HashtagFTW Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Real stats. 957 snaps. 3 sacks. 5 penalties. pretty elite stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEN throws like 15 times a game. Henry is a BEAST. Conklin is a solid run blocker. Ok Conklin is slightly above average, does that make you feel better? Still not worth north of $14 mil a year and still in no way, shape, or form ELITE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conklin had a higher PFF grade last year than Trent Williams in 2018. Williams last elite year was 2016. williams will cost more in dollars and trade comp. so yeah, I'd much rather have Conklin than hope Williams can be what he was four years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashtagFTW Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I don’t think there’s anybody from the 2010 nfl draft that’s worth a big contract anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardlionfan Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I love Williams but all things considered give me Conklin by a mile. I doubt it would ever happen. I think Crosby gets a shot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitroar Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Between this and apparently having no interest in bringing Glasgow back, I'm rather confident Quinn is planning on targeting a big name in free agency. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop86 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I wonder why Conklin's 5th year option wasn't picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they have one of the highest paid LTs and LGs already on their roster, didn't feel like giving another top contract to the same position group and have other needs to spend cap space on.

I guess..... but locking up a top 5 RT for below market value sounds like a win to me, especially to a team that relies as much as anyone on running the ball. Additionally, they have $64 mil in cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop86 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Looking at the Titans, that is the team I think we want to be. Vrabel has done a fantastic job, even sticking it to Belichek in the playoffs using some of the cheater's old tricks against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of cap space, sure, but are on the brink of having to pay Ryan Tannehill (likely the franchise tag salary of $26.8M) and Derrick Henry (a massive, market-setting contract). In addition, they let Logan Ryan walk, so they'll have to consider doing something at CB. It looks like they have a lot of space, but they've got some big deals incoming and some holes to fill. Investing $51M into the OLine may not make financial sense for them right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Investing $51M into the OLine may not make financial sense for them right now. The 5th year option for an Offensive lineman would be $11-12 mil. They could have picked it up and still had more cap space than us, with less holes to fill. I do believe Conklin is an upgrade to Wagner, but I get the argument that he is not worth top dollar. Tennessee might have seen something a PFF score might not translate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
