Tennessee Titans Trade Rumors

CJ contract extension? Not so fast, says Fisher
Comment
February 5
Nashville City Paper
 
"Any plans Chris Johnson has for a renegotiated contract are "premature," according to Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher. Fisher, speaking from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., site of Sunday's Super Bowl, told WGFX-FM 104.5 The Zone that Johnson would likely have to wait regarding any extension, especially with a contract that contains three more seasons currently. "We've done things prior to players going into the last year of their contract. For me to come out right now, it's way too premature to say we have any intention of doing anything for CJ," Fisher said. Johnson, the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year, ran for 2,006 yards this past season, just his second in the league, and said at ..."
Dwight Freeney makes pitch for Keith Bulluck
Comment
February 4
Tennessean
 
"If the Titans don't re-sign Keith Bulluck, All-Pro defensive end Dwight Freeney would like to see the veteran linebacker finish his career with the Colts. "To have a guy who has the experience that he does around the locker room … that would be a tremendous help,'' Freeney said Wednesday. Bulluck and Freeney were teammates at Syracuse and remain friends. Bulluck, recovering from ACL surgery, is slated to become a free agent in March if the Titans don't re-sign him. "He is a tremendous athlete, tremendous talent, and a great guy off the field and I am definitely pulling for him, hoping that his knee comes back together, which I know it will," Freeney said. "Keith has worked so hard at what ..."
Titans add linebacker off waivers

"The Titans claimed former Cardinals linebacker Pago Togafau off waivers Wednesday. He played in Arizona's final two regular-season games, making six tackles. The third-year pro has also spent time with the Eagles and Saints, and in 15 games has 24 tackles. The Titans head into the offseason with questions at linebacker, as Keith Bulluck and Stephen Tulloch are scheduled to be free agents and David Thornton is coming off shoulder surgery."

"The Tennessee Titans made four minor additions to the roster, reportedly claiming linebacker Pago Togafau off waivers from the Arizona Cardinals and signing three players to futures contracts. The Titans added a pair of defensive ends in Marcus Howard of Georgia and Jay Moore of Nebraska and also signed tackle Nevin McCaskill, who played at Hampton."
Once again, Titans' Nickey plays free agent waiting game
Comment
January 13
Nashville City Paper
 
"In the NFL, Donnie Nickey is a survivor. Through seven pro seasons now he has made it as a Tennessee Titan, primarily because of his work on special teams. In those seven seasons, Nickey has just seven career starts at safety, including one this year when Michael Griffin was shaken up on the opening kickoff against Indianapolis. The other six came in the 2004 season. Twice before Nickey has been a free agent. In fact, in his rookie season, he was cut from the roster for one week when the Titans had issues and needed an extra punter. But Nickey has always found his way back to the Titans, and for the past few years has been Tennessee's special teams captain as well. "This is the third time ..."
Titans analysis: Don't look for Fisher at USC
Comment
January 10
Nashville City Paper
 
"With Pete Carroll on the verge of accepting the head coaching job with the Seattle Seahawks, speculation has been quick to rise regarding Jeff Fisher and the soon-to-be vacancy at his alma mater, Southern California. Don't buy into it. And here's why. First, Fisher is under contract with the Titans through 2011 and is one of the NFL's highest-paid coaches during that time. Besides, Fisher has, if not autonomous control over the Titans' on-field and front office moves, at least the strongest position inside the organization when comes to making the decisions he deems in the best interest of the club. A coach who likes to be in control of situations regarding his team the way Fisher does, is ..."
Don't buy the Fisher-to-USC talk
Comment
January 9
Tennessean
 
"Pete Carroll's not even out the door at Southern Cal and already the rumor mill has cranked out Titans Coach Jeff Fisher's name as a possible replacement. But don't bet on it happening. Carroll looks like he could be a done deal in Seattle, where he'd replace Jim Mora, who was fired on Friday after a 5-11 season. Carroll has enjoyed enormous success at USC, but it might be time to get out. The Trojans have plummeted back to earth, and there's talk of NCAA sanctions on the horizon. I figured it would only be a matter of time before Fisher's name came up, along with Jaguars Coach Jack Del Rio. They both starred at USC, of course. College coaches like Mike Riley and Jim Harbaugh have already ..."
Titans should pursue Cribbbs
Comment
January 9
Tennessean
 
