What the Tennessee Titans Should Actually Do With All That Cap Space

Share This Post

Well, free agency and the draft are in our rear view mirror, and the Tennessee Titans have a butt load of cap space left. Will Lomas, long-time class act and elite level coverer of the Titans, wrote about all that cap space and what the Titans should responsibly do with that.

Courtesy of Titan Sized:

The Titans sit 4th on the list with $37 million in cap right now. They already have one of the most solid rosters in the NFL and if the guards can play up to 2016 level I am not sure they have a weakness right now.

While that is the case this year, Robinson knows that great rosters are built years in advance. That means that the Titans need to sign Marcus Mariota and Taylor Lewan to extensions now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah – that sounds cool and all. Lomas makes an excellent case for signing Mariota and Lewan long term. They could do that….or, they could take all that money and…

Bring back the Kona Ice truck

It’s like the only thing from the Mike Mularkey regime that I hope sticks around. Kona Ice is delicious, and I can’t imagine a better treat than a big ol’ tub of it after a hard practice. I think the Kona Ice truck alone bought Mularkey another year.

Hire Tracy Lawrence and/or Pitbull

They don’t even have to sing the National Anthem, and you don’t even have to get both of ’em. Just have ’em come out and sing in all kinds of spots. The two greatest entertainers on the planet today.

Recreate Jurassic Park

I think this is my favorite idea that I’ve had yet, and that’s saying a lot because I have, not to toot my own horn, had some tremendous ideas in my day. But, you could just have the offensive and defensive lines play the dinosaurs and then you wouldn’t have to find/create actual dinosaurs.

Give Michael Griffin an actual contract

You want to send your former players into retirement? You give ’em a pension worth having. $4 million – boom – here you go, Griff. Enjoy your retirement and thank you for your years of service.

Bring back the $25,000 TGI Friday’s trips

Rumor has it that Vince Young once spent $25K at the TGI Friday’s off of West End. Buying Patron and Grey Goose by the bottle, paying for hundreds of hot wings, ordering rounds and paying tabs for the whole damn bar.

Yes….all at TGI Friday’s.

I could live to be a thousand years old and I probably couldn’t spend $25,000 at TGI Friday’s. Applebee’s may be a different story, but that’s beside the point. The point is that the Titans have the power to bring back $25K TGI Friday nights. You could even pay Vince Young to show up. Seven nights a week. Sounds like it’s too good an opportunity to pass up.

Give it all to Mike Keith, Jim Wyatt, and Amie Wells

No good reason for this. The Titans team just works hard – it’s time they earn some proper recognition for the bunch that they are. Just give them money for no real reason other than that.

Pay Mariota’s child support

Seriously, you know it is not easy on Marcus to have to cut those checks to Tom Coughlin every month to take care of his son, Barry Church. The Titans could be a stand-up organization and help take care of the children.

Buy J-Rob every light blue vest in existence

You take care of the people that take care of you. It’s that simple. Jon Robinson obviously fucking LOVES vests, particularly in Titans colors. So, you take that magnificent hunk of cash and you buy every single one you can. It’s the equivalent of the care he’s put into the Titans, so it’s only right.

Hire us to host a Titans Dance Party

Seriously, we would not charge that much at all. Most of us can dance. We’re all a real barrel of laughs. It could be a great time.

I’d add “buy Quinton Spain a shirt,” but nah – I dig it. You can’t tame that kind of wild, and honestly, Spain may be my spirit animal.

So, there you have it – I think we’ve addressed the Titans cap space quite well. Don’t tell me you don’t get good Titans coverage on this site, either. It took me a long time to do this journalism.
