    Yeah we really screwed the pooch on that one. Keeping McNair for 2 more seasons would have been ideal.

    Keeping McNair two more seasons would have been impossible. He had a cap number of 20+ million. He would have had to take a straight up pay cut.

    "Hey Steve, we know you're breaking down and near the end of your career, but we need you to cut your salary the next two years by 75% while still being a starting NFL QB. Thanks."

    Yeah, that would have worked.

    How much money did the Ravens wind up giving him?

    How much money were the Ravens able to give him is the better question. The Titans had no cap room.




    So basically the Titans saved $9 million with that trade.

    Sounds like our GM did a terrible job with that contract.

    They tried to hold everything together for one last run. It was time to pay the price and they did.

    We'd just be delaying the Munch years regardless. It would have happened when he left then or happened when he left/got sacked however many years later.

    Yep. They knew it was coming. They took a calculated risk. It didn't pay off. End of story.

    We can't know that for sure. With Bud gone who knows what Tommy Boy would've done. I actually think he would've been much more likely to go with an outside hire.

    But all we can do is speculate. It happened the way it happened. And we suffered through many mediocre to downright awful years. Now it looks like we finally have a legit coach so I guess we should just be happy.

    Nah. That whole thing happened at the worst time possible. Took two months to fire Fisher. At that point every other coaching staff was filled. Munch's staff was going to suck before it ever took shape.
