Starkiller Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 37 minutes ago, AussieTitanFan08 said: JRob is going to have a tough decision on his hands regarding Clowney it now looks like the 2021 cap will be $175 million which is $23.2 million less than this year, the Titans are currently projected to have cap spending of $186.2 million in 2021, if JRob does sign Clowney that significantly eats into how much cap space he can roll over from 2020 and would lead to an even deeper roster purge next season. If they are trying to win now, it’s not a tough decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think out of all those guys, Saffold has the biggest impact but also would be the most "overpaid" for his position other than Humphries. Assuming Fulton develops well anyway.

Bulluck4dmvp Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I’m all about smart, long-term planning when it comes to building the roster, but if JRob feels like we’ve got a shot this year for the SB (which I’d agree) - he has the responsibility to go for it as opportunities don’t come around too often (unless you’re the Pats lol).

That's the exact argument I've been making. Clowney feels like Kevin Carter all over again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Honestly, the Titans' situation isn't even that bad, when compared to Philly which is like close to 100 million over the cap. Yeah, we may lose a few starters but it's not crippling. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. Or you just renegotiate a couple of big contracts to free up the money now in exchange for less free space down the road. Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to sign them to really bizarre back loaded deals. I can see Jayon not being signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
