Titans Having Some Cap Problems

-- Titans Facing Tough Cap Decisions --

The Nashville Tennessean reports a Titans receiving corps without WR Derrick Mason or a secondary without CB Samari Rolle could become reality. Then shift your focus to the trenches and picture a defensive front without DE Kevin Carter or an offensive line minus OT Fred Miller. Remove S Lance Schulters and CB Andre Dyson from the mix as well, and tough-luck PK Joe Nedney, too. The Titans have imagined such scenarios, and may take steps to make them become reality.

They must be under the NFL's salary cap by the first of March. Between now and then the organization will have to make some very tough decisions. Some of the upcoming changes have been discussed internally for weeks. Some big-name players are sure to be cut while others will have a chance to save themselves by restructuring their contract or taking a pay cut. Some unrestricted free agents will depart for other teams. Other players simply won't be invited back. As for the biggest question of the offseason — will QB Steve McNair return or retire? — only McNair knows the answer. The Titans are almost certain to put a younger, less experienced team on the field next season. "If we do it, it will be abrupt, it will be wholehearted, it will be painful, but it will be quick," GM Floyd Reese told the Tennessean.

As far as I know there is no opening the wallet in the NFL. Every team has the same amount of money to work with. It sounds to me like they gave out some bad contracts and are going to pay for it this off season. The Browns were in a position like this the year after they went to the playoffs.

I'm aware of that. I meant that Dallas has enough cap room and should consider taking a shot at some of these players. Primarily Samari Rolle and Derrick Mason.
