I'd be floored with Evans signed with us under any circumstances. At his age he'll be ring chasing and I can't imagine he won't have plenty of contending teams vying for his services. Signing with a 2-win team makes zero sense regardless as to how much you loved your OC that you knew for 6 months.

We may as well have kept Frank Reich if we're going to hire Mike Vrabel.  Vrabel strikes me as the kind of coach that everyone thinks is good for reasons, but couldn't actually name what he does on gameday that makes the Titans better.  So they just cite his leadership and whatnot.

When you consider the Titans were largely feasting on bad AFC South teams, they were largely average under him.  In 6 years, only twice did their offense finish in the top 10 (and this is with Derrick Henry).  Same for their defense (he also sucked as a DC in Houston).  They finished with 10+ wins only twice in 6 years, and in those 2 seasons, they got bounced in their first playoff game without scoring 20 points in either.

And to me, it is telling that NFL fans are higher on Mike Vrabel than Titans fans are.

People said the same thing about DeAndre Hopkins and he signed with the Titans.

Players will generally sign with the team offering them the best contract.  Yeah they want to win but they also want to get paid, and Mike Evans has already won a ring.  So he has even more incentive than Hopkins to take the best deal presented to him.  And I don't think it would be shocking at all to see Evans go with the team employing his former OC as head coach.

Much like tee higgins, why would either come here?

Careers are short in the NFL, its largely a myth that they go to the best situation, they like to say that but ultimately the money talks. If two contracts are similar, then sure the situations are the tiebreaker.

If we offer Mike Evans/Higgins the most money/years, they will sign here.

Especially guaranteed money.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 15 loss to Saints

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      The hell happened to our Te's...I gigured Evans would get a biggercroke coming off the bye week? Sanders?? He might need to put that weight back on. He's been about as underwhelming as Wonnum. And Tremble looks nothing like he used to btw.  Xavier in the top 5? Nah...Moton in the top 5? Pretty sure I saw him getting beat multiple times 3rd/4th qtr.

      I agree 100%.  Just to add, ANYONE that wants to sign BY to some 300+ million nightmare/contract, they can kick rocks first.  Like you said, brad adds nothing. This is war, just bring in a bright forward thinking OC that's going to come up with new plays and ........a fing game plan to beat a 1-8 or 3-10 team...... challenge the defense to defend every blade of grass and evolve this team.... By my eyes Dave is just another Ron Fox wilks 4.2 with his only success being if the score is low and able to run enough...(minus one game.) fug that, thats another big issue, Im just sick of the coach hires, its too many since Rhule.  Dave has earned the right to stay, but.......If Dave doesn't want his pilates lover to go be a video assistant for underdawg or whatever betting site that gives him a salary. Peace out bro....

      If it were that simple, Reich and Canales would have already done it. The next HC would have the same happen. If Canales is gone, I wouldn't be surprised if Tepper elevates Evero to keep him around with Bryce, Tremble and Chuba as agreed upon long term offensive pieces. I believe Reich and Canales would have gone different directions at QB and DC if they were allowed. Wilks even made it known this organization doesn't make the HC the primary partner in personnel decisions. Before the HC even gets a chance it likely goes Nicole > David > Dan > Brandt > Eric > Benjamin 1 > Benjamin 2 > HC I highly doubt hanging the HC wouldn't fix all the problems over his head.
