All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

"We're interested in Henry,'' Adams said yesterday from the NFL Meetings in Washington, D.C. "He wants to get out of Buffalo. We think he has a lot of ability. We think he has four good years left. Because of where he went to college I think he'd be real popular with the fans.
yep, this makes a lot of sense. But at this point I would prefer a player and a pick rather than just a pick. A pick won't help us this year. Problem is, the Titans don't have much experience left on their roster other than at DE. Bo Schobel anyone?

That's not a bad idea. We need a healthy TE, and it's a plus that he's a veteran TE who's a good blocker and decent receiver. With Everett out for possibly the whole season and Campbell and Euhus coming off knee injuries, we could really use this guy. I think they already had plans for Ben Troupe to start at TE anyway.

Whats the difference? You say a pick won't help us out this year. You really think we are going to get a player that will actually help us out? No way in hell we get a decent pick and a player that can actually play. I say just do the 3rd round pick and call it done. It's not like the Titans are going to break .500 this year so it will be a decent pick.

With Ben Troupe having foot surgery that will shelve him through training camp, I doubt the Titans are in a position to trade Kinney - who is their starter at TE. In fact, they only have 3 healthy TE on the roster and said they are looking to sign another one before camp starts.
Besides, Kinney, recently signed a long-term contract extension through 2008 to stay with the Titans, with $440K amortized per year. Since he has a $900K base salary, that means the Titans would take about a $860K cap hit to trade him ($1.76M in dead money). With them being in cap trouble (they lead the NFL in dead money), that would make no sense for them.

Finally, someone with some sense! Too bad he's a Patty fan.
Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

Excellent point. If you hadn't pointed this out, I would have. With B.Troupe hurting and S.Meier gone as a FA, the Titans are actually looking for a TE to sign for their mini-camps. With Troupe's injury history, even if he is back for the preseason, there is no way that the Titans would consider trading Kinney, who is now the only other truly experienced TE that they have on their roster.
So, forget Kinney. But, with B.Adams pushing for T.Henry now, the pressure will be on his GM F.Reese to cough up that third round pick that TD has been holding out for once Reese gets back from his vacation.
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.
