Heard his name floating around the Titans community a bit lately, so just wanted to get your guys' thoughts. With the Bucs being in cap trouble, and after just resigning Gronk, a guy like OJ Howard($0 Dead cap for Bucs if they trade him) is probably on the trade block.
First question. Do we want him? He's been underwhelming his entire career thus far. Has a pretty terrible injury history. He does still have potential though, and we need a TE1 badly(one that can block and also be a legit recieving option)
2nd. Can we afford him? Last I heard, we had 15 million in cap space and that was before these last 5 or so signings have gone through. Seems like the thought of us having enough for another contract like this AND rookies might be completely out of the question at this point.
Finally, what would he cost? I would assume they are trying to unload him for a 4th or 5th, but seeing that they have no leverage(negative cap space) I could see him being got for a 7th.
The rookie Tight End crop is really thin this year, so it makes a guy like this look alot more desirable. I would personally love an opportunity to see this guy here, but I don't know if we can even make the cap numbers work at this point. He seems to be the only reasonable trade option though...
I'm assuming some team will get him for a 6th or 7th rd pick. Will it be us? Doubt it, but here's to hoping.
