615finest Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Even better news is that we won’t have to draft a edge rusher in the 1st round lol.. hopefully Weaver will produce this year. Landry, Dupree, Landry, Autry could be a nice rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans0021 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Year 1 cap hit is like $13 million less than the tag price, which is nice. It’s a big number, but he’s a productive pass rusher coming off of a career year that is durable, versatile and still only 25 and theoretically just hitting his prime. I wouldn’t have been all that surprised to see someone like Indy beat this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 This defense is loaded in all 3 levels. Just need some depth at EDGE, CB, and S. Jenkins is likely gone and I’m sure they want Farley at CB2 but I damn sure wouldn’t rely on it. Definitely would be looking at CB on day 2. Would love to get Cruikshank back but he’s had injury issues his whole career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also been a walking injury his whole career. I seriously doubt some team is going to pay him to be a starting safety in this league.

titans0021 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Really is crazy to think that we probably have all 11 of our defensive starters penciled in before FA or the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesa_Titan Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Bleh... Really glad to have him back, but I'm really not a fan of the contract. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, buy I'm weary of the typical contract year career year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolateman78 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I don’t know why fans get hesitant about the contracts their favorite teams give out anymore. It’s not your money and the salary cap is largely a fallacy. It can be easily manipulated if the team is willing to pay the money. The way fans fret about how contracts will impact the cap, you would think that a ton of teams every year get destroyed by the cap. And they don’t. And that is by design. The concept of the cap is pushed in order to win the PR game with fans when ownership is being cheap. people have to remember that owners are making crazy new revenue off online betting. Salaries are going up across the board. It’s not overpaying, it’s the new normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can pick up his option next offseason & keep Dupree for another yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is Zero chance we don’t since either one of Simmons or Brown. Not next season but the season after we still hold the cards in Jeff we have a 5th yr option 😈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I still don't understand this mindset that Bud is all the sudden out the door after 2 maybe 3 years. Like he is some scrub or something. Cap is going to keep going up. Titans have shown they can work the cap and contracts. They will pay AJ. They will pay Simmons. And they won't have to gut the team to do so..

He would definitely be at the top of the list if we needed cap room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came back had some set backs and injuries that waterfalled from the ACL. Finished strong. I hear you but I don't still don't understand. If anything it would be a restructure opposed to an outright release. Unless his play is not up to par. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
