NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Newly-hired Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon has to immediately roll up his sleeves and get to work on a roster coming off of a 7-10 record, the worst in five seasons under coach Mike Vrabel.
That won't be an easy task. According to Roster Management System, the Titans sit $23.1 million over the $224.8 million cap.
Only four teams have a worse cap deficit.
The new league year starts March 15 with a negotiation period allowed to begin two days prior. Carthon will be tasked with making the Titans cap compliant before then, and he'll also have to find a way to get the Titans headed back in the right direction.
