Hopefully he’s better than that roach Nick Williams. Looks like he can at least catch an over the shoulder pass at least. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 53rd spot still open. Roger Lews was signed to the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanLegend Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Batson will probably receive very few snaps. I'd assume Jennings gets the Nick Williams snaps now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 What’s the cap space look like in the offseason? We need to go out and sign a WR instead of spending more draft picks on them imo. Tired of waiting for that position to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty as of now, but we have some big ticket players or reasonably significant decisions coming up to be signed or extended. This season: Derrick Morgan Brian Orakpo Quinton Spain 2020 Free Agents: Kevin Byard Jack Conklin (Team option) Ben Jones Brett Kern Marcus Mariota Logan Ryan Wesley Woodyard Tajae Sharpe So that cap space could be eaten up real quick. Would be hard to see them spend top free agent money on a WR, especially after seeing what the FA WRs got this year. It would have to be a vet that gets cut or trade for a contract that can be easily re-worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless willing to come back for cheap, one of Morgan/Orakpo will likely be gone and Landry will take their spot. Not sure on Spain. The o-line's pass blocking is great so maybe they keep it together, but at this point the run blocking just isn't cutting it. The salary cap really doesn't matter(See: Rams), and practically no team has issues with it anymore, but this next season will be the last year of a cheap Mariota, so could see a splurge to try and go for a ring.

There’s always ways to create salary cap simply by converting salary into bonus or upfront money you see teams all the time restructure contracts Steelers, Cowboys, redskins it create a messy situation on the backend down the line if you never release players by drafting their replacements in time.

This was Mariota's last cheap year. That's projected to be about 11% of the cap... And puts us at 167M in liabilities next year. The cap is projected to be a little under 190M... So that gives us 20M plus 24M we'll be carrying over from this year...so about 44 M before any new contracts and cuts. There's not many reasonable cuts that can be made to save good chunks of money... Cyp for about 5M is the only one that stands out... Jones close to 5M (unlikely)... 3.5 from Kline (very unlikely) are other options. Ryan could save a good chunk too, but that's not happening... I actually see an extension with him. Extending Mariota would likely save 2019 cap money. We can sign Rak or Morgan... Neither will break the bank at this point... But Morgan would be much more team friendly imo. There's plenty of money to sign a WR... But other than Golden Tate and maybe Gordon, theres not much to throw big money at. The value will be in those lower tiers, guys like Kearse, Hogan, etc... But we can't be afraid to pay decent money for those type of players. We're seeing how important and valuable God WRs are (if only because of the serious lack we have there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's around middle of the road for QB contracts right now I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also considering the jump he's taking from this year to next, more than quadrupling actual money from 4M to 21M... And tripling salary cap money from 7M to 21M... This is his last cheap year.
