I don't hate this deal for them because they need to do something on offense... but man in a couple years people are going to look at this contract and just ask why the hell did they do this? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, you want to evaluate if Levis is the guy. Give him some credible weapons and an offensive line and evaluate him for this year and next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesPeteC Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 If only the Titans could have drafted a stud WR to pay this kind of $ to instead of overpaying for one 3 years older in free agency…….. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they just supposed to give up on competing this coming season? I 100% expect to only win like 6 games or whatever this season, but I dunno why a franchise would just throw their arms up and accept that. And you can't make Will Levis keep throwing to only DeAndre Hopkins. Ridley even at his level of play this past season is better than anything else on our pathetic WR depth chart after Hopkins. 1 minute ago, AZ_Eaglesfan said: I don't hate this deal for them because they need to do something on offense... but man in a couple years people are going to look at this contract and just ask why the hell did they do this? lol In a couple years Ridley is going to be like the 20th highest paid WR or something and few are even going to care or remember the contract unless he's just some colossal all-time bust who can't manage to get on the field. What this contract will be a true test of is Brian Callahan's ability to scout for his offense and help develop/return Ridley to form. That'll be a far more important evaluation from this deal than the money given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't see the structure so maybe they have outs, but if they are paying 31 year old Calvin Ridley $23 million to play WR I'd imagine people will not be looking at that very favorably. Sure the contract will come down comparatively, but that is still way too much money for him. But I don't rate him highly at all so take that for what it is worth. I have very little faith he is getting back to anything close to what he did in his best years in ATL. He had some big games for the Jags, but my god he also was abysmal in a lot of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but people don’t know much about the Titans they just all own Crystal balls and don’t realise it’s completely new management. Also, I think it was you who said before, they need to do something to see if Levis is the guy instead of surrounding him with turnstiles and no options to throw to at all. The way most people are talking the franchise should just fold and stop even being a team because of this contract and trading AJ two seasons ago.

Maybe the new regime is to blame for that two years ago as well. Edited March 13 by Titansfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
