That is....SO MUCH F'N money for a 30 year-old-receiver.

My goodness.

Ridley is a good player, and he was a few freaky TD drops away from having had very good statistical season last year in a middling Jaguars offense.

But...yikes. In a year this loaded with WR talent in the draft? To pay THAT kind of money for a WR?!

Yowwwwza.

No doubt. Like our Von Miller effect. We need X, go over-spend on an older guy. Pray he is elite for 3-4 years into this mid thirties.

I wonder if Burks is on the block.


I'm a real sucker for trading late round picks for supremely physically talented former high round picks in need of a 2nd chance.

I guess that's my way of saying that if Burks IS on the block and the Titans would like a 5th or 6th round pick for him....I'm in!

Shocking amount of money. 

With the WRs in this draft coming out, paying that much for a guy like Ridley in FA is just a horrible idea IMO. This is how bad teams stay bad.

Well it should be obvious to Bills fans - covering two receivers is much harder than one. Having two legit guys to guard drastically changes what the D can do against. Huge overpay but can do that when you have the cash.

I don't know how the Bills are going to get an "insurance" WR to replace Gabe with how most of these deals are for WRs.  Even a WR3 is going to cost a lot.

Having Will Levis's top two receiving options be a 30-year-old and a 31-year-old -- and both on big contracts -- seems...kinda weird to me?

I mean, on the one hand, he's got reliable vets to lean on. On the other hand, you'd think you'd want a youngster at the position that Levis can grow with? 

Plus, deciding not to pay 24-year-old AJ Brown and then deciding to pay 30-year-old Ridley two offseasons later (yes I know it's a different front office) is such a weird look for the Titans.

Maybe I'm crazy. Probably not. I think they're building their team weirdly.

As I have noted before in here, owners may be billionaires, and on the surface they may appear to be "smart", but a lot of them really are not too smart. Being rich does not equal being intelligent, shrewd, and/or smart.

Congrats to the Titans for getting 70 catches, 6 TD’s and about 800 yards production for that money.

 

Someone needed to be paid there.

They did that already. Mack Hollins. Another big-bodied, downfield threat, run blocking guy that can start opposite Diggs in a pinch but hopefully won't have to once they draft a rookie high.

WR1 Diggs
WR2 ??? (hopefully rookie)
WR3 Shakir
WR4 ??? (hopefully rookie or another FA)
WR5 Hollins/Shorter

I think whoever the GM was when traded AJ Brown no longer on team after that season when traded brown I might be wrong.

 

Horrible trade whoever made that.

GMs make most of the decisions although occasionally they do put valuable input as Pegula did on Josh recruitment trip.  Usually the issue is when owners override the people they are paying to do evaluations and do football decisions as $nyder did wanting players signed to attend to his parties.

That replaces Gabe's production but not the position.  Need a WR2/3 as insurance in case we end up pulling an Elam.
