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.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
