Elky Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/12409/dion-lewis The Titans need all the cap space they can get with offensive cornerstones Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill both headed for free agency. Cutting Lewis, who has largely been a non-factor since joining the Titans on a four-year deal in 2018, would seem to be a no-brainer. His release would create $4 million in cap savings while leaving behind just $1.1 million in dead money. In addition to Lewis, Davenport suggested Tennessee could also move on from pricy veterans Ryan Succop, Cameron Wake and Delanie Walker. With Tannehill a candidate for the franchise tag and Henry reportedly seeking Zeke money, the Titans have their work cut out for them this offseason. Guess Tennessee is a "cheap organization".

dtait93 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Probably the most obvious move of our offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Is he done? I think there’s gotra be about about 30-40 FA or incoming UDFA RBs I’d probably give a shot to over a guy like Lewis at this point in his career. I think he’s gonna have a tough time carving out a role for someone moving forward, his best chance is probably gonna come in the form of injuries later in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49erurtaza Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 My guess he heads back with the Pats and looks like a elite 3rd down back again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere that decides he's not worth the money as a business decision he talks trash about endlessly. He was actually sour that he wasn't starting over LeSean McCoy when Shady was in his prime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny he called us "cheap". If it weren't for us being "cheap" by signing him, he would have never gotten that deal from Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James White is already in that role, and doing a better job than Lewis did. I'll say Detroit is his next destination. Kerryon Johnson is not a healthy RB, so he'll get carries. He's signing for minimum at absolute most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I miss Dion Lewis. It was great having him perform the way he did that one year. Was never able to catch that lightning again, it seems. If NE wasn’t already basically set in stone, I’d welcome him back. He fills the same role that Burkhead does, though. Lewis ought to get a cheap deal to see if he can stick somewhere as a rotational back. He might be an injury-signing, late in the summer.
