"Mike Keith recently wrote not to be surprised if you see the Titans take a linebacker with the 30th overall pick in this month's NFL Draft. I agree...and according to sources odds are high that scenario could unfold."

[Jones31]

He won't be there....

[shadowboxin']

I wouldn't know how to feel about this pick. The only USC games I watched were tOSU/OSU/PSU and I was only focused on the offense. All I've heard is hype... whether that's attributed to his talent, or the fact that he goes to USC, I don't know.

[Jones31]

He went to Ohio State.
You're thinking of Cushing

Damn, I've been out of it.

So Bulluck is fixing to turn 32 on the 4th, is making 5.5mil this season, and next season is a free agent.

Thornton will be 31 in Nov., is making 3.75mil this season, 4 mil next season, and is a free agent for the 2011 season.

I guess it's bye bye Bulluck after this season, and bye bye Thornton after next season.

Definitely need good replacements, and a good CB to replace Harper who will turn 35 in Sept. and is a Free Agent after this season too.

Also Vanden Bosch will be 31 in Nov., is making 5.3mil this season, and is a free agent after this season.

Mawae just turned 38, and will be a free agent after this season. He may be ready to retire and go to work for the NFLPA.

Hentrich will turn 38 in May, will likely retire after this season, and is a Free Agent after this season too.

That is a lot of change!

so they might take a cb, lb or de in the first, cause we know it wont be a center or punter. i didnt realize the age of most of our core guys, i mean i knew kvb and bulluck were gettin up there in fb years but dang.

what happened to just a couple of years we were the youngest team in the league? by lookin at it with all the aging players we have, kvb, kb, craig h, the freak, kfc, thornton, harper and mawea nobody can say we dont have a vetteran core of guys.

the defense is going to be different to me w/o mr. monday night and vanden bosch when those days come. i just hope that they are replaced by somebody that can lead the team as well they do.

I was just telling my brother that I fully expect Bulluck to be a Patriot next season. He will thrive in New England.

[titan122]

god of all places i hope he doesnt become a cheatriot!:doh

that would be one of my favorite all time players going to my all time most hated teams. i dont know if i could take kb being a cheatriot:cry

after all that do we know who is being groomed to take bullucks spot cause there aint nobody i said NOBODY that can replace him!

Also: Jevon Kearse will be 33 in Sept, and is a Free Agent after this seaosn.
IMO LenDale White won't be re-upped after this season either.

Alge will be 32 in Dec., and is a Free Agent after this season too.

Ken Amato will be 32 in May, and is a Free Agent after this season.

Collins will be 37 in Dec, and is a Free Agent after next season.
VY may likely get cut after this season.

Casey Cramer is a Free Agent after this season.

Josh Stamer will be 32 in Oct, and is a Free Agent after this season.

Bo Scaife may be gone after this season. (Alge and Bo bye bye means big need at TE after this season)

Donnie Nicky is a Free Agent after this season.

Stephen Tulloch is a Free Agent after this season.

Fowler is a free Agent after next season.

Collin Allred is a Free Agent after this season.

Tony Brown will be 29 in Sept., is making 1.4 mil this season, and is Free Agent after this season.

David Ball will be a Free Agent after this season.

Chris Henry, Paul Williams, and Chris Davis, will all be gone between now and after next season.

WR Mark Jones will likely only be around for a season or two also.

Ganther is a Free Agent after this season.

Leroy Harris is a Free Agent after next season.

Jason Murphy is a free agent after this season.

Mike Otto is a free agent after next season.

By my count, that is 30 players who will need to be re-signed, or replaced via the draft or Free agency within the next 2 years.

Did anyone else's asshole just pucker?

We have 10 picks this year, and about 8 next season, so likely no trading up for good players. If we continue to do well, those will all be low picks too.

That is also a lot of quality vets to replace with rookies.

We can figure probably just 2-6 quality FA pick ups in the next two years also.

No telling where our Coaching contracts are at either.

Giving away the farm right now for Cutler would be as stupid as signing Haynesworth would have been.

We need a miracle, this will define Reinfeldt and our scouts as brilliant or incompetent.

We also just signed DB Faggins, and he will be a Free Agent after next season.

Vickerson is a FA after this season too. (hat tip to TTP77)

[titan122]

OUCH!:doh

NOW THATS GONNA LEAVE A MARK!

[TTP77]

Kevin Vickerson is a free agent after this season too if I'm not mistaken.

[Bobcat]

I could've done without seeing that list. Reinfeldt is gonna earn his money - at least he damn sure better.

[shadowboxin']

He went to Ohio State.
You're thinking of Cushing

Speaking of Cushing, please stay away... that goes for Clay Matthews as well.

Both are on the juice (http://www.nfldraftbible.com/Latest/usc_linebackers_test_positive.html)

If he falls to us I would not complain about the pick.

Did he punch your mother?

[TitanTom0987]

Did he punch your mother?

I hate him cause I go to Penn State. He's overrated and is an essential pile jumper to up his tackle stats. I think CB and WR are a bigger need for this team on top of that.
