** Off-Season Plan Thread **

Locker should be the back up qb and maybe start the season. I wish we could have seen tyler wilson play at the end I think he has the talent to be a good back up. We have to draft a guy if johnny football or carr are there in the first or we wait a round or two and take murray. Need to cut wimbley stewart CJ Griffin stevens Fitz and I think shonn greene. Need to work on a deal for verner (while holding the restricted tag over his head) give casey a new deal. And most of all and entire new coaching staff and new direction for TITANS FOOTBALL

 

Cap room- 7.2 mil.
Must cut players- Stewart, Stevens (june 1), Fitzgarbage, Greene (june 1), P. Bailey, Q. Johnson
Save- 15 mil. New cap room- 22.2mil
To consider cuts- Washington, Wimbley, T. Campbell
- would be better to restructure Wash and Wimbley (because he is a good 3-4 backer)
Save if 3 cut- 13.3mil New cap room- 35.5mil
- restructures: wahington- 3yr. 8m
wimbley- 3yr. 15m w/ in. (most likely won't happen, would get cut)
Bironas- 3yr. 6.5m
Draft:
TRADE with the browns for the 4th pick in the draft to get a qb. Looking at trades that have happened recently we would have to give up a lot. But qb is the most important position on the field and our biggest need. We would give up four picks for this ( !st and 4th this year and 2nd and 4th next year).
!st round- manziel, bridgewater or bortels
2nd- Antonio Richardson, OT
5th- Justin Ellis, NT
6th- Storm Johnson, HB or De'Anthony Thomas, HB
7th- bpa, Find that last pick gem

Re-sign:
Pollard- 2yr. 6m (let him test the market, try to get ward)
Otto- not a good player but knows the team and will be cheap
R. Turner- a good backup that won't cost much
R. Pitoitua- 3yr. 12m (We need this guy and he'll get this $)
Verner- tag him and see how blidi and cody turn out before we offer this guy a huge deal
D Will- only if he'll sign a 2 or 3yr deal for no more than 1.5 a yr

Free Agents:
wr- Jacoby, G. tate, T. ginn, J. maclin.....Of course only sign one of these guys, but all would help in the return game as well as wr depth
te- inexpensive blocking te like Hoomanawanui, maybe we look at other cheap guys here
oline- don't need any starters or even guys that can compete here, sign a couple cheaper good players that can play multiple positions
De- tyson jackson or michael bennett, would both be good additions to this new multifront d
dt- cody, I like this guy just think he needs to be in a different place. Wouldn't be to expensive and could contribute right away
olb- s. phillips, orakpo or larry english. orakpo would cost more money, phillips would be a vet that would contibute day one and english would be a good rotation guy
mlb- butler, dansby, spikes or smith. In that order we need to pay big if need be for this position, all four would be instant starters
cb- sign an undrafted rook or a very inexpensive vet. only need a guy here to compete against the young guys
s- ward is a guy I would pay a nice dollar amount for would also consider paying big for byrd

 

I thought this thread was about my plans for the offseason.

 

Did I just read Turner is a good player 615nick? He was awful all year.

 

No he didn't play good this year but neither did our entire oline. Maybe it wasn't all his fault and he could be had cheap with no guaranteed money. He's versatile and could be cut for free.

 

Rob Turnee is simply just too small to play in this league. Hes absolutley not coming back

 

I see no reason to cut Fitz. It makes no sense. We won't get anyone better to be a back up. And we can sAve money in other areas.

 

In my plan I have us cutting Fitz as well. My reasons for doing it is certainly to save money, but also I don't think he fit well behind Locker. I mean we had to change the whole offense to fit Fitzpatrick after Locker went down. Your backup should be able to run the same style offense. At this juncture we are still in limbo about our future franchise QB. If Locker is not the man then I'm fine having Curtis Painter as our backup so that we can get a high draft pick to grab our franchise QB.

My plan is to cut Stewart, Wimbley post june 1st, and Fitzpatrick. Then extend Roos and Washington. Making those moves leaves us with 28.5mil in cap space. With that we look to keep Pollard, Verner, and Ropati. We sign the best MLBer that we can in FA and check the RT market.

 

I agree with your qb plan. We need a backup that can run lockers style o if we are going to keep him.