"The Titans enter the offseason in need of a return man. Josh Cribbs wants a new NFL home. Perhaps the two sides, along with the Cleveland Browns, should break some bread in the coming weeks, months. This week, Cribbs said it is unlikely that he returns to Cleveland - this after the Browns' latest contract offer, reportedly at $1.4 million a year for six years. Cribbs' representatives have said they will push for a trade, and plenty of NFL teams should be interested in the Pro Bowler. The Titans should also be interested. While the offseason departure of Albert Haynesworth is well-documented, the loss of return man Chris Carr had a similar impact. The Titans kickoff return unit transformed ..."
Knee injury won't hurt Keith Bulluck's asking price
Comment
January 2
Tennessean
 
"By now you've probably heard the theory about linebacker Keith Bulluck, and how the Titans might benefit from his season-ending knee injury.

It goes like this: As a free agent coming off a torn ACL, teams might be less willing to throw money at him, so the Titans could re-sign him at a bargain price. The 10th-year pro's agent isn't buying it. "I'm not concerned or worried about anything in regard to Keith,'' Gary Wichard said. "Every guy's running around with some kind of scar on him. He'll be in great shape, work hard, and be ready to go. And he'll be a highly paid player next year, too. Plenty of people know about Keith Bulluck and what he can do.'' Bulluck ..."

Johnson's pursuit of 2,000 yards adds suspense to meaningless finale
Comment
December 26
Nashville City Paper
 
"The quest at Qwest is the only meaningful aspect left to the Tennessee Titans' 2009 season after their Christmas night 42-17 shellacking courtesy of the San Diego Chargers at LP Field. That "quest" of course is running back Chris Johnson's pursuit to become the sixth running back in NFL history to reach 2,000 yards rushing in a season. Johnson recorded his 10th consecutive 100-yard rushing game on Friday night, going for 142 yards on 21 carries with one touchdown. That gives him 1,872 yards for the season, leaving him needing to rush for 128 yards Jan. 3 against the Seattle Seahawks in order to reach the milestone. "That record would mean a lot to me," Johnson said. "That was one of my ..."

"Mike Heimerdinger should be the odds-on favorite to become the Bears' next coach if the McCaskey family gives fans the greatest gift of all -- a replacement for Lovie Smith. Smith wasn't going anywhere. That was the perception in coaching circles before Jerry Angelo left the door wide open for a coaching change before the massacre Sunday in Baltimore. Now the coaching community is buzzing with the possibility of a new head man in Chicago, and the Tennessee Titans' offensive coordinator is emerging as the most logical choice. The biggest decisions the franchise will make when the season ends must be made with Jay Cutler in mind. The Bears have lashed their future to the slumping ..."
Keith Bulluck: 'I don't know' about future
Comment
December 23
Tennessean
 
"Keith Bulluck never envisioned a parade or a salute on the LP Field video screens. But if this was it — if the veteran linebacker has in fact played his last game as a Titan — he never thought it would end with him grimacing in pain, helped off the field because of a season-ending knee injury. "It's unfortunate," Bulluck said Tuesday night. "My football season is over right now. I have to get surgery, and I am not under contract with any team. So I don't know what's going to happen next. "But you know what? I still like my odds, and I always bet on myself. I'm a born winner. I have been in too many situations in my 32 years to lose. Things are going to work out for me. I'll be all right.'' ..."
Vince Young practices, will be game-time decision
Comment
December 19
Tennessean
 
"With an audience of underprivileged children looking on after Friday's practice, Titans quarterback Vince Young served as conductor for the rookie class performance of Jingle Bells. Indications are Young also will lead the Titans against Miami. Young participated in the full practice Friday as the Titans wrapped up preparations for Sunday's game at LP Field. The injured right hamstring that kept him out of Wednesday's practice and limited him Thursday looked to be adequately healed. Coach Jeff Fisher didn't name Young the starter, however, leaving some doubt as to whether the fourth-year pro is 100 percent ready to return to the lineup. Young is designated as questionable on the team's ..."
Jevon Kearse's record may fall

"Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse said he hasn't paid much attention to Redskins rookie Brian Orakpo. That might change now that the University of Texas product is within reach of Kearse's rookie sack record. Orakpo had four sacks Sunday at Oakland, increasing his total to 11. Kearse set his mark of 14½ during the Titans' Super Bowl season of 1999. "I haven't really been following this kid," Kearse said, "so I need to check him out."

