I also think its gonna be a pretty obvious fail... as his play will return to the mean, and he wont lead the league in completion %-age above expectation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry McCockinner Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 1 hour ago, playtowinthegame said: Yeah but he's joining Derek Henry, and Ryan Tannehill in free agency. The Titans only get one franchise/transition tag. Someone will break free and hit the open market. Titans obviously won't let Henry go. It's down to Tannehill and Conklin. Who do you think is hitting the open market? Not Tannehill. I don't think they will need to let any of those guys go for cap reasons. They have over 50 million in cap space and some guys that can be cut or restructured to open up more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be noted that they did not offer Conklin his 5th year option so I could see him wanting to test FA. If we want him I think we can get him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That $54M will go quickly. $27M on a franchise tag for Tannehill (or cost of an extension), whatever Henry would cost, plus they also have to make decisions on other FA's like 3 of their top 4 CBs (Logan Ryan, Tye Smith, LeShaun Sims), RT Dennis Kelly (who would presumably take over starting duties at RT if Conklin leaves), starting OLB Kamalei Correa, WR2 Tajae Sharpe, and some other key backups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Imagine if I’m DH and Tannehill got a 27 mil next year for throwing like 6 passes in a game and I’m getting paid less to carry the ball 35 times ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClashFan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 If the Titans don't tag Conklin, the Jets might have a chance. IIRC, the Titans did NOT pick up his 5th year option b/c of his knee injury. So, maybe he's not happy that they didn't show confidence in him and wants to test the FA waters. FWIW, Titans fans and some sites think that the Titans will offer him a deal to become the highest paid RT in the NFL. Even if he shakes free, there are other teams out there likely make lucrative offers to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe not plug and play guys but there are a number of solid prospects. Biadasz, Ruiz, Cushenberry, Muti, D.Williams, Hennesy, Harris are all solid prospects depending on the system you run. Not a lot of top end talent but good depth at the position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Jet Fan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 For everyone saying OTs don't shake free...he is basically already free. Similar to the Jets and Robby Anderson, the time to try and sign him for a hometown discount would have been last yr (when they didn't pick up his option) or during the season where maybe he signs for less just in case he gets injured. He is two months away from being the best young OT on the market with several teams with TONS of cap space in need of an OT. Why on earth would he decide to forego that now to take an offer from TEN when he knows that their offer will likely still be on the table two months from now? Not saying he won't - maybe he just loves TEN and the organization that much - but even then they need to sign Tannheill, Henry, Logan Ryan... and they already have two guys on the OL making 16mm and 11mm... so while there is a chance hes just a Titan for life type guy... I'd bet anything he'll be hitting FA - and should be the Jets top target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardTodd27 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Conklin isn't going anywhere. PFF has him rated as a top 10 tackle and Conklin just helped pave the way for this year's rushing champ. If you ask me, he's probably more valuable then either Henry or Tannihill. But if he some how does shake free............you make him the highest paid tackle in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he'll be tagged. Either way I believe the Jets have an opportunity to go after him - will he decide to stay in Tennessee if the money is close? We will see. You can say the same for Brandon Scherff as well as Anthony Castonzo...will these guys want to block for Darnold instead of their incumbent quarterbacks? I think we have a shot. I don't view Dwayne Haskins, Ryan Tannehill, and Jacoby Brissett as guys a lineman would view having more upside than Darnold at this point. At least with Sam Darnold there is a chance he could be a really good quarterback. He's flashed the potential, and needs some blocking to help him become the quarterback he can become - free agent lineman coming here could have ownership in helping Darnold reach his potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjasi Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'd be all in on Conklin. The Titans have an interesting decision to make. They are obviously resigning Henry. I would pass on franchising Tanny, but you know they will be pressured to do so. I'd imagine that a team willing to blow Conklin away with a big offer would have a legit shot at landing him.

That would indeed make sense. No one is giving up a 1st round pick to steal Tannehill away so this would just give them the opportunity to see what Tannehill's market value is and match an offer if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Conklin's injury history is the reason TEN declined the 5th year option he missed games this year and looked good in the playoffs - they would let him go (and also the reason why the Jets should stay away) because he's not an ironman type of player. he's always hurt and super prone to concussions Dennis Kelly was like their real Right tackle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
