McNair wants full salary

You've got to be kidding me. I say cut him. We wont win many games without him this year, but with his 14 million cap number we wont win many games with him either. Bus Cook says "He's scheduled to make 9 million maybe 10 million this year. Why would he take less?" Confused

Ummm, I dont know... Maybe because he's only a shell of his former self. Tom Brady doesn't make that much money. I feel reluctant to draft Vince or Cutler because they both have this dork as an agent. We need to pray Leinart falls to us.

Such a selfish thing to say.... Wink

Reese hasn't given up hope though and I'm going to be honest here.... I still think McNair will be back come next season and he will be leading this team....

I think this is another Eddie George deal!! I personally feel like we should just let him go, there is no team in there right mind gonna pay him 10 million! I say give Volek the ball for a year and draft Jay cutler or Matt Leinart! Spend the money on D HHHH!!!!!!!!

Excactly why we need to keep him..... Volek is just plain poor in my eyes..... I just don't rate him as a starting NFL Quarterback. Just look at what he did against a depleated Cardinals secondary....

I still think Steve will take some sort of cut because anything can happen in the NFL and there is a lot more going on in the NFL that we don't know about. It wouldn't surprise me to see McNair back next season.... I hope so anyway or we will be picking even higher next season....

Has anyone considered this might be part of negotiations? I've only seen similar things said by other players' agents about 15 million times before. And just because we have $10M in extra room this year doesn't mean we can just "spend it on the defense." You sign a guy to a multi-year contract (which is the only way to attract FA's) and it affects the cap for years to come. McNair's money is only applied to the 06 cap.

I think we can trust Reese. He's proven he knows what he's doing.

He may be trying to save face, he may no longer want to play for the Titans (maybe he wants to go to a better team I dunno ) so he is demanding money he knows we don't have so both the organization and him don't look like the bad guy, hes gone just because we can't afford him.

The agent is just doing his job. He wants his share of the money as well, so he'll push for as much as possible. However, I still see McNair in a Titans jersey next season.

Well, this is for sure... we won't cut him. But lets say this is not just posturing by McNair and his agent and he is looking to leave for a SB chance, what do we gain as a franchise. We don't have to cut him right away cuz we can easily get under the cap without doing anything with McNair's contract... we can even keep his contract with the extra 1M bonus denying his huge 50M bonus and be well under the cap. But we can gain a lot by trading him. A first rounder for him this late in his career is really doubtful, but we could get a second rounder for him. This will have to come from a team that is making a serious playoff run this upcoming year in need of a QB... can anyone say Miami, Baltimore and Chicago?

So by trading McNair we can get a 2nd round pick plus an extra 13M on the cap. Volek stays on as the QB with VY the backup, and we have an extra 2nd rounder to find a high quality guy, plus we have an extra 13M to spend on wherever the team sees a guy they want.

I still think we will work something out with him and keep him as a Titan... and I want that to happen. But it's not all bad if he isn't a Titan next year, since the franchise can gain some good things by watching its franchise player go... as heartbreaking as that may be to all of us long time fans.

longo are you a titans fan or what? have you seen all the things that mcnair has done for this franchise, and will do no matter what QB we pick for him to mentor (which will be young, yes!). he is a great QB and will continue to win games now that the offense understands chows system more and the rookies gain experience. we keep mcnair no matter what and just hope that he wont be selfish so that we can make the team better
