Would you ride out the $23 mil for '06?

I'd go to Disney World!

then...
I'd cut McNair and pay down the cap for future years.
That is what Starkiller said the best move for the 10 million is.

Starkiller also would get McNair to sign...
but that is where he and I differ.

 

Release him, need the money to sign the rookies.

 

How bout we trade him anyone think of that?

 

Why should another team trade for him when there is a good possiblity he may be released?

 

What? Release Steve? After all that money we spent on a shiny new breastplate? And it can't be returned after 14 days.

Seriously, what I wanna know is can Steve play or not??? Cuz I'm gonna be ticked off if he goes somewhere else and lights it up.

 

I can live with Steve lighting it up for someone else ( I am a fan and respect what he has done for the TITANS), I wish him the best of luck, but we must move on with the numbers attached.

 

I'm as big a McNair homer as anyone, and I feel strongly that it would be in everyone's best interests for the contract situation to be worked out.

But if he's committed to these delusions that he's still an elite QB and won't budge in the negotiations, then cut him.

And have Eddie George be the guy who breaks the news to him.

 

He's already made over $50 million here and I think he could afford to play his last two seasons for $4 or $5 millon a year. Call me crazy! I can understand both sides of this deal but, really, it comes down to the fans (or at least it should)... The fans pay the bills, right? Of course, we have no say so but I've said before that I don't feel I should have to be loyal to a guy who's become filthy rich off of a fan base like TN and then decides to go somewhere else because a few million a year isn't good enough. Sorry, I've always been a McMair fan and will probably continue being one but when the Titans offer him a deal (and they will) I don't think he's going to take it. I don't have a clue as to how much money will be offered by the Titans but I'm guessing 3, 4, 5 million a year for a couple of years. Isn't that enough money??? I don't blame the Titans for cutting him when they do. Steve even said himself that they were going to have to renegotiate terms going into the 06' season so this shouldn't be a surprise. Like I've said, this will be a lot like the Eddie George deal where The Titans will make an offer and Steve will have to take it or leave it. I hate to say it but I don't think he's going to take it.

 

Based on the scenario Jeff gave we would have to cut him. With our FA signings we need the CAP space to sign our draft picks. I'm not sure we can restructure enough other contracts to keep McNair at his current contract and even if we could we shouldn't.
