The Tennessee Titans wanted to wrap up their offseason with a trip to Fort Campbell.
With soldiers at the Army post busy right now Good Sellers For Fake NFL Jerseys , the NFL team spent the final session of minicamp with police officers.
The Titans made the very short trip to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department's training center near the team's headquarters and learned about how officers are trained , use of force and gun safety .
"We thought that we would mix some gun safety in with interaction with the police department," coach Mike Vrabel said Thursday.
"There was a lot of chiefs, there was 30 police officers, there was cadets. Our guys got to work one-on-one, and those guys were the coaches for the day. We tried to listen and pay attention the best we could, and had a little fun along the way."
The Titans also shot guns on the range, a first for Vrabel. The coach said the Titans met with NFL officials Wednesday going over league policies, which include no firearms allowed at a team's building, parking lot or hotel. Vrabel said no, this visit was not tied to the national anthem.
"This is about us being with the police officers in our community and gun safety," Vrabel said.
The Titans wrapped up the session, returned to the team's building and then players scattered for their last break before reporting for training camp July 25.
Quarterbacks Tell Authentic And Replica NFL Jerseys , injured players and rookies will be due back July 22.
Even with the offseason ending, the Titans finished some business Thursday afternoon by signing rookie linebacker Harold Landry to his contract to wrap up their four-man draft class. Landry, a popular choice to go in the first round of many mock drafts, fell to No. 41 where the Titans traded up to select him .
The linebacker ranked second in school history at Boston College with 26 sacks and second with 47陆 tackles for loss.
Vrabel is expecting everyone under contract to be at training camp, though Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan is the only question mark with Landry's contract finished. Lewan worked out with the Titans during most of the offseason program, then skipped this week's mandatory minicamp wanting a new contract .
"I would expect all players, all coaches, and all personnel staff to be here under contract," Vrabel said of Lewan. "But, do I think he will? I have no idea."
Only right tackle Jack Conklin is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp. Conklin is recovering from surgery to repair a torn left ACL hurt in the Titans' divisional playoff loss at New England.
Wide receivers Rishard Matthews, who watched the offseason sessions open to reporters, and Corey Davis, limited over the past week Logan Woodside Jersey Bengals , are expected to be available.
Vrabel reminded the Titans before they left to get as much personal business handled before training camp as possible. He also told them about the countdown clock he keeps on his phone.
"We're 87 days from our first game," the first-time head coach said. "I think that starts to put things in perspective, and when I say that I get excited to be in this position. 87 days from a real NFL football game. That was the first message, that we're that close."
Notes: The Titans had four players in minicamp and signed WR Brandon Shippen and CB Jarell Carter on Thursday. They waived WR Zach Pascal and CB Jeremy Boykins to clear roster space. Shippen came into the NFL as an undrafted free agent and has been with Miami, the Rams and Chiefs. Carter was undrafted out of Trinity International and spent two months on Arizona's practice squad last year.
Between the LeBron James guessing games and the Kawhi Leonard trade talk, it seems NBA shopping season is well underway.
Itâs actually just about to start.
Terms like salary caps and contract options have been in the news for weeks, so fans might have an understanding of what they all mean. For those who donât, hereâs an attempt to explain how this all works.
Q: When does free agency start?
A: It begins at 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 1. So thatâs early Sunday morning for teams in the East, but Magic Johnson and the Lakers can actually start their recruiting on Saturday night.
Q: When can deals start happening?
A: Players and teams can agree to contracts immediately, but except for some limited exceptions, such as rookies inking their initial contracts, nothing can be signed until after the free agency moratorium period ends, which is noon EDT on July 6.
Q: How is the salary cap determined?
A: Itâs basically a formula based on basketball revenues. Last seasonâs was $99.1 million Breeland Speaks Jersey Chiefs , and this yearâs will be announced Saturday.
Q: Why is James a free agent when he had a contract for next season?
A: His $35.6 million salary for 2018-19 was a player option. He chose not to take it and became a free agent instead . Same thing with Paul George, who opted for free agency instead of the $20.7 million he was due in Oklahoma City next season, and Kevin Durant, with an option for $26.3 million in 2018-19.
Q: Does any team have a chance to sign them?
A: Not really. Teams either need to be under the salary cap, or use some of the various exceptions that allow teams to exceed it (for example, to re-sign their own veteran free agents). There are exceptions allowing teams to spend even if they are over the cap, or above the luxury tax line, but those are not big enough to afford a top-level player.
Q: Any other ways for players to become free agents before their contract expires?
A: Yes, sometimes they have an early termination option. Carmelo Anthony could have gone that route, but decided to keep his contract, which plays him $27.9 million next season, intact.
Q: Besides James and George, who are other big-name free agents?
A: Chris Paul Cheap John Kelly Jersey , DeMarcus Cousins, Isaiah Thomas, Tony Parker, J.J. Redick and Derrick Favors are all unrestricted options that could draw interest. There are also players such as Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon, Zach LaVine and Marcus Smart, but they are restricted free agents and their current teams would be allowed to match any offers they receive and keep them.
Q: Are most teams far enough under the salary cap to really improve themselves?
A: No, there are many more that are already over it or up against it. But the Lakers have slashed enough payroll to position themselves to afford James and another maximum-salary player.
Q: How far over the cap can teams go?
A: Depends on how much theyâre willing to pay for it. There is a tax line (last year at about $119.3 million) and teams begin incurring a penalty once they reach that. It gets pretty severe depending on how far and how many years in a row they are over it.
Q: How does Leonard fit into all this?
A: Heâs under contract two more seasons but apparently doesnât want to wait for free agency, telling the San Antonio Spurs he wants to be traded even though he could cash in big by waiting and re-signing there. Teams that canât afford a marquee free agent can try to entice the Spurs with a trade package for the 2014 NBA Finals MVP.
Q: Will things settle down once most of the signings are finished?
A: Not entirely. Though deals can start to be finalized on July 6, that doesnât mean free agency will end when the moratorium period ends. And talks never really stop in the NBA offseason. Last year it was Kyrie Irving asking to be traded from Cleveland and the Knicks trying to move Anthony that lasted deep into the summer, so count on something coming up.
