Koppen to visit Titans, not likely to return to Patriots

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Free agent offensive lineman Dan Koppen has likely seen his last days as a Patriot.

Koppen, who started at center for the Patriots for nearly a decade, is scheduled to meet with the Titans, according to the Tennessean.

New England recently re-signed offensive lineman Dan Connolly to a three-year deal, which put Koppen's return to the Patriots in question, as Connolly is slated to assume the role of snapping to Tom Brady.

The nine-year pro out of Boston College is the fourth free agent center Tennessee has hosted since the beginning of free agency. Jeff Saturday, Chris Myers and Scott Wells visited the Titans but signed with different teams.