"Titans quarterback Vince Young returned to the practice field Thursday, but he wasn't ready to make any guarantees about his playing status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Without question, however, his chances of bouncing back from a right hamstring injury in time to start are looking more favorable with each passing day. "Today was a huge step for him and hopefully he can make a bigger one (today),'' Coach Jeff Fisher said. "We still have a lot of time. … I thought he moved around pretty well.'' Young was injured during the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Rams and didn't return. He got "good" test results on Monday, Fisher said, but sat out Wednesday's practice. On ..."
Vince Young is likely to play Sunday

Tennessean
 
"As Vince Young spoke to reporters on Wednesday, Coach Jeff Fisher stood nearby and gave him a thumbs-up, presumably for the quarterback's success at being vague when talking about his hamstring injury. Indications are Young will eventually get the thumbs-up to play Sunday against the Dolphins. Young didn't practice Wednesday, but there was optimism about his recovery. He said the hamstring "feels way better" than it did earlier this week and he hopes to play."

Tennessee Titans' Vince Young can't finish practice

"Vince Young aggravated an injury to his right knee during Thursday's practice, but Titans Coach Jeff Fisher didn't seem too concerned about the quarterback's availability for Sunday's game against the Rams. Fisher said Young suffered "a setback." Trainers put ice on Young's knee as veteran Kerry Collins completed practice with the first-team offense. Young injured the knee during last Sunday's loss to the Colts, but did not miss a snap. The team's training staff examined the knee earlier this week and cleared Young to practice. He's been wearing a wrap around the knee this week. "He has been trying to push through practice and he just had a setback so we shut him down,'' Fisher said. ..."

"Running back Chris Johnson was limited in practice on Thursday with an ankle injury. He did not practice at all on Wednesday. But the NFL's rushing leader said the injury wouldn't get in the way of his quest for Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards. Johnson has 1,509 yards after 12 games. "My ankle is fine,'' Johnson said. "I'm good.'' Coach Jeff Fisher said Johnson has been given rest this week. "His ankle is a little sore, but he's fine,'' Fisher said."

Mawae is in the final year of a four-year deal with the Titans. "I am playing well this season. I am having a solid season, so I have no reason to want to retire,'' Mawae said Wednesday. "I still play with a passion and am still playing very good football. So I haven't given any thought to retiring at all. I understand the team has some decisions to make but hopefully what I have done here as a leader and on the field the last four years says something.''

"With the season heading toward the final stretch, some Tennessee Titans veteran players are wondering exactly what their futures might be. The subject especially involves veterans like Keith Bulluck, Kevin Mawae and Kyle Vanden Bosch — all of whom are past 30 and in the final year of their contracts. So could this season's final four games be their final ones in a Titans uniform? "I don't know if I'm sitting here hoping for anything. I feel like I've put my best foot forward for this organization for 10 years," said linebacker Keith Bulluck, who is scheduled to start his 134th straight game on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. Thus far, the Titans have had no conversations with Bulluck's ..."

Nick Harper plans to ease into action

"Cornerback Nick Harper doesn't want to be too energized at Houston on Monday night, when he's expected to return to the starting lineup from a broken forearm. "I tend to burn out if I get too hyped," Harper said Saturday after practice. So what's the plan? "I got to go back to my old ways," he said. "Listen to some slow music before the game. And then, pick it up during the game." Harper also plans to wear a protective brace over his forearm, which had a plate inserted to help the healing. He has experienced a variety of injuries in his nine-year career, but this was his first broken forearm. "It's a mental thing," said Harper, who considers himself a physical corner. "If you can get past ..."
Nick Harper will rejoin Titans as starter

Tennessean
 
"When Titans cornerback Nick Harper returns from his broken forearm - either Monday night against the Texans or next week against the Cardinals - he will regain his place in the starting lineup. Coach Jeff Fisher made the announcement after Thursday's practice, and it was endorsed by Rod Hood, whose performance as Harper's replacement has helped the Titans (3-6) forge a three-game winning streak. Hood was out of football, searching for a team, when the Titans signed him in October. Since then he has three starts and three interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown during Sunday's 41-17 win over the Bills."

