If he is out there than hell yeah sign him up. I have my doubts that he won't be franchised.

If Conklin is out there? They didn't pick up his option.

They could. But imagine paying 3 offensive lineman top dollar...then they still have to sign Mariota.

I think it depends if Mariota will take a deal that has little guarantee beyond one year. I think the problem is they aren't ready to move on from Vrabel but you don't want to force Mariota down the throat of a new coach down the road.

If they view him as a franchise QB, they'll try and sign him to market value. I'd think their worry about a future coach is way down, if even on the list of worries.
He's a game manager but he's efficient. His health will be the major concern.

I bet it is, Vrabel has made some horrendous decisions when it comes to game management that have directly lost them games. When coaches are looking at potential HC jobs one thing they look at is the QB and their reliance on that guy being "their guy". Many coaches want their own guy, so if you force Mariota on an incoming coach it may hurt their ability to get a top flight coach. I think they give Vrabel one more year, but they most likely are thinking out long term.
Mariota has regressed horribly over the last couple years. He has thrown 24 TD's in the previous two years. I doubt they want to pay him 25+ million a year for that kind of production and that is aside from his refusal to push the ball down the field t times. Mariota may not want a deal there because his lack of success may be attributed in his mind to their lack of weapons, and this year their line. That could leave them looking at a tag north of 30 and I just don't see that, especially with the next two QB classes.
This brings me back to my original premise, if he is willing to take a market level deal that has an out after one year I could see the deal getting done.

Rumor is that Titans will draft another QB in 2020 and Fromm may be their guy.

I saw that mock draft on cbssports (it is just a mock at this point, don't know that i'd call it a rumor--unless you're talking about a different source). In the same mock, they have Tua going to the Bengals #1OA.
They have the Dolphins, with 3 first round picks, taking no QB with any of them.
And of course, in their previous mock a couple weeks ago, they have the Titans taking Burrow and the Dolphins taking Herbert #3OA. That's a pretty big swing in such a short time.
The consensus of all the mocks i've seen do show the Titans taking a QB though.
