What are some pros and cons for the Tennessee Titans letting Jack Conklin walk in free agency.

The simple answer to the Tennessee Titans potential free agent woes is: if you have a talented player, you keep them.

Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple and there is going to have to be some give and take from the team this offseason as they try to figure out how to juggle their free agents while trying to be active on the market themselves.

Now, I should say that I firmly believe that cap space is a myth that people use to justify the actions of front offices who either don’t value players or who don’t know how to structure contracts correctly.

Theoretically, you should be able to extend players at market value in perpetuity with a salary cap that has nearly doubled during the course of the current CBA.

But, if the Titans do have to make a tough decision it seems like Logan Ryan is the odd man out of the “big-four” free agents in Tennessee. What if he isn’t the only one?
