Keith Bulluck's Guaranteed Money is $150,000

//heads to Baptist Sports Park

I mean he’s a proven linebacker that could be had for pretty cheap. This situation should have never came up.

right?

Quit crying titans fans, even though there is no SALARY CAP this year we could not afford #53. 150k is to much to guarantee and with those easy achievable incentives it was too much for us to pay. Now get ready to see plenty of tight ends wide open over the middle for easy catches and scores. And if you do not like it. I will SUE you too. Signed .553 winning percentage coach. :)

After getting rejected by the Titans, maybe KB really just wanted to play elsewhere – to prove a point. And gave NY a home-town discount to boot.

If the Titans offered him $150k back in Feb., it could have been construed as an insult.

When people are involved, emotions tend to override logic. So a simple “we coulda had him for X amount of $$” doesn’t always work.

incoherent yelling

that treats TEAM CAPTAINS & FACE of FRANCHISE players like they are stray dogs.

I bet KB did feel insulted when they didnt get back to him. & why wouldnt he? Can’t blame him for wanting to play in his hometown though.

KB53 is gone. Yeah…maybe they could have signed him for that amount of money. But that would have been a dissrespectful amount for a man who has done so much for this franchise. Honestly…he has lost a step or two. And that was before the knee injury. It’s rare that I see my favorite team make a bad decision on a player past his prime. I have alot of respect for KB. But it’s time to move on.

You guys do a great job running this blog, but I could have lived without seeing this. I know KB may have a little gas left in the tank or he could very well be done. I hoped that either way we could have signed him so that he could have retired a Titan. He has been gone much like Mawae for so long now that I had already envisioned life with out him in two – toned blue, but after seeing this it just ruins it.

of reading about nothing but NEGATIVITY on this site.
Where has this site gone to? Honestly…
I see nothing but great potential in our offense, and our defense will have to only be better than last year. Everyone, if you are seriously this in doubt about the Titans, why don’t you go root for another team? The Titans have always been lowkey, even sometimes the ‘’ worst team ’’ in the offseason, meaning they are never active, let people go, etc… Keith Bulluck signed with the Giants, yes he WAS they key to our defense for years, but SHIT, let him go! WISH HIM THE BEST. The Titans DID NOT re-sign him. QUIT CRYING about it.

I do not see why this site has gone from one of the best ( kinda still in news wise ) but the people on this site are getting to be pathetic.

We are FANS, LET’S CHEER, not DWELL.

The End.

his play in 2009 slipped which could rather be an indication of his age or because everyone on the teams play slipped when comparaing to our 2008 season.

Why would they give KB a 30 million dollar deal? yes he’s been a cornerstone in the def for 10 years but I think everyone is just being overemotional. NFL fans and most Titans fans don’t tune in to the games to watch Keith Bulluck play and get 8 tackles a game. Bulluck has made some nice plays over the years and had his nights but he’s just not a very dynamic player anymore. I believe the Titans looked at the big picture and made the right move. Yes this is an uncapped year but that doesn’t mean we want a bunch of huge contracts looming around in a couple of years when there IS a cap again. KB is slowing down AND he just tore his freakin ACL. I think the general rule is that it takes a full year to get back to 100% after such an injury so giving Bulluck a guaranteed 10 million this year wouldn’t have felt that great to anyone but him.
As Titans fans we get very attached to our guys and it’s a small town so emotions associated with them feel very real. When Mac9 died and Kuharsky said he wasn’t HOF material I reacted very emotionally and made fuss all over the boards and emails because Mac9 was my hero and I wanted him honored. A year later I realize I was errant in my judgment and hopefully next year we’ll feel good about the Titans letting KB go to NY. I’m sure as fans we are not privied to many issues that go into these decisions. The Titans gave Bulluck a job and a home for 10 years and I don’t think we have the right to adamantly say it should have been 15. Bulluck was a fantastic player for us but he’s not what Ray Lewis is to the Ravens and we need to admit that.

they thought he was pretty much done even before the injury, and post-injury they don’t even think he could crack the roster. so in their eyes, any deal, even a tiny deal, would be purely money down the drain.

maybe they are right and maybe they are wrong in that analysis, and only time will tell, but from the way they treated him, it’s pretty clear they had no intentions whatsoever for KB to continue as a Titan.

im sad to see him go for obvious reasons, but i’m not gonna get mad until he proves that the front office was actually wrong in deciding he has nothing left. it was pretty obvious that his play wasn’t up to his normal standards last season, and a blown up knee sure isn’t going to help a guy who has lost a step.

Everyone knows his play took a small step back last year… We all saw him not make a play here or there that he would made two years ago.

Don’t you think the simple fact that he has more experience give you some reason to believe he would be better than anyone we are gonna put out there, especially a Gerald McGrath?

Wasn’t he always that much better than Thorton or Witherspoon that even taking a little something away in the athleticism department he would still be a step above both these players?

Really sit back and think about this, regardless of his age or his small step back in playmaking ability who would you like to take your chances with? Seriously, we are going out there week 3 to face the Giants… You taken your chances with Thorton and Witherspoon? Or you gonna roll out with the experienced, leader, playmaker and warrior that is Keith Bulluck ? I know my answer…

I think people are really undervaluing the leadership part in this. This team was lacking in leadership in virtually every area including the coaching/head coaching over the last few years except two, offensive line and Linebacker. I think Bulluck was the one player on this team that had the kind of respect that could demand accountability from even Fisher. When Fisher wants to go out and rock a Peyton Manning jersey, who the fuck you waiting to hear from? Who’s the one guy on this team that you really valued the opinion of and couldn’t wait to hear what he had to say? Bulluck… Who are we waiting on now as fb fans for some voice of reason? Michael Griffin? Gerald McGrath? I think not.

Some of my sadness has to do with the fact he is gone and isn’t coming back. Some of my sadness is that this team continually fails to stand by the warriors us as Titan fans grow to love and look forward to seeing week after week. Not too much of my sadness comes from the fact he signed with the Giants so cheap… I’m just truly sad to see him go, I don’t give a shit what the reasons for it are. And you clowns that have the nerve to say shit like “why are you guys so sad to see him go” or “why would you be so sad to see an overage OLB coming off knee surgery go” should really go do some self evaluation. My evaluation of you is that you are not only a Titan fan, your not even football fans. Football fans need some kid at heart, otherwise its pointless, you might as well stick to baseball and go root for the Yankees wearing your suit to every game rooting for guys named matsui and Sojo that aren’t even on the team anymore, just not knowing any different cuz your just ignorant fans rooting for a uniform without a person or a name or a number. Run on sentence

Don’t get this twisted, this isn’t negativity… This is calling it like it is, I will miss this guy as I miss good old Air McNair and my boy Eddie. And anyone that doesn’t has no credibility to me as a Titan or football fan.

Bulluck = Eddie George in Dallas

Like a band-aid when you’re not sure if you’re healed just yet…rip it off already and find out!

yes it was the original band-aid that protected you from infections, but in the end you’re going to need a new band-aid anyways, so its better now than later when the band-air is all dirty and infected and barely clinging on to your skin.

I dont think I can be any clearer.

i’ve read what you guys had to say about it, and i’m not going to come on here and spout off one way or the other about what your FO should or shouldn’t have done. i’m too far from the situation. All i’ll say is i’m glad that we signed him, if we can get 75-80% of the old Bullock we’ll be happy. Worst case scenario, if he can’t stay on the field, then we’re right back where we started. Either way, we kept your boy in blue, even if it’s a different shade, and we got him out the AFC for ya. we’ll try to do you fans proud, and believe we’ll root hard for KB every Sunday.
