    Reynaldology requires all first borns, whether they be male or female, to be named 'Reynaldo'

    Second chance, we are a forgiving religion.

    We will forgive McNair and agent as long as they repent.

    The FO, for better or worse doesn't really want Mac around after this year because they don't want to carry that much CAP money at one position. They know whoever they draft will be the guy in year 2.

    That is why they have given Mac a figure they can live with which will reduce the CAP this year and not be too much of a burden in years 2 and 3. If Mac insists on getting his 20 mil over 2 years he is gone.
    The best case scenario for the organization is for Mac to reduce his salary this year and let this year be his last. One last shot at the playoffs with the FO using the CAP savings to bolster the team some more. That is why the FO is not going to be too upset if they have to go with Volek this year while the rookie waits his turn because they can use the 10 mil to fill some mmore holes for a run if not this year 2 or 3 years down the road.

    Remember when TO had the "phantom" injuries in an effort to gain leverage? Locking Steve out is an insurance policy against Cook and him making such a move.

    Bottom line is the Titans are holding the cards in this deal. TJ's scenario (earlier post) is "spot on". McNair's market value goes down each day and especially past the draft.

    That is very sound logic and I agree 100%.
