Titans cut Adoree Jackson and Dennis Kelly

Stop using logic!!!

 

I wasn't for drafting Conklin and wasn't for drafting Wilson...unless the guy can truly be a LT then I'm not drafting him in the first rnd. I'm also not paying my RT as the 2nd highest paid RT in the league.

 

Well you're not the GM so you don't have to worry about it then lol

 

We have some agreements here.
I also think it was a waste to pick RT in the first last year. That’s regardless of Wilson being that particular guy. I didn’t want any OL in the first.
Beasley be a waste of the money saved not re-signing Conklin is hindsight. I like the attempt with Beasley/clowney but it was a miserable failure.

as far as value for Conklin, I think there is some argument he was overpaid because of his performance the 2nd year after his injury but not drastically overpaid. I just don’t think the Titans had the money to spend on him knowing they had to address the pass rush.
Clearly JRob was happy with what Kelly brought for cheaper anyway, at least until his “prospect” developed which he never did. Ultimately Kelly did pretty well for the season despite a game or 2 (including the playoff game) where he was beaten.
I still like not having Conklin on the CAP especially considering how many other players just had to be cut and all the “restructure” comments for like the entire roster that I’ve seen around here.

I think those general 1st round % numbers are fine but don’t go into every case by case situation. It’s just the titans cap availability and the overall cost for Conklin didn’t match up. Not saying overpaid, not saying titans wouldn’t/didn’t value him but just had to make some financial cuts to improve the team in other areas. Conklin was just the cap casualty.

 

I am hoping if JRob and Co. think we need more help at RT that they do it through FA after the draft. Kelly is still out there, we could offer him a team friendly deal to come back. There's also Fisher and Schwartz who played for KC last year.

All that being said, I thought Sambrailo was descent last year filling in for Lewan. He may even be better on the right side. I say we are set at OT anyway.

 

Agreed. I think we're done at OT.

 

Theres every chance the 2nd year of Conklins deal is more than $14m on the cap.

Also, hindsight. This paragraph is full of hindsight.

The majority were happy with letting Conklin go 12 months ago, everyone recognised we needed more pass rush.

No one really beefed with letting Conklin go in order to chase pass rush in FA. Obviously it turned out very badly, and if he had his time again JRob would surely have either signed other pass rushers, or kept Conklin and drafted pass rush instead of Wilson. Probably the latter.

You could have the same conversation about every other team in the league over a 5-year period.

 

yeah...

Titans put a value on Conklin, like they always do, and made an economic decision to watch him leave. Its what the Titans do.

They are usually correct... but looks like possibly this time they might not have been

 

This 3rd round COMP has to be an absolute home run.
