Dansby is going to the browns on a 4 year 24 million deal, crazy over payment.

I think mariani is gone too, we've just signed dexter mccluster it seems

helimachoptor

4.5 million guaranteed, 3 year 12 million deal

That the McCluster deal? If so I'm

helimachoptor

Seems to be a view that the CJ release is now imminent because if this signing, but yes it does seen a chunky deal

Red Crow

Seems to be a lot of activity involving the Titans. Are you guys in a good cap position?

Nope, that deal pretty much puts is near our cap, however the expectation is that is there are cuts we can free up 10-15 million more

Dohnny Jepp

I don't think dansby is worth that money. We need to cut the players we know are going to be cut and I'd like for us to sign spikes now that dansby is gone.

Dohnny Jepp

And I actually like the Mccluster signing.

helimachoptor

looks like we are going to get Woodley....

Depending on the money that could be a really good signing.... Getting a little excited :P

helimachoptor

4 year 25.5 million with 14 mill guaranteed for a 25 year old CB..

Apparently we didnt have too many conversations because we thought we'd be blown out with a massive offer, then when the FO found out how much it was it was too late :mad:

Dohnny Jepp

Absolutely ridiculous. An embarrassment

helimachoptor

Yep there seems to be a consensus that we've dropped a massive clanger on this one, a disaster tbh he was got for peanuts compared to what everyone thought he was going to get

helimachoptor

C2J has started following the Cowboys owner on Twitter :pac:

Dohnny Jepp

At the moment I don't even really care who we sign or cut. I'm absolutely disgusted about how we handled Verner. Is Ruston doing his best to make sure we never even contend for a superbowl. At least the jags are showing improvement.

helimachoptor

Yeah pretty gutted to be honest, he was got for so cheap

helimachoptor

Having a twitter conversation with Jim Wyatt (beat writer for the titans) on twitter about verner

Defintely one of the advantages of supporting a "smaller" team

helimachoptor

The dexter deal is 12 million but 3 million of that are incentives

helimachoptor

Big country Dave Stewart is released, we get 6.5 million in cap space, sad to see such a good servant go

helimachoptor

Charlie Whitehurst... 2 years @ 4 million a year, what a joke

That contract better be incentivised for everything!

Dohnny Jepp

Instead of spending money on verner lets just throw it at washed up players and guys that have no talent.

helimachoptor

A few updates..

Apparently the trade market for Johnson is "heating up"
Mookie has re-signed for 2 years and looks likely to be our NT in any 3-4 looks

and finally.. a few bits of info saying we are interested in Michael Vick..

helimachoptor

Rob Bironas has been released

Massively shocked by this, he had lost a little leg power in the last couple of years but he was still pretty consistent

helimachoptor

Mariani has re-signed which im happy about.

I'll expect him and Washington will compete for the starting returner job

I'm still one of Jake Locker's biggest fans so what are ye hearing about him this offseason? Is there pressure that this season could be his final shot with ye?

I thought he was starting to play really well last year & if (starting to look like a big if) he can play a full season he can become the QB I thought he would be coming out of college

Dohnny Jepp

Whiz came out and said he's really impressed by him and that he'll be the guy, but you know how it is in the nfl, say one thing and do another.

helimachoptor

Locker has the talent, he's a big powerful arm and he can make the throws.
He had a good start to the season last year, at one point he had the best TD to int ratio of any QB, then he got injured!

I think there are a few things to for him to improve

- When he sees his' receivers covered he runs, i dont think he allows sufficient time for plays to develop but it did improve last season
- When he runs he doesn't run intelligently, he's a big solid guy but he needs to avoid contact at all costs instead of trying to bowl over everyone.
- He needs to throw it away, if its not on then get rid of the ball

He became a lot more comfortable in the pocket last year too so hopefully that continues, personally i am big fan and hope he's our guy for the franchise

helimachoptor

Britt is visiting Bills and Titans, very surprised by this but maybe Whiz wants him back and will give him a 1 year prove it deal.

With his head in the game and better knees Britt could really be a great receiver... but im still scratching my head on this one if we do sign him

helimachoptor

Pretty quiet on the Titans front

We've signed Philips which means we have

Gooden
Philips
Brown
Ayers
Mccarthy
Fokou

As current LBs

Morgan and i would say Wimbley will see a lot of action @ olb too

CJ is still floating around and radio silence means its impossible to know whats going on in relation to him.

Looks like Sensabaugh will take over the starting CB2 position with Campbell being his back up, I like Campbell however i have seen very little game footage of him

I am really wary about both of then, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't either are good enough for the NFL.

Sensabaugh has played well in the nickel, but hasnt seen much action outside.

Hes quicker than verner but not as experienced, Campbell is a big guy 6'3 and very quick so would assume he'll take the nickel position however all the chances he's been given he hasnt taken it on the outside but he has done ok in the slot

I would like to see Wooten get a good chance in camp

helimachoptor

Looking 95% likely that Wimbley will stay and then presumably move to OLB

helimachoptor

Stevens restructures his contact, taking a 2 million pay cut this year, frankly wondering where all this cap space us going..

