    This was a smart trade.

    I loved aj... But100 mil, 57 guaranteed, for a WR who has never played a complete season? Who talks crazy **** like playing baseball?

    Nah man. I think the smart teams will be drafting WR in the top 3 rounds every year, and letting them walk.

    Look at it this way... We could keep AJ, or Simmons.

    Jrob made the right call. And I will trust that he got the best return he could. I would have hoped for a second too, but it seems it wasnt there.

    The fact that the Eagles already had a deal in place for AJ means this was already agreed upon if Burks was there at 18. It also means the Titans couldn’t get a better deal for AJ.

    The Titans Reddit page is like that too. I'm sure most are on suicide watch by now.

    I think the dude was done with us and we flipped to "get what you can" mode. Which is probably the right move given the circumstances. Hopefully Burks is good.

    I have a feeling if we had not given him a 25mil contract he would have sat out this season. We really had no choice but to trade him.

    End his time in TN for trading a disgruntled player they couldn't possibly pay 25mil+/yr? Doubtful. The trade was about getting something for AJ because the Titans weren't paying him 25mil a year. Had to strike while the iron was hot. Turned a 2nd rounder into a couple of good seasons and a first round pick..

    I just looked and 5 WRs currently make 20mil/year with 4 making 4-10mil/year more. If AJ settled for 20 he'd be a Titan. But I can also understand his side knowing 5m a year for the next 4 years was out there waiting. Can't blame either side.

    I just feel bad for everyone who invested in an AJ Brown jersey.. I feel the pain, as I invested in a Corey Davis jersey.

    I thought for sure when the Jets picked at 10 that AJ was going to be a Titan this year

    To anyone hating this, I'm willing to bet any dollar amount up to $100 that the Titans will have a better record than the Eagles. Any takers?
