I doubt it. No one else has traded for him either, so it's not just a Titans thing. People just don't want to trade for and pay a semi-injury prone, 30 year old malcontent.

 

No thanks

Aside from unreliable production, I think he is the product of a system and benefits from the other players around him. I do not think we have the personal to capitalize off of him.

 

I think it would help us next year, and the year after, but by the time this team is ready to challenge for a title, he'd be too old to help much.

We are in the 2-4 years away stage right now I think. This year, our goal should be to develop Locker, incorporate these new young talents into the team and get them some experience and coaching, and look to get into the playoffs and gain some playoff experience.

If Locker comes out and sets the league on fire this year, that could move the schedule up a year, and THEN you start adding high price quick fixes.

Really, everything about the future of this franchise depends on how Jake Locker does this year. If he comes out and looks like a stud, we are golden, and you start gearing up for title shots. If he comes out and implodes, well that sets us back a couple years. That's why it is, in my mind, foolish to start Hass this year. We HAVE to find out what we have in Locker, and start developing him under fire.

For now, I say just keep the youth movement moving forward.

 

Seeing as we've been too busy chasing Peyton Manning and drafting very questionably, I doubt it. D-line isn't a need...we have Leger Douzable and Scott Solomon to help anchor our line.

 

1) He's old.

2) He wants a ton of money.

What is so hard to understand?

 

and he's always injured.

 

I don't want him, he is a locker room trouble.

I read through the story. He doesn't come off as a malcontent to me- at least by these reports. He apparently chose last year to not sign the extension offer and continue to play out his current contract. He states he was told verbally his contract would be re-worked and he'd get an extension more in line with what he was expecting. (Sounds a lot like the CJ story but on a smaller scale.)

OU's problem is that he over-values himself. His 12.5 sacks last year were decent but probably not deserving of a 12-15 million guaranteed 3-4 year/ 30-40 million contract that he wants. I believe he has a good chance of simply being cut in a few weeks. He might be worth a look if/when that happens.

 

No thanks, he's decent but he wants to be overpaid and someone will overpay him. Definitely not worth given up any pick up for him.
