    The Eagles deal is interesting. People are already linking them to another trade that includes Bradford and picks. Still not entirely sure if they swapped 1sts with the Rams. If so, that would become very interesting. Texans situation is meh, depends on your feelings for the 2 QBs.

    I agree about pushing hard. People say oh well you don't really know what's going on but I do know we're the Titans. Once we clean house (again) I'll restore some of my faith but for right now we just need to sit back and see what happens. Worilds would still be a big get, Orakpo is coming in, still waiting for Dan Williams news, and there's still quite a few names out there I like.

    Some teams are making these big moves because there's more pressure, bigger market, players actually would play there, or they're a piece away from contention. The Titans have none of this going on right now. Our team will be built through the draft because it has to be for teams like us, free agency is either over paying for a top guy or just signing some fillers and hoping someone makes it big. Unfortunately. But hey I'm still excited to see what happens next.

    Last year we signed top line man A L fast and early and we piled up the free agents pretty fast. I was happy as hell and look how that worked out. I hope we go about it differently as long as the results are better.

    From what we know of the Eagles trade so far. They are NOT swapping first rnd picks but they are swapping picks in 2015 and their is conditional pick(s) with some sort of complicated formula (likely based on how much Bradford plays or his stats or some combo). If they swap 2nd rnd picks or 2nd and 3rd rnd picks, that really boosts the value of the 2nd and 3rd rnd picks they could send in a Mariota trade.

    Dan Williams is heading to Raiders for a visit from what I heard. No mention of even any interest from Titans.

    I won't see Worilds as a big get as he's been a starter at this position in this system under this DC and not been a dominant or even good pass rusher (never reached double digit sacks). If he comes in a lights it up, I'll sing their praises but we will overpay to get him and I have little faith we can take another team's avg player and turn him into a star (except for Delanie Walker).

    Keep one more thing in mind. The Jags and Raiders are making big moves not because they have a ton of cap, but because they HAVE to spend a minimum amount...as do we. Unfortunately, we are looking to overpayd some avg players while they are going after some difference makers!

    I really want to see us go after some difference makers since I don't see them spending much on other positions I thought they should have gone after. Might as well go hard after pass rushers, Dan Williams, Revis or Cromartie, Harvin, etc.

    Just like the Titans in real life, you are only now getting the memo.... free agency really started Saturday. We are a day late and a dollar short... or 3 days late and something something.

    Spot on. Webster proved his incompetence, without a doubt, by nothing happening over the weekend.

    Nobody good wants to play for the Titans in their current state. Accept it and get over it.
