I dont get that at all. not at all.
Seems a bit odd. Again, no idea how reliable that source is. Could be BS.

what are you asking? What does it matter that we would be paying Jonnu Smith 11mil a year, or what does it mean what are we paying Henry?
Either way seems self explanatory to me..
We are really going to spend 11mil on a middle of the road TE when we need defensive help so bad?
or...
we pay Henry 12 mil a year and our entire offense is based off of him and we are supposed to pay some minor, 4th or 5th option (in passing), the same?
I’d rather trade a late round pick for three time pro bowler Zach Ertz on an $8 mill/yr deal.what are you asking? What does it matter that we would be paying Jonnu Smith 11mil a year, or what does it mean what are we paying Henry?

so you are trying to tell me you think Jonnu Smith is worth 10mil (according to google its over 11mil) a year?It’s not relevant what we are paying Henry. That’s my point. Now, in the context of defense I agree. But what we are paying Henry isn’t relevant to what the franchise tag is for Jonnu. The Tag is about $10 million. Market is $8 million.
I think he is more important than you.

TE franchise $11,076,000 transition $9,267,000
Lol okCompared to theirs ... yes. Who do we have that’s comparable to Justin Houston? Autry? Hooker? Rhodes? Those are important players to their defense and will cost a lot more to sign than our guys,
This is at least 2x more than Smith is worth, for either.so you are trying to tell me you think Jonnu Smith is worth 10mil (according to google its over 11mil) a year?

FirkserCome on... worth ? What does worth have to do with what any of these guys get paid? Come on... please don’t go worth. You can’t franchise a defensive player who isn’t ours. So it’s not relevant. We need a good TE. Who is going to play TE if we let Jonnu walk. Whether you like it or not Jonnu is the top FA TE on the market. We need him more than you think. Plus you are still forgetting we can tag him and trade him for draft picks or pick. Let’s see what they do before we freak out.

That’s fine on it’s own, but another TE can be had for cheaper. It was mentioned earlier, how much is DW if he’s willing to come back? No way he’s getting $10 mil and that’s with a career of actual production.
He had his “breakout” year with 8 TD. A total of 8 the previous 3 years.That’s fine. My point is 2.
Jonnu is more important to our offense than most understand. His yardage totals are uninspiring, but he is a matchup problem for a lot of teams and he is great in the red zone. We tag him and sign him to a more cap friendly deal. Teams tag player and sign them to deals all the time. Most Titan fans think Frank Wycheck was a god. Jonnu is a better tight end than he was. If we let him walk and he blows up watch all the people in here calling for Jrobs head for not signing him.
2nd.. why would we let this guy walk for nothing? Lots of teams will be after him. If we could get say a mid rounder or something? Why not? But you can’t trade him unless he is under contract.
Who knows what they do? I’m going to wait and see. I don’t want to lose any weapons from the offense.
Do I want to pay him $10 million? Nope. It would make him the 5thish highest paid TE in the league, but I don’t want him going to the Colts or Jags either. Tag him and you can have some control over where he goes.

Smith is extremely replaceable. Let him hit FA, let teams fight after him, he’s not worth half those tag prices.
No one has ever thought wycheck a god. Literally no one. But he was better than smith. Not a great bar.
Players leave the titans and “blow up” all the time. It happens. If Smith isn’t going to get used in the fashion you think his talents represent, then why bother signing him?
I also don’t think he’s worth a mid round pick. 4th is the highest I could see, but I don’t think teams would trade for him.
I do agree on your point of tagging him to work a long term deal for cheaper, but when he has a $9-10 mil deal for this year sitting there, can’t see him signing for a whole lot less overall, just spaced out more. Still overpriced.
Well firkser would be the answer, DW would be a #2 TE.I don’t completely disagree. I just don’t think we are going to be very happy with what we have without him. I don’t think 82 year old Delanie Walker is the answer either. Who knows....
He can make just as much money but have it converted to gauranteed, while the team pushes the cap hit out to future years. Not saying we will or should, just that we can and Tannehill has plenty of reason to agree.Why would Tannehill restructure, he just signed that deal.