Dohnny Jepp

Unless Robinson or Matthews are available at 11, I think I'd like us to go with Mack, Mosely or Barr with our first pick.

helimachoptor

I doubt Mack will be there,i think its likely to be Barr but could easily be Mosley

helimachoptor

10 Key Players for the Titans this year (Idea stolen from a fan site)

Locker.. no explanation needed here, a good year from him will see the Titans in the play off mix

Wright.. needs to keep his momentum going and with a healthy QB could get a lot of yards

Hunter.. had a solid 1st year and now should be likely to break out

Schwenke.. struggled with injury last year but have the tools to help soldify the inside of the line

Warmack.. Struggled in pass coverage but did pretty good in the run game


Sensabaugh.. will fight it out for the number 2 Corner, doesnt have elite size but does have speed and has done well in the nickel, if he gets the job he has a big challenge.

Wreh Wilson.. will either get the outside spot or the nickel and can do either well imo.

Casey.. not much info needed here, a stud DT but will be interesting to see how the new D affects his productivity

Pollard.. had a great season last year, his aggression let Griffin re-discover some of his mobile form from a couple of years ago. Attacks the ball and wasnt a liability in coverage as many expected. A born leader

Zack Brown.. had a great fist 6 games but seemed to tail off, had the tools to be a beast OLB and with the hybrid look this year will likely see a lot of rushes and hopefully sacks

helimachoptor

Not much happening with the Titans

Charlie Whitehurst has been running the OTAs as he's the most familiar with the schemes and routes so he's getting in some clipboard holding practice bring back the Fitz!

Its Lockers last year and he knows he's likely playing not only for his Titans future but really his NFL future. If he gets injured again his career is over imo. He needs to stay healthy and i for one hope he stays healthy and becomes the Titans QB for a good few years.

The Titans dont have a third round pick, i could see them trading back in the first to pick up a 3rd. I think this depends on really who is available to them @ 11 if the OLBs, DEs are gone i think they trade back for a CB and then a QB then a HB in that order.

Dohnny Jepp

I read a comment one of the analysts on nfl.com made and I have to admit I agree with it. It was along the lines of -- The Titans are the nfls most forgettable teams and all they have done during free agency is made themselves more forgettable.

The more I look at our FA, the less I like it.

helimachoptor

I think we are "forgettable" because we're a small city team, thats not a bad thing.. we could be the browns!
CJ is going to get massive NFL and media coverage now he's in NYC

We are definitely doing the steady approach rather than the super start approach. I think the play makers are on the team already

Hunter/Wright
Casey, Pollard Brown

Apart from Dexter i dont see any potential stars, the 2 broncos should be pretty solid though

Dohnny Jepp

Tough first month for us...

helimachoptor

brutal 1st month, 3 road games against last seasons play off teams, we could very well be 0-4 at the end of September.

October is better Browns/Jags/Skins/Texans

we will likely end up +/- a game or 2 at the bye week.

Primetime thursday game is against the JAgs... not exactly primetime!

Jets game is Dec so that will be good to see.

helimachoptor

love me some pollard

We have been a team where we have sucked butt. And I’m just being perfectly honest with you. We have sucked butt, and it’s time for us to turn that corner. Like I said last year and this year, we’re gonna knock the piss out of you. It’s gonna be fair. It’s gonna be within the lines – I may get one outside the lines or whatever – but that’s just who I am and that’s just who we are. It’s going to be a lot of fun doing it,” he said.

Casey has said he hopes & expects the Titans to lock him up long term, at this point doesnt look like he'll want to hit FA next year

mikemac1

Pollard was the favourite of the Baltimore press corps. They awarded him their media "good guy" award for being always available to them.

The award was a pair of jocks due to his habit of giving locker room interviews while undressed

Very articulate and well spoken player and always willing to speak out but that wasn't appreciated in Baltimore management and Harbaugh sent him on his way during the off season.

helimachoptor

yeah he's often quoted by press and they sure do love quoting him

Dohnny Jepp

I see we've been mocked Bortles by Mayock. If we were to take a QB I'd like for us to take Derek Carr, move down and pick up a third in this draft. Not sure how I feel about us taking a QB though. I still hope Locker can stay healthy.

helimachoptor

Can't see that happening, personally I'm a fan of garoppolo and would like him in the 2nd but it seems he'll be gone before that.

I still would like us to trade down to be honest

Heffo001

Don't know how to feel about that pick. I'm pretty uninspired by it, but then again he could turn out to be the starter at LT for 10 plus years. My dream situation was to trade back to get another pick or two for this year and then take Bridgewater later in the 1st.

After changing to a 3-4 defence and with questions at QB I would have liked a couple more picks to fall back on. Without a pick in the 3rd round and no compensatory picks at any stage it's touch to predict how the rest of this draft will pan out.

ye have an embarasment of riches at o-line now will oher bench for ye?

Yeah I think so, it wouldn't even make sense to push one of the tackles inside cause we are sticked with interior lineman too.

My number 1 rated QB is Derek Carr. I would love if we could pick him up in the second round.
