Bosa got a huge signing deal bonus and they still kept offset language in the contract. I would hope so. Bosa plays a more premium position and was also the third pick vs. the fifth pick. With Decker signed and Taylor apparently looking good in mini-camp, he has a chance to do some real damage to his client if he wants to push this for too long. Unlike Bosa, who was guaranteed to immediately step into a big role as soon as he signed, there's a real chance Davis could be losing significant reps with every day of camp he misses.

TitanLegend Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I thought one of the good points of drafting Davis was he wasn't some diva that would cause BS like this. I'm so sick of entitled football players, agents and general managers that are fighting over what basically amounts to pennies to them. Given Robinson hasn't had the first issue with signing any other pick in his tenure here(and is giving out generous extensions to guys too), I'm definitely leaning on the side that this is Davis' and his agent's fault.

Mesa_Titan Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Sigh. He better sign soon. This is exactly the kind of media coverage I don't want for this team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just in a tough draft position too. Right in the grey area in terms of how early he was picked. I'm sure the agent is pushing hard, but at some point both sides need to just find middle ground. Though to be fair to Davis and his agent, it's not as though Robinson has a long history of signing first-round picks (particularly top five picks).

TitanSlim Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I think it's unfair to call Davis a diva because of this. This is usually an agents dealing. It'd be like calling Mariota a diva when he was dealing with his rookie contract situation. At the end of the day, I think he'll be signed fairly soon.

He's a young guy that's about to be a millionaire, he has to put faith in his agent. Though he probably could put a little pressure to get a deal done as camp hits. Every rep with Marcus is incredibly valuable for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Thomas(who is repped by the same agent) missed the early stages of camp, got called out a bit by John Lynch, and pressured his agent to make a deal. I expect the same thing to happen with Davis. Like I said before, I think this gets done within the next 48 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans fan 617 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I just hate a player playing a key position missing time and falling behind on the depth chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans fan 617 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Still nothing on Corey Davis sounds like he'll miss today then which is a shame. I know he and the agent have to do what's best but as a WR it's important to be there from day one. I'm confident he'll be ok but it's just sucks to start falling behind and not being able to build that chemistry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this debate, the front office is worried about losing additional money if the player gets cut. Which they shouldn't even consider as a possibility. And if they do cut the player they drafted fifth overall, that would mean he's a disaster.... It's all about protection for both sides(agent/front office).

Farsendor1 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hope we find something out soon. I'm watching NFL Network and they have been talking a lot about Titans and already mentioning Davis a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
