lovetitans Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 its like the Payton Manning sweepstakes on a much smaller scale lol. I think its going to end up the same way also. He's going to pick a team he wants in a few days then negations will start with that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I think the negotiations start long before he picks a team. He wants to get paid (which yeah, good for him, when you're destroying your body and have, a maximum, of three major contracts in your life, you should chase the biggest check), limiting the teams he's talking to will only hurt him when negotiating. He may have a team he's leaning towards, but you can almost guarantee that he's going to try his best to start a bidding war to get said team to match the best offer.

JMG5 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I feel like he's choosing you guys over us, but I also feel like Seattle is going to make an offer late and win him over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 He's playing this so well. It reminds me of the HS football recruits that force schools to wine and dine them for months before they even consider making a decision. I like it. It seems like free agents feel the need to sign the second they can, I can respect going out and enjoying the process. Once you sign on the dotted line, you're just another member of the roster.

titans0021 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 In the end, I do think that if we really, really want him, we'll land him. We can simply afford to pay him more immediately than the Saints or Seahawks. According to OTC, the Seahawks were just under $20 million in space before the Brown, Mingo and Alexander signings. So, I feel fairly comfortable assuming they're now around $15 million. The Saints are at $6 million. And we, after the four contracts, should be sitting in the $35-40 million range. Now, obviously New Orleans and Seattle can find work arounds to clear more room, but I can't imagine getting to the point where they could put forth an offer that we couldn't top without doing real long-term damage to themselves. So if JR feels like he's worth breaking the bank for, we have the ability to be the highest bidder. The only question is what kind of ceiling Robinson will put on the length and guarantees of any potential contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VY Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If J-Rob really wants Suh and it comes down to money, just offer more than NOLA can in year 1 and we have a pretty good shot. If Suh does have 3/4 years left we are a better option anyways. Hope it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants a 3 or 4 year deal then you guys are the better option. Plus you guys can offer more money. That seems like a real advantage. In all honesty, as cool as it would be for the Saints to land Suh, I just want an answer soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yup. I'm saying the earliest he signs is March 25. Also, all expense paid trips to New Orleans, Nashville and L.A. He's killing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About $25 million. 1 minute ago, JMG5 said: This going to drag on forever... Yeah, there's no end in sight. If I was Hankins, I would wait until after Suh signs and hope that a couple of the losing teams jump into the bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 So, with this Suh chase likely going to drag on, anybody have a list of second-tier FA's that are still out there that they'd have interest in? Eric Reid would be at the top of my list. I think Morgan Burnett would look good in our secondary. Terrelle Pryor. Obviously. If we miss out on Suh, Hankins would be nice. But I can't imagine him staying on the market long enough for us to get him as a consolation prize. Tre Boston? Maybe? Colin Kaepernick, though I'm hoping to not get dragged back into that. Could be talked into Mike Wallace to at least add competition for the third WR spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
