    How much cap room did this free up or if it did since he retired?

    Jumping the gun massively to call Lewan a "top LT."

    I also thought the Titans should have traded back and likely could have still drafted Lewan. We'll never know, probably.

    Also thought the Titans were passing on some guys who may have a bigger impact over the course of their careers.

    So you are saying he wasn't a top LT in the draft?

    Thanks for all the years Mike, you da man.

    Hopefully Lewan can have half the career than Roos did.

    0. His contract expires after the 2014 season.

    No, I'm saying he's not a top LT in the NFL. That should have been pretty obvious.

    Seemed pretty obvious the original post was about the draft.

    Not at all. What's a "top LT" in the context of the draft? Lewan was the 3rd LT off the board, so him getting taken at 11 would actually be a reach in most years.

    Besides, "top LT" varies wildly from draft class to draft class. Michael Oher was the third OT drafted in his class. Is there anything at all "top" about him?

    I figured as much. Would have loved to have him back but when it's time it's time.

    Much props and respect from this Titans fan. Roos was a great bookend LT for us for years. He will be missed.
