Cap Space & Looming Free Agents

You don’t tag a RT and pay him LT tackle money....unfortunately the NFL doesn’t distinguish between the different OL positions when establishing the tag amounts

 

Hell, just mortgage the future and backload every contract. Give everybody six years. It will blow up, but we’ll win championships first.

 

Tennessee Titans Salary Cap Calculator | Over The Cap

I signed Henry (15M), Tannehill (22M), Ryan (12M), Conklin (14M), Sharpe (2M), Correa (3M), Bates (1M), and Firkser (660k).

Let Mariota, Woodyard, Kelly, Pamphile, Brock, Sims, Pruitt, Johnson, Milton, Fluellen, Brock, Smith, Gilbert, Batson, Woodside, and Jennings walk.

Cut Delanie, Dion, Wake, and 7 bottom of the roster no-names with no dead money.

Leaves us with 13.5M for 2020 at a projected salary cap of 224M according to overthecap.com. Which is higher than I've seen the projection on other sites.
That's with no free agents or draft picks signed. And a whole lot of roster spots to be filled.
Did I miss any cut candidates?

 

I like this

And yes, cut Wake while youre at it

 

So you cut or let walk 25 players?

 

Just for the sake of fielding a full team here... if we kept the 7 no names I cut that amounts to about 3.5 M. Which leaves us with 3.5M.
Cut Wake and save another 5.5M, leaving us with 9M.
That means weve let go of 19 players, havent signed any free agents or drafts picks, and only have 9M available.
Generally 7M for rookies, right? So for the final 12 spots, weve got 2M left. Somethings gotta give.
Either some other cuts are coming or one of Tannehill, Henry, Ryan, Conklin is not getting re-signed.

Unfortunately, I could see Logan Ryan walking. With us having Adoree and Butler, that 12(ish)M is probably going to be needed elsewhere.

 

Yes! I knew I was missing someone. Editing post now.

 

Wake can replace that new gladiator mascot we have

 

I need to look, but it may be applying the dead money hit for Delanie, Dion, and Wake that doesnt apply if we cut them post June 1. So, we may actually have more money than I stated. But, the cap could also not be as high as overthecap projected.

 

Something nobody has mentioned but do we have any current contracts that could be reworked to make cap room?
