Terrance West to Titans: Latest Trade Details, Comments and Reaction

Terrance West wound up in head coach Mike Pettine's doghouse more often than he celebrated with the Dawg Pound in his abbreviated stint with the Cleveland Browns.

Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported that the Browns traded West to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, while NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added the trade was for a conditional seventh-rounder. The trade marks an abrupt end for West's time in Cleveland and yet another failed draft pick by the latest Browns regime.       

General manager Ray Farmer wheeled and dealed his way through his first draft in 2014, swinging trades to land Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel in the first round. Farmer also traded up to land West in the third round, and that appeared to be a solid investment when West was a rookie.

Despite previously playing against inferior college competition at Towson compared to many of his first-year NFL peers, West fared reasonably well en route to 673 yards rushing and four touchdowns last season.

But West also drew the ire of the coaching staff, was held out of several practices and deactivated at times as a result. The antics evidently outweighed the talent West seems to possess.

"I like the running backs," said Browns legend Jim Brown in May, per ESPNCleveland.com's Tony Grossi. "Unfortunately, West didn't seem to understand how to totally be a professional in the eyes of the coaches, which is a bad thing. It hurts his talent."

This trade presumably paves the way for Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson to serve as the one-two punch in the Browns backfield. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler alluded to how Johnson is key in ensuring West's departure doesn't sting even further:

The Browns and Farmer will continue to be in hot water until or unless their compensation received for West turns into something valuable. Cleveland's 2014 draft class looks even worse with the bad beginnings from Gilbert and Manziel now that West has been shipped out of town.

Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean highlighted how the Titans are a solid fit for West:

West has the chance at a fresh start in Tennessee—albeit after an abrupt exit from the team that drafted him little more than a year ago. There likely won't be a lot of pressure on him to contribute right away, but the Titans must make sure they monitor West and get the most out of him to make the trade worthwhile.

Bishop Sankey is a former second-round pick who needs a viable backup. West seems to fit the bill, and the pair will help keep each other fresh with a balanced workload as both do their best to complement rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota.
