Fantasy Football News - Steve McNair

Steve McNair's agent Bus Cook said Sunday that the Titans' were considering releasing McNair or possibly trading him to the Ravens.

"Steve's a Tennessee Titan. That has not changed," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said.

The Titans drafted Texas quarterback Vince Young with the No. 3 overall pick Saturday as McNair's successor. Tennessee has been looking for a way to reduce or eliminate the $23+ million salary cap number McNair is scheduled to count for in the 2006/2007 season.

The NFL Players Association filed a grievance earlier this month when the Titans barred McNair from working out on their property, fearing an injury would make them liable for his entire salary-cap number.

Tennessee won't need salary cap relief until July when it's time to start signing Young and the other nine draft picks. The last time the Titans had a pay-cut showdown with a top player was in 2004 with running back Eddie George, the franchise's all-time leading rusher. He finally asked for, and received, his release a week before training camps opened in July.

Fisher said this situation is difficult considering all McNair has meant to the franchise, leading them to their only Super Bowl appearance and two AFC championship games.

"Steve has been around long enough to understand that you have to separate the business side from everything else. Steve has confidence in his abilities. Steve is not finished playing. He's determined to prove that he can play and play at a very high level," Fisher said.
