Skill level still matters. What makes Tannehill as expendable as anyone else is his skull level. His positional importance only matters because you have to ensure you have a replacement ready And if they found someone of higher skill level, they would have been shopping him like crazy like the Raiders did with Carr. There was no suitable replacement. It's not hard to understand except for a bunch of certain posters it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could even be a tactic for future negotiations of an extension during the season with the idea we won't continue paying top flight money for a FS. I disagree with the analytics squad about FS btw when they're as versatile as a guy like Byard that can play any and all coverages in the box and in center field. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it had to be done but when you're likely returning 5/11 (maybe less) starters on offense you literally had to rebuild that side of the ball. I remember saying mid-season that we'd have to replace half of our starters on offense and people thought it was the wildest and most foolish prediction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he weren't 30 and had the highest cap number for a FS this year, I wouldn't have a problem with them leaving his contract as is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you have to rebuild an entire position group or even multiple groups while still trying to win. The problem this board has is equating rebuild with tanking i.e. not trying to win Oh yeah, it's definitely not a tanking situation. We're trying to win. We just have to rebuild to do it.

You're saying that like him having the highest cap number is unjustified. He's in the argument as the best safety in the game. Of course his is the highest. This is not similar to the Tannehill situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 What Byard and Tannehill have in common is that JRob pushed both their cap numbers higher. To date, RC appears to be trying to avoid pushing cap space forward and deal with the issues in 2023. Eventually he will probably have to push cap space into 2024, after he deals with as many 2023 solutions as he can. IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. We're wisely setting ourselves up for next off-season. Ran is in no hurry to win big. An 9 win season will be more than enough to placate most fans and please ownership.

It's not even much to debate. He still plays at an elite level and his contract is not some gross misnomer compared to the other top safeties. Titans kinda look bad here. Just pay him and be happy he's worth the cost. I get we are in a less than ideal cap position, but you starting cutting guys on him just to save $6m then you might as well go all in with rebuilding because it's not worth it and the messaging to other players and the fanbase would be at an area where you might as well just rip off the band aid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Titans279 Posted March 17, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 It would be funny if someone leaked that he asked to be released to Stillman just to cause a stir and then leak to the more credible people that he didn’t since Stillman is not that well respected anyway lol tgo, Mythos27, rns90, and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bad FA year. He's playing it right outside of maybe signing one of those flawed WR. Even the two G's that everyone thought would get paid a little (Risner and Semaulo ) are still out there.
