Expect more of the short term deals and journeymen contributers in FA. I do think they'll dole out some money to Skoronski, and they'll likely have 1-2 pretty decent contracts in FA, but I doubt we'll see anything like what we saw with Carthon a couple years ago.

It was pretty obvious that Callahan was bad, regardless of Levis and regardless of several prominent posters on here continuously trying to convince me that his designs were actually good, his playcalling was underrated, and that the team was getting better.

That makes sense. I guess it's possible he found out he wasn't getting the job or something too, so decided not to waste his time.

Happy for Kevin:

If it was McDaniel, why didn't he cancel his trip to the Chargers unless it is very much up in the air?

It's a commonly used reference point to differentiate between base personnel packages. Everyone understands the defenses have evolved. No one made an argument otherwise.

Of course, there will be changes. Of course, it's not a huge deal. There was going to be a major personnel overhaul regardless of which direction they went in. What are we even arguing about here?

Every fan base with an OC opening is projecting McDaniel to come to them lol. They're all convinced. Except the Browns. The Browns know they're trash!

That would diminish his bargaining power with the Falcons.

I think Ridley stays another year and they draft another guy relatively early. Ridley is still better than anything they'll get on the open market and they aren't hurting for cap space.

I don't disagree that they need to add talent to the room but Ayomanor was immediately thrust into a starting role and had a pretty nice rookie campaign all things considered. For a fourth round pick, I'm thrilled.

Damage control was my first thought.

Very possible. All we can really do is speculate. I'm all for it, but we should keep in mind that these are only theories and we'll probably never know the truth.

I think the offense sets the upside for next season but with Cam Ward, the defense will set the floor. I think this is the fastest path back to relevance the Titans could have made. All of that depends on the staff of course but based on initial reports, I'm confident he's bringing in some good people.
