Bye-Bye Albert:Stomps into DC

[NashVol11]

Honestly, it'd probably be Gage and McCairens again assuming he's not cut...sigh...

I think Hawkins will be good, but I also think he is very much in the Derrick Mason-type mold, meaning development-wise he's not going to be ready to be a full-time starter for 4-5 years, hopefully sooner.

But also, combined with the loss of Brandon Jones to SF, the titans will have to sign or draft a WR at least for roster-requirement / depth purposes

Davis...I guess was depth purposes and he was supposed to be a really good kick returner or something at FSU...maybe they're hoping that latter part will manifest itself in a year or two...

McCareins is a free agent and the Titans honestly don't really care and will probably let him leave. They may re-sign him, but it's a small possibility and it will probably be as a third or fourth receiver if they do. I think they'll just let him go though.

I agree with waiting on Hawkins. But yeah I don't think the Titans are too concerned with losing Jones and have seen options out there that they like better. I think they're tired of waiting for him to develop and stop dropping passes. And his signing may have started a domino effect because it sent Bryant Johnson to Detroit, making the Titans the front-runner for Nate Washington right now.

And yeah I like Davis as a slot receiver (we had just lost Bobby Wade when we drafted him and I remember thinking Davis was just a better version), but now he just seems like a worse version of Hawkins. Hawkins seemed better as a rookie than Davis as a third-year player, and he can return kicks too. But I don't know. The Titans' front office knows much more football than I do.

He will make $29 million in the fifth year(option year) of the contract which the Redskins won't pay. So it's 4 years, $48 million, $41 million guaranteed.

$100 million or $48 million, either way still a tidy sum. I could get by on either, if I really watched it.

In his last season he had a total of one pick and was getting burned much more frequently. He was no longer a shutdown or Pro Bowl corner. His prime was around 2000-2001 and he was released in 2004. He hasn't been nearly as good with the Ravens as he was with the Titans, and there is about a 95% chance he will get cut by the start of this season.

The whole defense had gone to crap at the point I believe - you can't blame that on him. If there was a decent group of LBs and D-linemen playing with him he could have done something.

I honestly feel they just didn't want too pay B Jones too much. He was never great, but he did improve on the drops alot. I do hope that domino effect works out. However, if we're stuck in a "need a WR for roster number place" I could sadly see them resigning McCairens for a 1 yr deal again or something...

True, I dont think Davis really turned out the way they hoped either. I do think Hawkins will develop, but with the time it's going to take it's possible that the team's defense is going to have been worn down too by that point. Not sure how I feel about Hawkins taking kicks yet either.
