Tennessee Titans News 06.26.08

Jim Wyatt has a good article on the Titans' new running backs coach Ernest Byner.  I heard Byner on the radio yesterday, and he is going to be a great asset to this coaching staff.  He had no problem talking about "The Fumble" saying that going through that experience had helped him become who he is today.

 

Jeff Fisher isn't so sure about Albert Haynesworth's six pack:

"It's in a cooler in the back of his car,'' Fisher said.

 

John Glennon, the beat-writer for the Nashville Predators, thinks the Titans should open the wallet for Haynesworth.  He makes some pretty good points.

 

Terry McCormick has a good article about Jacob Ford's battle to make this roster.  He can contribute if he can keep that weight on.  He has the potential to be a very good situational rusher.

6 pack

Lets just hope that the 6 pack that Fisher said was in the colloer in the back of Albert’s car is only Deit Coke.

I'm finally of the opinion that they should go ahead and pay Albert a top 5 DT contract

with 2 stipulations:

• front-load it so that he’s more expensive right now (we have the extra cap room), not later on when his play drops off but nobody want him to be cut.

• make it no longer than 5 years if at all possible

I wonder

What kind of work goes in to typing up a contract? Like I wonder what it is that players are actually signing, certain stipulations (like so players can’t ride motorcycles) and such. And who types that up? Attorneys, accountants, or some type of finance person?

I’m guessing Al’s people are pushing for a contract along the lines of what Tommie Harris got, and it arguable whether or not he deserves that kind of dough.

I think Harris' contract is a great template

mostly because it’s a 5 year commitment (a 4 year extension on the 1 year left) and is front-loaded… for so long GM’s got obsessed with back-loading contracts to save money in the short-term that when players’ contacts got to the last few years they were owed exorbitant salaries, even though their skills had declined (McNair had a $50 mil bonus due the year we cut him). Stopping this dumb stuff and paying guys more when they’re earning it, and when teams have the available cap space, just makes sense and makes popular vets more affordable to keep.
