Kenny Britt Arrest Ignites Further Questions Whether Titans Receiver Is in the Game

Tennessee Titans receiver Kenny Britt was arrested in New Jersey on Tuesday after an officer reported seeing him speeding,

According to Bayonne Police Chief Robert Kubert, via ESPN, Britt was clocked driving his blue Porsche at 71 mph in a 50-mph zone, then drove away from officers.

After being spotted walking away from his car on a side street, Britt denied being in the car, then denied driving it before finally admitting he was behind the wheel.

He's being charged with eluding the officer, hindering apprehension and obstructing governmental function.

In just two years in the NFL, Britt has been arrested and fined for outstanding traffic warrants, was involved in a civil litigation for allegedly not paying a bail bond, has been ticketed for not driving with a license and was accused of being part of a bar fight in Nashville.

Britt has amassed over 700 receiving yards in each of his first two years, including 775 yards and nine touchdowns in 2010, but you have to wonder if his transgressions off the field will at some point become a distraction for not only him but the team.

This is nothing new for the organization. You name it, Albert Haynesworth, Vince Young, the team might as well be called the Tennessee Character Concerns.

There comes a time, like with Haynesworth and Young, that you have to think about letting a player go if they can't stay out of trouble, in one way or another.

For a team trying to rebound after a fractured year, where apparently no one was on board, this certainly isn't great news for the struggling organization.

In addition to the swirling discord, there are numerous positions on the field the Titans have to fill.

You can only give someone so many second chances; after a while, you start to realize getting into trouble has become a habit for this guy.

How much more can the Titans take?
