FILE - In this Nov. 18, 2018, file photo, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries (10) scores a touchdown against the New York Giants during an NFL football game, in East Rutherford, N.J. For Adam Humphries, Tennessee has been a potential destination for months based on his relationship with Titans general manager Jon Robinson because of their Tampa Bay connection. Not even a late push by the New England Patriots could sway him to walk away from his deal with the Titans. Even considering how much success wide receivers like Humphries have enjoyed with the defending Super Bowl champs.“Obviously, I’m a man of my word, and I’m going to keep my word there,” Humphries said Thursday, March 14, 2019, after signing with Tennessee.
