The Facts:
Following up on
an ongoing story. ... While Britt's six arrests since being drafted 30th overall in 2009 are minor in circumstance, they're frequent in nature. He fits into the "repeat offender" category of the NFL's player conduct policy and, at the very least, will probably have a nice chat with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell once more pressing issues -- like helping settle the lockout -- are out of the way.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to NFL Network insider Steve Wyche, Britt could be suspended, either by the team or the league. As previously noted, the Titans don't seem ready to cut ties with him, or rush to sign a prime free-agent receiver. They could protect themselves by having a few wideouts on speed dial in case Britt slips up again, because there is a pattern here. And even though his release isn't imminent, if Britt can't get it together, Wyche notes that history tells us the Titans won't be reluctant to move past him. Adam "Pacman" Jones, Albert Haynesworth and Vince Young -- all first-round picks like Britt -- are or will be former Titans. Wyche added that Britt could grow into something special, though, and that would be good for him and Tennessee, which needs someone or something to help pull it in a different and more positive direction. But for now, Fantasy Football owners should keep his career in perspective. Britt is a rising talent, but he's been arrested once for every two touchdowns he has scored as a pro. It's a legitimate concern.
