Who do you restructure or extend???

JRob went so top heavy on the defense last offseason that it was at the detriment of the offense. He's probably going to have to cut some folks from the defense. Who, I don't know.

 

Agree on Cunningham and Byard for sure

 

Zach Cunningham's number definitely has to change but I doubt we touch Byard's contract again. I believe we've already restructured him twice and I think he just plays it out from here.

I think Lewan will restructure a bit to big somemore guarenteed forward for 2022. We dont need to move much from him but if we coulf move about 5 - 6 million off his number this year then thar would help alot.

Ryan Tannehill's number needs to change at least some. Even if we only get him down to 30 million we will need the breathing room during the regular season.

 

Titans have some problems... T17 is not at the top of the list IMO

 

Cunningham is the easiest to restructure (or cut if we wanted to go that far). Hope we get something negotiated with him.

Henry would also be pretty easy to restructure and could free up potentially 10 million in space.

 

The way we move on from Tannehill is to draft a QB. Drafting a QB is compatible with restructuring Tannehill since the low cap hit on a starting QB contract offsets the dead cap the restructure creates.

Any belief that the Titans next QB wont be a rookie who sits a season behind Tannehill has not noted how much this organization values continuity. I'd guess Ryan Tannehill get some sort of short term extension this offseason to lower his caphit and bridge us to our QB of the future.

 

Cunningham is the big one, he's either getting cut or restructured no way around it.

Byard and henry both already have been restructured? Can't see them being viable options, especially henry. We all love him but the sad reality is there's going to come a time where we gotta cut ties and that might be sooner rather than later, best not to impede that.

Lewan may be a good option.

Jones is here for another year at least

 

Maybe restructure Cunningham. But if we restructure him, it does make his future cap hits greater. Maybe that's not a big deal with a rising cap, but it's hard to say.

I don't know that I would cut him either. Yes, his AAV is top 5 for his position. However, since the Texans already paid the signing bonus and most of his first year, his yearly salary for us is more in the top 10 at his position. I don't know that we're going to be able to find someone else out there to fill what he does for us for that pay.

Maybe Jarrad Davis, or make a play at Dont'a Hightower, but I don't like the fit for either of those guys as much as Cunningham in our defense. The rest of the FA group is not good at all.
