5th year options. Titans decline Corey Davis’. Accept Adoree Jackson’s.

That's true, but if they're franchise changing players, then there's no way around it. It's going to come at a price either way, whether it's a wasted draft pick or expensive contract.

 

I agree. But if a guy is good enough to put the option on they will also be getting a new contract. I will say it is odd it is not used before a contract gets done for more players. I would expect more guys to get the option and then get extended but we got what we got.

 

We picked up mariotas option...

 

Dont put that shiy on me lol.

 

Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!

 

I don't know about that. Some of the options picked up were pretty shaky. OJ Howard, Evan Ingram, David Njoku, Jabril Peppers, maybe Derek Barnett.

 

It’s called an option for a reason. It’s used in “still to be determined” scenarios for extension. It’s a pretty bad sign that the team has given up on one of their early picks when they don’t pick up the option. (Eg- MM8, Conklin, etc)

 

It is tough. You need 1st round picks to get the Mahomes, the CMC, the Aaron Donalds, the Julio Jones, etc, etc, etc. And they are so valuable for that reason.

...but they really only work out as envisioned maybe 25% of the time, maybe less.

 

Hopefully we never have to cross this option with Rashan Evans... keep him and Jayon intact.

 

The options outside the top 10 are pretty reasonable. I would expect him to get optioned this time next year. Then they'll try to work a deal.
