    True dat. I wouldn't mind keeping Hope if he took a major pay cut either but I don't see him willing to do that. Why would he?

    It's either that or he gets cut, then goes somewhere else with a pay cut. Why leave a guaranteed starting job.

    I could be wrong, but I thought if you cut somebody there was still a portion of their salary that was counted against the cap. The so-called "dead cap space".

    I believe that's only if the cut happens after the new league year starts, i.e. during the season. Unless the money is guaranteed. That's why most players love signing bonuses.

    "Dead" cap money doesn't count in 2011. It applies in 2012

    It's still pretty darn confusing.......That's just what I read recently about dead money.

    As soon as we signed Hasselbeck, I thought we were beginning a new logical, aggressive free agency style. Now, almost all of the top free agents are gone. Classic Titans.

    We've got to start being more aggressive in cutting players and signing free agents. It makes no sense to have not already cut Hope and Gage.

    Bud, you're about to die. Start spending money.

    RSB.....smart money is spent after all the big names are hired for inflated/stupid money.

    Reinfeldt and the Titans have been very good at being smart. Vanden Bosch, Babin, Hope, Witherspoon, Ball are good examples of smart money.

    Who did we really miss on? I'd be willing to give you Ray Edwards, but outside of him there's no signing that really jumps out to me as something we should have done.
