    SUMMARY: The Titans have been criticized heavily over the past year for having lots of salary cap space and not using it on big-name free agents. But the Titans are hoping to use their remaining 2008 salary cap on many of their own players according to GM Mike Reinfeldt. "The good thing is we're in a position now where we essentially have all of our guys counting under the cap," Reinfeldt said. "There's two guys not signed in Albert (Haynesworth) and David (Stewart). We still have a lot of room we can use to get a head start for next year. That would be important to us." The Titans recently reached a six-year, $43 million deal with Michael Roos.

    I don't think there's a single person on this board who would argue that it's a good idea for the Titans to lock up the talent already on the roster to long-term deals. Now's the time to actually get it done.

    We've already signed Roos long term. Nice job on that one.

    KVB is under contract for a couple of years. No need to re-sign him this year,.

    Stewart, Bironas, and Finnegan are must signs.

    AH would be perfect, as long as we can get him to agree to a reasonable contract. I'd also be willing to trade him if we got a first, and a third.

    not a bad idea, look at the guys we have lost cause we didnt lock them up.


    Calico, Kearse, Mason, Bennett, Laboy, Odom , .... Titans tag line should be " We Make Em' They Take Em".

    Oh forgot about Roos. KVB will need the extension eventually might as well do it now.

    Might as well wait one more year. If we don't sign so many guys, we can front load the contracts. He'd be the last one on the list that I want re-signed, Stewart being first.

    KVB is getting older, don't forget that. He'll turn 30 this fall.
