    We are fine right now. Do you want to be fine or do you want to win a Super Bowl?

    And in your mind, what does build 'correctly' mean?

    Gut, the reason I brought up how much we spent is because a poster on here said we didn't spend anything. How many more times do I need to bring that up?

    You realize that free agent contracts often times don't work out? You keep saying we can add talent and make our team better like signing FA are full proof and never fail. This is the point we are trying to make.

    Do you know the difference between saying we ADDRESSED our biggest needs and saying we SOLVED our biggest needs? Signing free agents doesn't guarantee that we SOLVE our needs either.

    Because teams have signed talented guys to big contracts before and it's not made their team better? Lol there are a lot of examples of this happening...

    Because every team who has ever overpaid for free agents goes to the Super Bowl.

    FWIW, the Titans are set to have only $34M in cap space on 2018. So you're suggesting that we tie $16M of that up in one year wonder Bouye and then have little money to pursue other guys who could help the team, especially if he's not what we expected. Then another $10M for Hankins like you wanted, and we're looking at a whopping $8M to spend in FA next year. Smart use of assets there.

    Well we did bring in Sly Williams who's being held out due to ankle surgery, so that must be a huge Free Agency win.

    Brandon Williams
    Poe
    Hightower
    Barwin
    Bouye
    Tony Jefferson
    etc

    Brandon Williams - That kind of contract for a run stuffing nose? We have plenty of run stuffing d-lineman
    Poe - major back injury concerns
    Hightower - no one was getting him but the patriots
    Barwin - 30 years old with declining production
    Bouye - we got Logan Ryan, Bouye is a one year wonder who played behind a great front 7 you don't throw that kind of money to that type of player.
    Tony Jefferson - only one I would have liked to see in a Titans uniform
    etc

    - We're not going to win a superbowl within the next 2 years, lets be realistic. The reason so many people are high on the Titans right now are because the Mariota-Henry-Davis core is very young but promising, then add in Lewan-Conklin & potentially Jonnu Smith. Defensively no need to rush for signings because if Byard, Jackson, Sims can develop all we need is to work on cementing a pass rush.
    - Building correctly means organically, bringing in team first guys that know how to play there role. Not paying 15+ mil to players that aren't an essential need and are inconsistent or drafting unproven players off 1 year of production or projected potential.

    Poe also has a weight incentive based contract. Meaning he has a history of being out of shape and some teams didn't even want him because of it.

    Every single one of those guys is more talented than the Titan starter with the exception of Barwin who would've just been solid depth.

    So they make the Titans better, wasn't that the question?

    Or is the question, do want the Titans to be better or have 40mil in cap savings?
