Well I think its time for a unified thread to chat about the glut of looming free agents on this surging Titans squad and how we could afford them. Personally, I love most of this group and would very much like to see the core kept intact. Unfortunately we have 4 players playing at a high level at premium positions. Tannehill, Henry, Ryan and Conklin will all see numerous suitors on the open market unless we can get some long term deals going.
Titans Top 2020 Free Agents:
Ryan Tannehill
Derrik Henry
Logan Ryan
Jack Conklin
Wesley Woodyard
Dennis Kelley
Kevin Pamphile
Tajae Sharpe
Leshaun Sims
Anthony Firkser
Mycole Pruit
Titans projected salary cap: 62.7 million
Not bad, but more space could be made through some cuts:
Cam Wake - 6 million
Delanie Walker - 6 million
Dion Lewis - 4 million
Could also save 8 million by cutting Butler, but he's been playing well.
Also, for the first time in recent memory, the Titans could use the franchise tag and have several players worthy of it.
I'M SO AMP'ED GUYS!!! WOW WHAT A HELL OF A SEASON SO FAR!!
Long time, belated Merry Christmas & Happy New Years to all!!!
For sure the top four have stay - either with deal or tag - Tanman, KingH, Ryan, Conk.
I also don't see us letting Logan go
For CB, you need 4 players - I would prob cut Butler to keep Logan if we really had to, but really with out cap, we should be able to afford them all for now. Sims vs Brock, either is fine, but Brock looked good in small sample size, whichever cheaper or that Dean wants more - because best believe we'll need 4 players min next year.
Really, we need to stabilize the OL, we should be able to keep Conk, who looks like he has finally rebounded. For Henry/Tan, keeping the line steady is huge.
Sad to say, but might be time to move on from Delanie. Dion needs to go... Wake would need to re-structure to stay, but he's a luxury we might not be able to afford.
We need help at the end spot, a 3-down pass rusher/run stopper badly, assuming we keep the above, that is our biggest need. If you give Dean Peas, with the current talent he has, a young Orakpo-Suggs type player, my goodness!!
