Roos thinking about retiring.

[Captain Morgan]

Our LT market keeps getting smaller.

 

With college LT's getting injured or returning to school, a really weak free agent market, and our screaming need,

this is not good news.

Titans LT Michael Roos is considering retirement.

"That's a very strong consideration for (me)," Roos said. "It has been 10 years and it's been a lot of fun, but mentally it starts taking a drain on you sometime so we'll see." Going on 33, Roos is recovering from a "variation" of microfracture surgery on his right knee. He was placed on injured reserve in October. Roos was still playing at a high level before going down, but the Titans already have his replacement on the roster in 2014 first-rounder Taylor Lewan

Doesn't look too good.  Time for Gettleman to do something spectacular.

Doug free used to play LT and was pretty good, bring him in

[Mr. Scot]

That's not a shock.

 

He's older by NFL standards and has been injured a few times in the last few years.

[Peppers90 NC]

He's been injured the last 2 or 3 seasons. While it sounds good on paper, I doubt he would make it thru a full season.

[La Pantera]

probably should

This was his only injury in his career. I bet he'll play another year or two. Whether for us or not, I don't know.

The injury this October was his only career injury. Don't know where people are getting the idea that he's been injured.

He wasn't out due to injury but prior to the season there was talk they might let him go because he was thought to be declining.

 

That's what originally generated the preseason talk of bringing him here, but it obviously didn't happen.

I remember it being because of his cap hit and that they drafted Lewan and signed Oher. All I'm saying is it's not as easy as people think to walk away from the game. You'd have to really really really not like playing to retire when teams are still calling you. Obviously anything could happen but if I had to bet one way or another I'd say he returns. Hope we can sign him because, regressing or not, he'd be 100x better than Bell.

Accepted.

[Jackofalltrades]

Don't want Roos anyway, old and has a significant injury history.

I would rather draft a OT than sign a free agent OT. We would probably save money where as we could have to over pay an above average OT in FA if there isn't many available.

I see us drafting at least one OT and signing a few UDFA as well as signing some cheap free agents to compete for the OT positions.

Gettleman knows how to find talent without spending much money so I wouldn't be surprised if he can find a starting OT or two this offseason without spending much.

Sounds like a Roos, a cunning attempt to trick us, smokescreen for the draft.