"Kerry Collins has a hunch about why it happened. He doesn't like it, but that doesn't matter. Vince Young doesn't care about the reason. He's just happy he has his old job back, and a second chance. The Titans pulled a U-turn at quarterback on Thursday — Collins is out and Young is in beginning with Sunday's game against the Jaguars at LP Field. Coach Jeff Fisher said the move is long-term. As the Titans try and make something out of a 0-6 start, Young will be at the controls, fulfilling the wish — and ultimately the command — of owner Bud Adams. So Young, the third overall pick of the 2006 draft, will once again be on full display come Sunday. "I'm still in Kerry Collins' corner because I ..."

But … we have to be prepared for either quarterback.’’ So will it be Kerry Collins or Vince Young? Coach Jeff Fisher said he plans to announce the starter on Thursday.

Reports and speculation have cited owner Bud Adams as pushing for a switch from Collins to Young as soon as this week as the 0-6 Titans return from a bye week. "I haven't gotten any indication from him of a change," Collins said last week when asked if there had been any inklings of a potential quarterback change from Coach Jeff Fisher.

Finnegan and Fuller last played Sept. 27 against the Jets. "They would bring the experience back, the anticipation, the experience and the communication things," Fisher said.

"The Titans are scheduled to have contract talks with two-time Pro Bowl DE Kyle Vanden Bosch this weekend, according to a league source. The team, which has a bye this week, has held an ongoing dialogue with Vanden Bosch, an elite pass rusher who's eligible for unrestricted free agency after this season. The Titans are off to an 0-6 start, but they have yet to indicate that they are in rebuilding mode, and they weren't sellers at Tuesday's trade deadline. However, they have previously allowed talented defensive linemen to leave in free agency — Albert Haynesworth most recently — and used the draft and expert defensive line coach Jim Washburn to cultivate reinforcements."

This week several former Titans weighed in, and most agreed now's not the time to bench Collins. But it might be coming soon, they said, and some think adding a package for Young is a good idea. "You are going to have to look at Vince at some point,'' former Titans running back Eddie George said. "If Kerry is struggling and can't get the offense going, you have to generate something.

The Jaguars said they expect to sell slightly more than the 46,250 tickets they sold for the home opener against Arizona, but they're still thousands short of a sellout. If all the non-premium tickets aren't sold 72 hours before kickoff, the games are blacked out. Teams can ask for an extension if they have a reasonable chance of selling the rest of the tickets. Owner Wayne Weaver said at the start of the season that the Jaguars would be blacking out all of their home games this year because of low ticket sales."
Desperate Titans danger for Jets

New York Post
 columnist Justin Terranova
"Last year when the two teams met in late November, the Jets handed the Titans their first loss of the season — with a 34-13 beat down. This week Tennessee will be looking to avoid its' third loss of the season and we haven't even reached October yet. Such is life in the NFL where eight months of anticipation and build up can be destroyed by the third game of the season. If the Titans don't leave Giants Stadium with a win on Sunday they would drop to 0-3 and become a statistical longshot to make the playoffs — 1.8-percent of the teams to start the year 0-3 have qualified for the postseason. It may not be a must-win in the true sense, but the Titans better treat it like one. "We can't let ..."

The Titans aren't interested, despite the attempts by some folks in the media to keep the idea alive. Coach Jeff Fisher has said on numerous occasions the team hasn't called – and isn't interested – in Harrison. While there's always the possibility someone else in the organization at some point took a call about the free agent without Fisher knowing, from what I've been told I don't even believe that's the case."

"It has been well documented that the day of reckoning on Vince Young's future with the Tennessee Titans is scheduled for 2010.

Young also has a base salary of $8.5 million scheduled for 2011. But Young's agent, Major Adams, told The City Paper that he and Young might be willing to lower that cap number in an effort to remain on the team, if something agreeable can be worked out.
