"The Titans are interested in keeping Keith Bulluck — at least that's what General Manager Mike Reinfeldt told the veteran linebacker's agent Thursday.

It was their first discussion since the end of the season. Agent Gary Wichard in turn told Reinfeldt he plans to keep an open line of communication with the Titans throughout free agency.

Bulluck, who is recovering from ACL surgery, is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent March 5.

"We will figure this out when it is time to figure it out, the way most deals work," Wichard said. "They are interested in keeping him and we'll see the end result.''"
