    Correct. So instead of signing a guy that they don't want, they can wait and pay one that they actually do want around.

    If either, or both, become average - at least - our secondary suddenly becomes good.

    Yep a pro-bowl LT is a very expensive position.

    Let's suppose we play with a $50mil cap disadvantage for 2 seasons so we can spend it on Mariota and Lewan (doesn't make sense unless they are gonna pay a HUGE amount of the contract up front). We ARE at a cap disadvantage ON THE FIELD for 2 seasons!!! So if we don't spend it this year and another team does, how are we not at a disadvantage THIS season???

    No, YOU broke it down over the life of the contract which is somewhat meaningless. Then you broke it down over guaranteed money...also rather meaningless since guaranteed money is not actually all guaranteed from day 1.

    And it only took many pages of posts to get you to admit we only spent $29mil in cap space in free agency. Not remotely close to the $84mil you've been rambling about for days/pages, right?

    You took JWill's comments literally, not figuratively. His comments I'm sure are in line with the thinking that we should/needed to have done more. 1 or 2 big time players would make a huge difference!

    An btw, ranking us in terms of the league is also not particularly useful in money spent. The facts are we spent $29mil of our cap. We have another $48mil doing nothing while we have holes on the roster that could be playmakers instead of question marks. My way makes us better. Your way puts us at a disadvantage for as long as this huge gap continues.

    You might notice there are only 4 teams in the league with more than $33mil in cap space. Jags, Browns, Niners and Titans. None were playoff teams. But while the other teams were doormats, we were close. You wanna stay close but short...or do you wanna win?

    How much of Mariota's career do we want to waste taking YEARS to build a secondary?

    You do understand that we have our best chance to win while Mariota is on his rookie contract because the difference is at least 1 and a half star players we can have now as opposed to when we're paying him $20+mil/yr.

    And I'd like to go to another SB that the Titans are playing in and WIN!!!

    Preferably before I'm dead!!!

    Incorrect. How is putting $50mil less on the field NOT a disadvantage during the year(s) you're doing it?

    Good points Gut, but this FA class was trash

    I'm not upset one bit were not wasting resources on average players
