    Two years ago, the Eagles took advantage of having their QB on a rookie contract and loaded the team in FA to make a Super Bowl run. It paid off.

    Last year, the Rams took advantage of having their QB on a rookie contract and loaded the team in FA to make a Super Bowl run. It paid off.

    Mariota is already out of his rookie contract, but nearly half the starters on this Titans team, including a number of future stars, are still making rookie wages. Take a look.

    Derrik Henry $1.7 mil

    Corey Davis $6.9 mil

    Jack Conklin $5 mil

    Taywan Taylor $1 mil

    Jonnu Smith $800K

    Kevin Byard $2.2 mil

    Jayon Brown $700K

    Adoree Jackson $3 mil

    Rashan Evans $2.6 mil

    Harold Landry $1.5 mil


    This is chump change compared to what many of these players will be making in a year or two. Now is the time to make a run and JRob clearly knows this. The Titans will be as close as they've been in years to maxing out the salary cap with the moves they're making. There is still a bit of space left.... but it's exciting to us going all in!

    Just win now and I wouldn’t care nearly as much about a dismantling because of cap casualties.

    The catch is win now.

    As long as we get a true 3-4 NT this offseason to complete what could be a really good Defense. Would mind us drafting Dexter Lawrence in the first round and an OLB in the second.

    Lawrence may be there in the 2nd actually, I'd like to trade up using picks next year and get Williams, could give up next years first and be well worth IMO

    Win now mode?

    Decent players but Cameron Wake and Humpheries don’t seem to me like “win now” moves.

    "Future stars" is probably being quite generous (or naive tbh). Sure we hope they are all going to be future stars. But it's much more likely they are going to be just "good players."
