Titans resign Dennis Kelly

Surely this is starter money. Back up QB's get $6m a year, not backup tackles...

This screams one year started whilst a rookie learns, then gets cut in year 2..

Only 8 of the $21m is guaranteed..

 

Yep. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them draft a RT early.

 

We are still going to draft a tackle, but I don’t see them cutting Kelly.

He obviously can play both tackle positions, he is getting paid like a backup, in fact I can see us maybe keeping him after the 3 years.

 

Im saying, Kelly starts this year, whilst a rookie sits.

If the rookie is ready in year 2, there's no point having kelly sit there on the bench on $7m a year.

I suspect JRob has structured this deal as Jrob does, essentially a 1-2 year deal under the guise of a 3-4 year deal. See Dion Lewis et al.

 

Only very few back up qbs make 6 mill...average is 2 mill. Which makes your point even stronger.

 

I am curious how many backup RT get 7 mill a year? I doubt many.

Edit: Just did some research. 7 mill puts Kelly in the top 10 of NFL right tackles. That is starter money man. I don’t think a back up tackles in the league makes anywhere near 7 mill in the entire league.

 

Nice signing and Kelly is versatile to play either T position at least ok.
Glad he’s sticking around for depth even if he does start at first.

 

Kelly is the worst LT

 

Yeah just what are they thinking over resigning him

 

Well if Lewan stays off the drugs, we don’t have to play him there.
