tgo Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I wonder why they're being so cryptic about it and going right up to the deadline? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgJoe Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 If we pick it up, he won’t play on it. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that they are working on a team friendly extension or that they won’t pick it up and he’s not in their plans? Not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Of course they will pick it up. It’s not like he has been a bust from day 1. He had a bad year following the torn ACL, that’s it. Not enough for them to make him a free agent a year early. japan, Soxcat, HOTT, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way the draft played out I think there is a greater chance they pick up the option now. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. Could be. Maybe they're just using it as leverage for an extension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. And moreover, even though Nate Davis played RT his senior year, the Titans listed him as a guard straight out when they drafted him. He clearly will only be playing guard. Whereas they listed Amani Hooker as a "DB." Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 It's going to make him one of if not the highest paid RT in the league, he was pretty awful last season. It's not guaranteed until next season but they risk any injury guaranteeing it. It also helps him that Robinson's big trade involved him.

There is also the issue of having so many starters off contract and only 1 franchise tag. begooode, Justafan, and Titansffaan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Henry, Byard, Logan Ryan, Conklin, and Mariota all coming due, they very well may need the franchise tag this year (for once in a long long time).

Was looking at Over the Cap yesterday, there are currently 26 players scheduled to be off contract at the end of this season, mentioned in another thread yesterday this team could have a vastly different look in 12 months time.

The RB tag is manageable for a top level RB and that's a position you don't necessarily want to give a blockbuster long term deal to. I think Byard gets his extension this summer, Conklin gets the option, and Ryan gets extended next year before FA. I could see the tag being an option for Mariota if 1) he stays healthy and 2) maintains the upper end of his production level. If he had some great, break out year, they'd probably do an extension (unlikely, of course). titanruss, and Thrill 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
