Popular Post SuperTitanic Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Here kids, the "short-bus-version." How can you expect to get back to the conference championship with this lineup (especially if the injury bug attacks)? Tannehill Jones Henry Simmons AJ Brown ? Corey Davis Beasley Humphries Evans Smith J Brown Firkser Landry Kelly Jackson Davis Butler Jones Vaccaro Saffold Byard Lewan ? - Overpaying Tannehill $22.5 Million Per - Butler paid $13.3 Million Per - Vic Beasley $10.0 Million Per One Year Deal (basically swapping Casey) - Humphries $9.8 Million (and this is Adam Humphries - not Welker or Edelman) - Dion Lewis and Wake previously? Under the new CBA Robinson could re-sign two veteran players and save $1.25 + million dollars per player that would not count against the cap (per year). See Logan and Walker as potential examples. ( And stop with the Walker is done bullshit for at least another year with Firkser as his replacement). Should've franchised Tannehill and simply signed Henry for four years. Non exclusive tagging gives players the option to increase their value while negotiating with other teams (which is basically what the original team is wanting to see). A one year quarterback franchise salary tops out at $19.9, but gives back two first round draft picks had the Titans not matched the offer made. Transition tag saves a couple million down to $17.6 but without first round compensation for losing the player (not matching the offer). The franchise tag rarely results in serious contract talks, much less offer sheets, but at least lets the player know how much he's wanted. Henry could've been signed for almost the same deal as Chris Johnson years ago. Let's call it $53.5 Million: $9.68 2020 $15.5 2021 $13.8 2022 $15.8 2023 (all counted against cap). Numbers could easily be crafted in creative fashion within prorated, roster, per game and other bonus structure to off set against the annual cap. The cap number for (both) Henry and Tannehill could've been $29.58 instead of $32,778,000.00. Of all players (regardless of the eight to ten game stretch) Ryan Tannehill was the perfect poster boy for a one year franchise or transition term. Henry, was the long term priority. Without Henry, Mike Vrabel and Jon Robinson win six games, maybe. And hate Mariota for all the wrong reasons just to hate, what a perfect situation it could've been having the best backup in the league (just in case) for a such a reasonable amount. Conklin, Ryan, Casey, Walker, Woodyard, and Sharpe, all solid enough, locker room leaders and veteran players who have all contributed to the turn out of the dark ages under Ken Whisenhunt and Ruston Webster. Losing all of them is beyond stupid coming off an unexpected, championship run, but keeping the best two would've been the more intelligent and sensible decision. Who are you protecting to sign in the future? An unproven Corey Davis? Jonnu Smith ( and very much like the guy but not quiet there yet) ? Jayon Brown ? Even Landry and Evans are solid enough but dime a dozen in this day and age of NFL caliber backer. Adoree Jackson is undersized and overrated. And Butler and Humphries were overreaching buys just like Dion Lewis was. Had a solid, core, offensive line with Conklin, Spain, Jones, Kline and Lewan: see both Spain and Kline. And Jurrell Casey in his prime along side a budding Jeffrey Simmons going into 2020? What a double punch alongside Jones. I'm bored. Love to throw it back at you retards from time to time, and wanted to state in internet ink, just how lucky Mike Vrabel has been rather than coaching genius with this decision making. Robinson was off to a great start before falling back into Adams conformity and frugalness. We'll see at some point whether it was really just a bad Mariota or one year Tannehill trick.

kyle021 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 You can at worst insert Harris/Jernigan on the DL and best case Clowney your question mark at DB is either Hooker, Diggs, Gladney, Jaylen Johnson, Noah, AJ Terrell or AJ Green in the draft. at RB I can see it either being Taylor, Swift, Dobbins. McFarland, Moss or Vaughn There is also a real chance someone like Reagor or Mims or Claypool/Pittman are Titans in round 2/3 I also expect a TE in round 5 like Harrison Bryant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle021 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Lol 22.5 cap hit for a top 10 QB is a steal. It’s almost as impressive as JR acquiring him for a 4th and 2m charleytolar, and Bluth 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 If you want to get really technical you can say we got Tannehill for 3 years and 47 million and a 4th rounder. that would include the compensation we gave up for him last year and the 2 million we paid him plus the first two years of his extension that are guaranteed. I may have next years cap hit less than his actual. so I’m the grand scheme of things his salary overall from the day he walked in the building and through the next two years is quite impressive.

SuperTitanic Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 16 hours ago, Dinx81 said: Franchise tag would be 26.8M And Tannehills cap hit this year is 22.5 The off setting number could have been an $8-10 million signing bonus which would be debuted from the totality of annual contract. Under the new CBA deal for resigning veteran quarterbacks with four or more years of service in the NFL. Either way, creative signings and cap savings are subject to the talents of franchise general managers. On a side note: Are you really happy swapping Casey for Beasley? Could've had both players on the defensive side of the ball for at least the 2020 season and still have cap room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
