The Tennessee Titans reeled in a probable future Hall of Famer on Thursday.
No, it wasn't QB Peyton Manning.
Five-time first-team all-pro LG Steve Hutchinson, a member of the NFL's All-Decade team for the 2000s along with Manning, agreed to a three-year deal with Tennessee, per ESPN.

His addition could be welcome news in the recruitment of Manning, however no one may be happier than Titans RB Chris Johnson. Hutchinson's pancake blocking has helped Shaun Alexander, Chester Taylor and Adrian Peterson to numerous 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Alexander never again topped 1,000 yards after Hutchinson left the Seahawks following their 2005 Super Bowl season; the Vikings pried "Hutch" loose the following offseason with a "poison pill" contract Seattle could not match after placing the transition tag on him.
A seven-time Pro Bowler, Hutchinson, 34, missed seven games over his final two years in Minnesota. However he said recently that the time off allowed his body to heal, and he anticipated recapturing his dominant form.
