    The more I think about this it makes sense. Not sure it isn't already a done deal actually. We skip on WRs until the 4th round and draft Evan's replacement in the 3rd. Julio can be let go when AJ gets paid but we do make a run when the fire is hot with Henry and Tannehill. Plus we didn't go out of our way to grab a TE in this draft either so maybe Hurst is in the pot (saw they did sign Briley Moore).

    We basically swap Evans for Hurst and Julio and give them a 2nd round pick. Makes sense to me. Both Evans and Hurst were denied 5th round options so maybe both get new contracts. The Evans and Hurst deal could happen anytime. They just drafted one of the best TEs to ever come out of the draft so Hurst makes sense. Plus Arthur Smith and JRob basically have no reason to not work a deal that can help both teams since we won't butting heads unless we both make it to the SB.

    Only 1400 followers so don't take this at face value. But he appears to be a freelance journalist who previously ran a small scale sports station, so he may actually have some connections.

    I'll start believing it when I see the Titans have restructured Tannehill.

    So is AJ going to become the #2? No way. Julio won't be a #2.

    Yeah. I understand that you don't necessarily need to designate who is #1 and #2 but no way the Titans target #11 any less or change that the offense runs through #22.

    With the new season, I think you could see us running less. That extra game puts a larger toll on King Henry and I'm sure they'd like to keep him fresh.

    that is a good point about the effect of the 17th game on RBs...hopefully Evans can spell Henry some as well.

    In terms of targets, Julio averaged 1.5 more targets a game than Corey Davis did. Not a huge difference especially if some of Jonnu's targets go to Jones.

    Then you make sure he has a quality backup.

    Easier said than done. You're still going from the No. 1 RB in the league to a backup level RB, so the drop off will be noticeable regardless.

    If you're using Henry even 10-15% less per game, his overall effectiveness stands to go down substantially. The offense will have to adjust somehow.

    I think Brian Hill along with Evans can help ith Henry's workload.

    As far as Julio, I agree he's not a #2 neither is Brown, so instead of trading for Julio and the contract it will take why didn't we draft a decent #2?
