    Bradford got a 1st rounder. Bridgewater got a 3rd after not playing for 2 years. Cassel brought back a 2nd rounder. Jimmy G netted a 2nd rounder. Palmer netted a 1st and 2nd rounder. Alex Smith brought back a starting CB and a 3rd round pick.

    I think you underestimate the value of a starting caliber QB. Tanne would be a hot commodity on the trade market.

    Pats did the very same thing with Cassel and got a 2nd.

    I don't see any situation where the Titans let Tannehill go. He either agrees to a deal or is tagged. Now, whether he is tagged and traded or whatever remains to be seen.

    It'll be an interesting next couple of weeks.

    How many of those QB’s were 32 when they were traded?

    Palmer is prob the only one who was close to that age.

    Eagles tried to trade Foles for draft picks and couldn’t do it. Redskins tried to trade Cousins and couldn’t. It’s not as common as you make it seem especially considering they’ll have to pay him $27 million this year and sign him long term. Jimmy G was on a rookie deal for a year.

    Are you arguing for a 43 year old Brady?

    What? No I’m saying franchising Tannehill to trade him is a bad idea.

    I think the Titans can win with ether guy. I like Tannehill and think he will continue to be successful here (although not as successful as this year). He comes with a lot of risk though. If he wants top 5 QB money and wants a bunch of it guaranteed I would be really hesitant to shell that out. Especially when you can get Brady on a much shorter deal with less guaranteed.

    Can you trade someone under the franchise tag? Has that ever been done?
