Bo Scaife is sticking with the Titans.
Adam Schefter of ESPN tweeted, and PFT has separately confirmed, that Scaife signed his tender, giving him a one-year deal with the team for a guaranteed salary of $4,908,200.
As a fifth-year player, Scaife is one of the free agents who would have been unrestricted in a normal year but were instead restricted in the uncapped 2010. That allowed the Titans to tender him at 110 percent of his 2009 salary, rather than the franchise level, which would have been $5.9 million. The Titans franchised Scaife last year, and he signed the tender.
In 2009 Scaife played in 14 games, starting 10, and caught 45 passes for 440 yards.
$5 mil is a decent pay day for Scaife. He’s on that plateau just below the elite NFL TE’s, and might be able to break through. But IMO, its a fair market deal for a guy like him.
When did signing the RFA tender guarantee the contract? As far as I know, a team can cut a player without any penalty or hit to their cap (yes, I know, there is no cap this year…)
Overpayment for an over-rated player. This guy isn’t an elite TE in the league and does not show up consistently.
The Titans must have money to burn if they wasted it on a slug like Scaife or he’s a “Fisher Favorite” and if thats the case why doesn’t he see the ball more?
