McNair asked to leave TN facility???

They were talking on Sirius Opening Drive this morning that Steve was gone. It was only a matter of time. I didn't want to believe it, but I am starting to think it's inevitable. Steve and Bus seem very firm in their stance about Mac's value. And everyone else seems to think his cap figure is outrageous. Well, I think this shows that Bud feels the same. When your cap hit is so much that they WON"T let you practice. Your cap hit is too high. Steve's jersey has been a Sunday tradition for me, my wife, and my son for 8 seasons. Now, I think the transition time has come. My only hope is our new QB will provide as much enjoyment as #9 has for the last decade. #9, YOU WILL BE MISSED!:sad2:

 

Well I guess it could be goodbye Steve, Hello Ty...and Lienart/Vince/Cutler.

 

Either way, Steve is going to be gone by the time this team is going to be competitive again. So maybe they think it's better to be now rather than later, and perhaps get some draft pick as compensation, get their rookie QB more work this year, and save $10M in cap money.

I've always been a huge McNair fan, and I think he can still play, but maybe it would be better for the Titans in the long run. And personally, I'm a Titans fan more than I'm a fan of any individual player.

 

We have to wait for Steve's quotes, everything comes from his greedy agent!! I think all of this is just Bus Cook's crap..Let's wait for Steve to explain how does he feel about the incident.

 

this is :banned::banned::banned::banned:ed up.

 

:hmm: I dont understand why they would not let him in the facility...thats just crazy...I can understand trying to get the contract right but kicking out steve is just crazy

 

I agree. I do think, however, that they should have talked to him and let him know beforehand about the situation with the training facility.

 

Apparently, because if he gets injured, they'll have to pay him the $9 million he's scheduled to make this season. Makes sense, but like I said, they could have tried a different approach.

 

No matter what the reason is, whether it be "Off-season injury" or whatever, it shouldn't have been handled that way, to embarrass and insult a player who for 11 years has taken pay-cuts to keep other players, who has taken injury after injury trying to get the extra yard to win the game, Who doesn't bring the attitude of TO and others... He's given alot to this team and the town.. and like I saw in an earlier post, it's interesting that it goes down when Fisher is in Ca. It's chicken ****...

 

McNair has never taken a paycut. Merely had his money restructured.
