How an Uncapped Season Affects the Tennessee Titans

It will affect us in that all the good free agents wont come here because we wont shell out any money for them even in an uncapped year.

 

there won't be any good free agents available. teams get multiple franchise tags instead of one and you better believe without a cap teams will use them.

the best thing that could happen for us is no cap so we can keep guys like scaife, tulloch, white and tony brown as RFAs.

 

Tj...

I haven't thoroughly read through all the uncapped stuff but I had a question and a comment. How can Scaife have to make at least as much money as the previous year as a RFA since the tender offers aren't that much...?

Second, DO keep an eye on a guy like Julius Peppers. Carolina can't franchise him or he'd be owed a 20% increase over last year's salary and I seriously doubt they'd pay him that. Course, doesn't mean the Titans will go after him, just that some star players will not be franchised.

Gut

 

I'll never understand why people think the Titans are unwilling to spend money on players. We paid a good amount for Washington and Givens. We were right up against the cap for several years, to the point where dead money was killing us because we paid people so well. The idea that the Titans aren't willing to pay players is a myth. They just aren't willing to overpay, and I don't have a problem with that.

Titans wont make many moves on Offense, other than White (Ringer) and Scaife (Cook) i dont see why the titans would change anything. so even if a good player hits the market the Titans wont be looking.

Defense needs some serious help, Fisher wont be giving up on Griffin anytime soon. It's clear Hood wont replace Harper, maybe someone else will.

the LB position and DL will be the Titans focus. and dont look for them to land a superstar, they will try and patch the Defense with guys that fly under the radar but have talent. I dont think a uncapped season will effect us.

 

We've had TONS of wasted cap room for like the last 4 seasons. Which is a clear sign that we're cheap- paying guys as if we get to keep the unspent money.

You say we spent good money on Washington and Givens, yet don't overspend... that's a contradiction to the fullest.

 

Bud isn't against spending money. Before the salary cap began, the Oilers had the most expensive roster in the NFL.

If he thinks spending money will help him win a Super Bowl while he's still alive, I expect he'll do so...
