Antoine Winfield Considering Return

Nov 6, 2014 5:55 AM

Antoine Winfield will consider returning to the NFL if he finds "the right situation."

Winfield was released by the Seattle Seahawks before the start of the current season.

Winfield's most likely scenario would be a return to the Minnesota Vikings.

"Antoine definitely appreciates coach (Leslie Frazier), and some of his best friends in life play on that team right now," agent Ashanti Webb told Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press two weeks ago. "He was there for basically a decade, so Minnesota will always hold a special place in his heart. But I haven't heard anything substantive from them to bring back to Antoine."

Kenny Britt was benched in Week 2 for ill-timed penalties and a lackadaisical approach to blocking.

"Looks like the Titans pullin that Jared Cook card," wrote Britt. "Looking like this the last year ill be sayin .. So lets make it a Great year."

"I'd love to be involved as much as they want me to be, as much as I've been in the past. But as the game rolls out, I am there when they need me," Britt said. "I am not the coordinator and I am not the quarterback -- they decide where the ball goes. I am still ready to go. It is a long season and we have a lot of games to go."
