I’ve seen a lot of blame being thrown Ran Carthon’s way for him bringing in Andre Dillard for 3 years, 30 mil but let us all consider some things.
-
Dillard can be released this offseason and Tennessee will free up 3 mil in cap space with 7 mil going to dead cap. For comparison, Mike McGlinchey (who has not been playing well) has 29 million of his contract going to dead cap alone next year.
-
At the time, Ran had little to no money to work with because re-signing Big Jeff was a huge priority.
-
All of the “high end” free agent OTs from last year have been disappointments when you consider their MASSIVE contracts with no flexibility. Seriously, look up Orlando Brown Jr and Mike McGlinchey. They are far from the elite money they have received.
Still wish it could have been a one year prove it deal
It was a scratch off ticket that didn’t work out. I have zero problem with it. Hell be gone next year and we’ll be out like 17 million or therabouts.
