Landry on wanting to stay with the Titans.

So what does Robinson do with Landry??? He has shown that he is willing to use the tag, but that certainly puts more of a crunch on our cap.

 

I just cannot stomach the idea of letting a home grown pass rusher walk when this is an area we have been abysmal in for awhile.

 

Seems like a long term deal is unlikely to materialize before the tag deadline. So we have the following options:

1. Tag him and trade him

2. Tag him and try to work out a long term deal before the season.

3. Tag him, cut/restructure other players on the roster, and let him play out 2022 under the tag.

I am ok with any of these options, but if either option 2/3 makes it harder to re-sign Simmons/AJ, then I want no part of that.

And I didn't list allowing him to walk in FA as an option because it would be a terrible mistake. Figure out the plan later, but make sure he either plays here in 2022 or we get a 2nd round pick out of him.

 

yeah... not sure why this stuff is so complex... honestly should not take more than an hour to work out a deal

 

For some reason I just haven’t been able to stir up any optimism on resigning him. This feels like the Conklin feedback from
JR to me.

 

At least in the case of Conklin, you can partly blame that on having to re-sign Tanne and King Henry in the same off-season. Used the tag on Henry. Decent chance we tag Conklin instead had we been able to reach a deal with Henry sooner.

 

I think Conklin is very different. When you don't give that 5th year option, competitors take it personally. We haven't "wronged" Landry in any way. It is just a matter of making the numbers work.

 

I prefer signing him long term but if not we gotta at least tag him. He never misses snaps/games, led the team in sacks (most since 2010), and when he's not getting sacks he is amongst the league lead in pressures.

If we let Landry walk then idk what we're doing.

 

Weighing Landry's Worth Not as Easy as You Might Think

Interesting break down on Landry's impact/stats

if money were unlimited then I certainly would pay the man….issue is that we have Simmons and Brown to pay soon.

I think we could replace his production with Weaver, cheaper FA, and a rookie.

I’d love to have him back, but tagging him really puts pressure on JRob in terms of what he can do in FA and will force him to rework some contracts he might not really want to
