    Seems they are going to let him walk:

    TitanInsider's Terry McCormick expects free agent edge rusher Derrick Morgan to test the open market.

    McCormick doesn't see Morgan as an ideal fit in the Titans' 3-4 defense, even though he had a successful season in the system this past year, racking up 63 tackles and 6.5 sacks while grading out as PFF's 8th-ranked 3-4 outside 'backer. Prior to 2014, Morgan had been a hand-in-the-dirt base 4-3 end in college and the NFL. He has scheme-versatility, but look for 4-3 teams to come after Morgan.

    It will be interesting to see the $ he gets in FA. If some team breaks the bank for him, they can have him. He is good but not great player who doesn't make impact plays. I would resign him, but only for a decent amount. Most likely scenario is he gets way overpaid by a 4-3 team.

    Two cuts today I wouldn't mind bringing in for leadership and depth, SS Thomas DeCoud and LB Keith Rivers. Both positions of need, give them a look.

    I posted this in another thread, but:

    My bet would be Philly would wait to pull the trade and do not look to trade for #2. If Mariota falls past #6 (Jets) then they may be able to trade up for him. The next team that would look at QB isn't until Rams (#10) or Cle (#12). Would be way easier for Philly to trade for #9 than it would be #2. Heck, would be easier for them to trade for #5 right before NYJ than #2. We have to convince the media that we love Mariota and drive that price up.

    Here's another article I found:
    http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/2/16/8043469/2015-nfl-mock-draft-marcus-mariota-philadelphia-eagles

    Not sure how credible the writer is, but he suggests a trade of: "Tennessee gets Philadelphia’s entire draft and a first-round pick in 2016."

    That would leave us with: 20, 33, 62, 66, 84, 97, 110, 130, 148, 161, 180, and 192 in this draft. (#s in bold are Eagles picks). Then, we'd also have 2 1sts in the '16 draft. That's hard for me to turn down, we need help EVERYWHERE and this allows us to fill many, if not all, of those needs. If Eagles are that obsessed w/ Mariota, i'd try to pickup Foles too.

    Can you imagine Belichek with those picks? He'd end up with 6 first rounders!

    One small problem, you would have to move 2 of those picks to next year because you're only allowed 10 picks per draft.

    Wouldn't even be fair haha

    Dang, didn't know that. That's fine they can keep their 5th & 7th, but then want their '15 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and '16 1st & 4th.
