Wrong. I didn't sign a contract at work that doesn't allow me to go solicit myself to competitors. Mett did. You can talk about how shitty the Titans are all you want and none of that changes this fact.
Link to where this is a part of his contract? Obviously I'm not related to him but your argument about this is possibly the dumbest shite I've ever seen posted on this board. Players ask to be traded all the time and it's completely fine. But yea keep making up imaginary rules as to why players can't ask for a trade if they're unhappy with their team's god awful front office and coaching
I'm just saying that he has two options: stay and become a backup until his contract expires and he gets cut for Mariota, or miraculously win the starting job and get cut because he doesn't have anybody to protect him or catch his passes or help him win games on defense. Sure, there's the .00001% chance that he ends up being the next Tom Brady but seeing as how that's probably not going to happen and his livelihood rests on his next contract year it'd probably be a good move on his end to leave the dumpster fire known as the titans

wut So players can just walk out in the middle of contracts and sign somewhere else? News to me. His comment, which has now been retracted (I wonder why), was not smart in regards to enticing someone else to trade for him. That was my point.
And the retraction only backs that statement up.

He "expressed interest in being traded" word for word. When exactly did he try to sign with another team again? You're just straight up making shite up at this point

I was responding to this completely false and ridiculous statement you made you window licker.
You said this and then said you didn't know the contract rules. Good god

And you're right. Players ask to be traded all the time...
When they have more than a year of experience and have established themselves. And then when have contract leverage on top of that. Did Mett have any of that?

I will never, ever, feel bad for a "career backup" qb. Might be the sweetest nob un all of sports.
Don't get me wrong, I hope he gets a chance to start, even if not with the Titans. But being good enough for a backup role aint bad.

He can ask for a trade if he wants to you fricking dumbass. There's never once been a clause in a single NFL contract that says that if a player is pissed that they can't ask for a trade. What are you not understanding here? Your argument is completely invalid and you're basing it on an imaginary clause that you just created in your head
Posted on 5/1/15 at 1:01 pm to southeasttiger113
No freakin shite he can you dumbass. Link where I said he can't ask for a trade... We'll be waiting all day.
I said his doing so was dumb. He cannot however leave his job and go work somewhere else like I can mine, which is what you said.
How in the frick can you not understand this?

And another made up stat, link to where only established players ask for trades? Weren't you just trying to talk about Matt Flynn who was traded for big money after being a career backup?
Posted on 5/1/15 at 1:06 pm to blkhawktiger
And I've given you 1000 examples as to why asking for a trade is by far the best move in this situation and you keep trying to argue the logistics of his contract because you don't have a single legitimate argument to support your stance. Crappy franchise, crappy coaches, crappy supporting cast, contract year coming up soon where he'll lose out on a ton of money if he stays, favoritism for Mariota because of the amount of money invested in him, there's literally not a single good reason for him to stay

Players can ask trades all they want. I said it's only smart for those who are established and have leverage to do so. Wtf are you talking about?
You're crossing into a different conversation and connecting dots that aren't there. My mentioning Flynn and Wilson had to do with the ability for a franchise to give the guy supposedly the backup to go win the starting job. Had nothing to do with trading/free agency.

And I've given you reasons it's not smart. It's whatever man. You realize he has retracted his statement. You're spewing paragraphs on a side of an argument that is now null and void.

Who the hell is gonna trade for mettenberger?
Considering the Titans just signaled that a guy they drafted in the 6th round is not the answer at QB, and is therefore not of starting quality, they cannot expect to get anything more on a trade than a 6th round pick for Mett. They clearly did not make the case that Mett was a steal as a 6th rounder.
So if you're another team like the Saints that has a veteran QB and want to see if a late round guy can learn from the best, why not offer a 7th round pick for him?
Is Mett better than the projected 6th round QBs that will be available in this draft or better than the 9th best QB this year? Considering 9 QBs may not even be drafted this year, I think trying to trade for Mett with another 6th rounder is a worthwhile gamble.

Since when does Mett not have any leverage as far as a trade goes? He probably has the top 3 most upside of any young QB in the league right now and that's all the leverage he needs. You understand that his reasoning for getting traded isn't to get a big contract right off the bat, right? He doesn't need absolutely any leverage right now as long as a good team will take him because it's a lot more important that he sets himself up for a contract as a starter in 3 years with a good support system around him than staying in a situation where he'd get released as Mariota's backup when his current contract is done which would lead to him no longer being in the NFL.
Not sure what's not clicking for you or if you're 17 or something and can't understand the way that life works but if somebody offered you a .01% chance at making $17,000,000 a year for 12 years or a 60% chance at making $5,500,000 for 5 years which one would you take? That's pretty much the situation Mett is in right now and he'd be an idiot to stick around and shoot for the former IMO, maybe you disagree and that's fine but I'd easily go with the latter and I think that anybody that would take the former is a moron, just my opinion though. I just think that there's about a 99% chance that he gets screwed around in favor of the #2 overall pick and ends up getting released in a few years if he stays with the Titans, we'll just agree to disagree though

"Since when does Mett not have any leverage as far as a trade goes?"
ESPN's Paul Kuharsky, who covers the Titans, one hour ago:
"Mettenburger has zero leverage in terms of forcing a trade."

Your problem is you are too frickin retarded to realize that while he may have a better chance to succeed somewhere else, he can't force a trade. You can type all the paragraphs you want but nothing changes that. It makes your argument null and void. Hence why I can't believe you're still typing all of this.
1. He's under contract and has zero leverage.
2. He rescinded his statement.
End of story.

Wait I thought you were just bitching about the fact that this conversation was supposed to be about why you think it's a bad idea for Mett to request a trade? Now my arguments are null and void because you're speculating that he won't be traded immediately at his request? His ability to, key word, FORCE a trade has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation genius. Why don't you stick to the topic instead of changing directions every time I tell you to point out specifics as to why I'm wrong about why Mett should do everything that he can to gtfo out of Tennessee whenever that might be? Typical ranter moron
