Titans Considering Options in Free Agency

So what WRs do we have from the last two drafts that are under contract for a while?

It would appear that such a low offer to Wade may indicate a misunderstanding of the market on the part of the FO.

Also, cases like Wade and Henry in which players are "given a chance" does not mean that they remain cheap forever.

 

Wade and mccareins..

Wade, 26 years old, average production the last 3 seasons 30 catches for 354 yards.

Mccareins 28 years old, average production last three years 40 catches, 610 yards.

Market value? My guess is that the hitch for wade is the bennett deal. His people are probably suggesting that wade is worth half what bennett was so maybe they are asking for $3M. Mcareins might want 4M.

The real value of the 2 would be about $2.5M wade and $3.5M mccareins. That means we can sign both for less than the rams paid for bennett. It would be a solid value way to go.

And remember that while here mccerins was a good kick returner. He wasn't needed for that with the jets but this guy can help in that area.

A case could be made that mccareins isn't that much of a drop off from bennett. He did have a three year stretch from 03 to 05 where he averaged over 750 yards. At least he is the equal of kevin curtis.

I can see a scenario where brandon jones is our #1 with 800+ yards, mccareins our #2 with 700 yards and wade #3 with 400+. That is 2000 yards from our top 3 WRs which is great in this offense. As long as nobody gets hurt but roby and williams will both be third year players we can expect more from them and we will no doubt draft a couple of Wrs.

We have good TEs and our FB proved that he can catch the ball. A good pass receiving RB would be nice.

Our offense could be better than it was last year without spending much money..

 

I would LOVE to see the Darell Jackson trade go through and have a feeling Reinfeldt is working hard at making it happen. With DJ the clear #1, bringing in Mccareins to battle with Jones for the #2 could give us a vicious Wideout corpse. Add to that the potential signing of Eric Johnson, a top pass catching TE and some veteran help at the RB position to back up Lendale and we're talking about a top teir offense! GO TITANS!

 

i will give 5 bucks to the guy who accurately guesses who our starting rb and 2 receivers are.

 

I wouldn't mind Joe Horn and McCareins ..

RB.. i would like to see corey dillon and lendale.

 

If we could pull that off, the Wade/McCareines deal, it would be great. Sounds good on paper, hope it works.
Are we forgetting David Givens?

 

Huh?

Why would we trade for DJ unless the Seahawks want to get rid of him for cheap? DJ can get the dropsies like Bennett, would cost us draft value to aquire and he's not cheap to begin with. So for a guy without great hands or size, you're paying via the draft AND via the salary cap.

Not smart. We'd be better off signing a free agent like Kevin Curtis who, combined with Brandon Jones, can hold down the starting job til Givens gets back which gives us a solid WR core. Plus, this is a deep WR draft class so I don't want to give up a pick for a WR when we can get a good value with the draft pick alone.

Gut

 

I bet the real Bud Adams is thinking the same thing.

 

This Wade v. Bennett deal from the Titans fans view has really turned out laughable. Running a post with an attached poll, I asked, "Wade or Bennett" and the fans choose Wade. Bennett is offered $30mil while Wade is offered $1mil !!!!???? If we can sign Wade long term at half what Drew got, what a steal!
