Titans release Demarco Murray

Just let Bell go at this time. Get a 3rd next year. Pull the tag and say good bye.
 
I'm pretty sure you get 0 compensation if you pull the franchise tag on a guy.

If Washington decided to pull the franchise tag to get Cousins' contract off its salary cap, it would lose the right to recoup a 2019 compensatory draft pick that it would get if Cousins were able to leave right away as a free agent. So tagging Cousins would undoubtedly carry risk.
 
I can’t figure out Murray. Has had an up and down career. Not sure if it has to do with him or the offenses he has been in. Would probably ask for more than I would be willing to risk.
 
Plain and simple. Derrick Henry is better and younger. He showed it after DeMarco got hurt.

Murray has got a lot of miles, but he did outplay Henry most of the time. Henry was nothing more than a negative yard Rashard Mendenhall who popped off a couple long runs in garbage time. He was garbage other than with a full head of steam once he gets to the second level. I know, I had him on my fantasy football team.
Murray would be Great depth behind Bell, but probably too expensive. I think the Steelers have a much better run blocking line than the Titans.

Well, that guarantees Bell will be here for the 2018 season whether he holds out for 10 games or not. ...or whatever he decides to do.
 
Any idea if Mitchell will be released tonight or tomm to open up more cap room
 
just saw fa opens up on the 14th normally it’s the 10th hopefully his wanna be thug *** is cut I would settle for tre Boston but vaccaro if he hits the marketer should pounce on him. Much better runners in the div sobif we stack the box we need to make sure that 8thguy helps

legal tampering starts on the 12th though...as if it hasn't already started.
 
He would be worth kicking the tires on. He was never used properly and would look good in black and gold

If Bell holds out, are we in the salary cap hole for his entire season salary or do we get a pro-rated amount back for each game he misses? I realize we don't have to pay him for games he doesn't play but does his entire salary still count against the salary cap? For example, lets round his annual to $14 million and he holds out 10 games. Is his cap hit for 2018 only 6/16 of $14 million? If we get no compensation if we remove the cap then why did we even use it? If we pay him $14 million for this season we have basically given up on the season.

I think it depends on the ultimate resolution of the player's deal but you should get a credit for unpaid salary on the next year's cap.
 
Murray is probably done as a lead back. He's be a great backup though. He's a good receiver so he could give Bell more rest without having to toss out the playbook.

Connor was awful in pass protection which is why even before he was injured, it was hard to get him playing time. Connor in the game meant a run play. They weren't going to risk Ben's safety with Connor protecting him.
