Crumpler was a rookie with the Atlanta Falcons.

"I'd do it for anybody, but he's got special talent, and in order for him to reach that full potential, it's important that he attacks this game as a professional every single day," Crumpler said.
