The more I think about this it makes sense. Not sure it isn't already a done deal actually. We skip on WRs until the 4th round and draft Evan's replacement in the 3rd. Julio can be let go when AJ gets paid but we do make a run when the fire is hot with Henry and Tannehill. Plus we didn't go out of our way to grab a TE in this draft either so maybe Hurst is in the pot (saw they did sign Briley Moore).
We basically swap Evans for Hurst and Julio and give them a 2nd round pick. Makes sense to me. Both Evans and Hurst were denied 5th round options so maybe both get new contracts. The Evans and Hurst deal could happen anytime. They just drafted one of the best TEs to ever come out of the draft so Hurst makes sense. Plus Arthur Smith and JRob basically have no reason to not work a deal that can help both teams since we won't butting heads unless we both make it to the SB.

I'll start believing it when I see the Titans have restructured Tannehill.
So is AJ going to become the #2? No way. Julio won't be a #2.
Yeah. I understand that you don't necessarily need to designate who is #1 and #2 but no way the Titans target #11 any less or change that the offense runs through #22.

With the new season, I think you could see us running less. That extra game puts a larger toll on King Henry and I'm sure they'd like to keep him fresh.
that is a good point about the effect of the 17th game on RBs...hopefully Evans can spell Henry some as well.
In terms of targets, Julio averaged 1.5 more targets a game than Corey Davis did. Not a huge difference especially if some of Jonnu's targets go to Jones.
Then you make sure he has a quality backup.
Easier said than done. You're still going from the No. 1 RB in the league to a backup level RB, so the drop off will be noticeable regardless.
If you're using Henry even 10-15% less per game, his overall effectiveness stands to go down substantially. The offense will have to adjust somehow.

I think Brian Hill along with Evans can help ith Henry's workload.
As far as Julio, I agree he's not a #2 neither is Brown, so instead of trading for Julio and the contract it will take why didn't we draft a decent #2?

32 and coming off an injury I'll take him but probably not for more than a third. What number will brown switch to??
Julio switches to 8 or 1
Or Brown switches to 1 and Julio takes 11
I think aj said he'd give Julio 11 since he's his idol so. So yeah I think option two would be most likely. I can dig that
What are you talking about? Here we go again with this idea they tattoo a #1 on a guy. The question is who plays Y, X or Z and at this stage of Julio's career I'm sure he is more interested in winning a SB than anything. You aren't "designated" the #1, you earn the #1 by your production. The defense is the one who decides who the #1 WR is by who they double cover. This idea Julio will only want to go to another team with a lesser WR across from him because of some ego thing is ridiculous.
Julio seemed pretty okay with sharing targets with Ridley. I don't see it being an issue for him here either.
Also, Corey Davis had 92 targets compared to AJs 106. Both guys achieved that in 14 games. Not a really a huge difference. That's 1 less target per game.

Yea, great WR, Bama alum and with AJ, Julio and Henry our offense is unstoppable. We have real SB winning capabilities if this could somehow happen. Convert Tannehill's base salary to bonus and add another year to his deal.

Call it glass half empty ; but this looks like the worst depth in football (certainly on this squad in recent memory) bench behind the starters sure looks paper thin.

You didn’t read that I understand that there isn’t necessarily a #1 or #2 WR? You’re nuts if you think Julio doesn’t want to remain the featured receiver and be paid like one.
