Not even the people all in for trading for him. People thought ATL was going to have to eat a decent portion of the 15 M..... If by decent portion you mean 2-3 million. Their cap status wouldn’t have allowed them anything more. It’s why we got the 6th rounder back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s talking about me and somehow concludes I am personally the majority since I was pushing for the trade and said I didn’t think we would take on the entire contract in the end and they would eat a couple million.

The real difference is that while many people did expect us to eat some of the contract only very few posters here empathically said that the deal would not happen at all unless Atlanta ate a significant portion of it. I think that's a considerable distinction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 A lot of people wanted Atlanta to eat some of the cap hit. But that’s a far cry from saying that was the only way it was going to happen. It was never realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are as wrong now as you were then… Wrong - nobody expected the Titans would take on the contract untouched - as is. At a fully guaranteed cap number if 15.3 M. That’s what I others said at the time. They expectation was that the end result would be a modified deal and how that would affect future years when guys like AJB are due for extensions. The issue always was about the cap number and vested funding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue always was about the cap number and vested funding. We did take on the contract untouched though, as most expected if a trade was going to happen. People weren’t hinging a deal on Atlanta eating some of his salary. And they can still renegotiate his contract if they need the cap space. But as I and many others predicted, they renegotiated Tannehill's deal to fit Julio under the cap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XAEA12 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 This place has become a beauty pageant with the popularity contests. It's lame. Posters engage in discussion less because of the gotchas that are bound to come, and everything devolves into a bitchfest. Well here you go @BudsOilers, you won: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to make the argument, it might be smarter to re-negiotate/extend him after the year since they will have more cap space next year.

They could theoretically renegotiate with him this year and still save money next year. If they don’t spend all of what they save they can just roll over any unused cap space to 2022.

Flarb Posted June 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 It’s too bad people put me on ignore. My early takes are usually pretty decent. MM sucks. Clowney is unimpressive. Byard is lucky. Corey Davis can’t get YAC to save his life. Tanney is damn good. AJ is lethal. Firkser is a total stud. As always, I just call it how I see it. And I’ve been inundated with vitriol along the way, especially when it came to MM and Clowney. C’est la vie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I feel stupid? No. I'm the kind of person who will do what I can to help anybody. So, hooray for me. My name isn’t OP, and I’m not full of shit. And you wouldn’t help me if it cost you a nickel.
