Thrill Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 17 hours ago, CreepingDeath said: So, if your math and research is correct, then Starkiller is more correct that the Titans probably shouldn't weigh themselves down with unnecessary risky contracts. However, another angle is that Ward's big extension wouldn't come in this next cycle either, so if we are going to take a contract risk, now would be the best time. We should only take a bad contract if a team is giving up picks alongside it. DCTitan, Nash, CreepingDeath, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a big ask even before the scheme change, if you get offered a top 70 pick it would be really really hard not to take it. Yeah let's just get rid of one of the biggest physical freaks in the league after a pretty solid second year and immediately after hiring a head coach who's proven to be adaptable and willing to adjust his scheme to fit his talent!

Thrill Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 3 hours ago, TeamRamrod said: They’re not gonna spend nearly as much as the fanbase wants is my guess and we’ll have to hear about how Amy is cheap again for months Agreed. The chiefs history suggests we'll really never break the bank for any player unless it's an offensive tackle or guard. So that probably means no high priced Wide Receivers or Corner Backs. I'd expect mid tier players at every position of need unless we decide to upgrade OT and get Rasheed Walker. Romeo Doubbs would be my #1 receiver option and he'll probably be $10 million cheaper than Pierce. I'd expect we sniff around the same kind of second tier at Edge Rusher as well.

Making the playoffs in 2027 is a lofty but not completely unrealistic goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 (edited) Borgonzi needs to succeed where Carthon spectacularly failed in using Free Agency as a tool to restore short term competitiveness while buying himself time to draft and develop the stars of the future. Borgonzi also knows there is no way he can continue to preach patience when other fanbases like the Jags/Patriots/Bears see its possible to make large jumps forward pretty quickly.

I’m not sure about that last part if they care about sustained success. We were talking about the Commanders as one of those teams a year ago. Totally possible one of those three teams could regress big time too this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious how you think they’re gonna change their approach then. He said what he needed to say. Obviously they anticipate winning more than 3 games but I still think the approach will largely be the same. NashvilleNinja, and japan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not Borgonzi is dealing with the fact that the Titans have the worst record in the NFL over the last 3yrs he doesn't have time to slow play this rebuild anymore in the hope that eventually he will hit on enough draft picks for the team to be competitive again.

Ehhh. He was ok. He still wasn't useful rushing the passer. He missed more time, had more questions about work ethic and while saleh is flexible he has never used a guy near as big as sweat. We are talking a 40-50 pound gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. I’m asking how you think that manifests this offseason. Using up most of that cap space? Trading picks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's still a be patient season, but "patience" now probably means being in the wild card hunt and possibly making the playoffs. I think 7-9 wins is expected, playoffs would be a cherry on top. Then we start making real moves in 2027. Supernope 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
