Agreed.

Hard pass on Nelson. He can't seem to catch the contested passes.
Our current roster is filled with those types not named MT.

Robbie Anderson/Breshad Perriman are Free Agents I hope we target, then draft another one in the April.

Robbie is a guy I thought we were targeting pre free agency deadline in 2019.

But you're right St. T ... probably won't come cheap. Sticker shock is too great. We could potentially land someone cheaper, younger, higher ceiling @ 1/3 the price.

Tajae Sharpe - WR Titans

Not the "sexy" name however he's a good route runner .. not a lot of targets with Brown and Humphries on the roster. At only 25, he would come relatively cheap. As a #3, he still managed to get 4 TD's on the season.

I'm thinking he retires. I seriously doubt he would pick his family back up again after having just moved to west Florida.

You may have answered, or at least narrowed his next chapter...

That's the mistake some of the talking heads are making. Just because he is in the state of Florida doesn't put him in proximity to any NFL city. He moved to Destin.

Destin to Tampa - 438 miles.
Destin to Miami - 645 miles.
Destin to Jacksonville - 327 miles.
Destin to New Orleans - 250 miles.

Rivers was born and raised in Alabama and his family still lives there. He moved there to be closer to his extended family and still take advantage of the Florida tax breaks.

When the Chargers moved from San Diego he commuted from there to LA.

SD to LA - 124 miles.

None of those other locations would make a commute from Destin a reality and he refuses to live away from his family. One other factor is that he has an open invitation to be a high school coach like his father.
