The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... The Titans thought they were going to be able to keep Cook, but they might not have been in the same ballpark. According to Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean, the free agent tight end’s deal with the Rams is worth $35.1 million, and could grow to $38.5 million with incentives. That includes $19 million in guarantees, more than half the total value of the deal.

The Titans considered franchising him, but didn’t want to fight over the different between a tight end tag and a receiver tag, so he ended up walking. And as PFT's Darin Gantt notes, Cook’s contract surpasses every expectation, and puts the pressure on the Rams to throw it to him enough to justify the expense. He’s an excellent option in the passing game, which the Rams sorely needed.
