Fantasy (in my mind) pre-season trade

Deangelo Williams to the Titans for Michael Roos straight-up.

The Titans cut Chris Johnson and drafted U. of Washinton RB Bishop Sankey in the draft. They also used their 1st overall choice on U. of Michigan OT Taylor Lewan, giving them a wealth of quality bodies on their OL.

D-Lo, because he has mostly been used in a two-headed running attack, still has good tread on his tires for his age. Considering the state of the Titans QBs (Jake Locker, Charlie Whitehurst, rookie Zach Mettenberger) the Titans are going to be running the ball... a LOT. The Titan running backs are (currently) rookie Sankey, Shonn Greene, Leon Washington, and a list of nobodies. A RB like Williams would be *valuable* to such a team (especially one who has a contract only obligating them for a year).

Roos has one year left on his contract at $6,625,000.

D-Lo has 4 years left, but he can be cut before the 2015 season at no cost to whatever team he plays for. His 2014 cap number is similar to, but slightly less than, Roos' (at $6,000,000).

D-Lo could return to the state where he played college, provide a veteran presence in the Titan backfield, and tote the rock along with their new rookie, Sankey. And Roos would immediately slot into whichever starting tackle spot the Panthers prefer.

Somebody call Gett-Monster and lets force Tennessee to do this. :lol:

Do keep in mind that we can't count on Stewart being healthy 16 games, and I can't see anyone having an immediate impact as RB behind him...

 

Tolbert would do just fine..  then let the young bucks fight it out for backup...

I would make this trade in a heartbeat (but the Titans wouldn't).  LT >>>>>>> RB.  Tolbert could be our primary RB in a pinch.  Hell, I remember years ago when Brad Hoover ran for 100+ yards for us when filling in at RB in a pinch.

None of you realize that they are likely going to cut Roos if they can't trade him.. They've got Lewan and Oher and need some cap room. Why they would take on DeAngelo's contract, I don't know... But we can get him as a FA.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
