| Matt Hasselbeck out in Tennessee
Getty ImagesAnyone wondering why the Titans were talking to former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick just got their answer.The team has released a statement announcing that they were unable to reach an agreement on a restructured contract with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and that the team will release him as a result. Hasselbeck was scheduled to make $5.5 million in 2013, a number that the team clearly felt was too much for a player who would have been a backup to Jake Locker. Hasselbeck acknowledged earlier this offseason that a pay cut might be necessary and seemed open to it, although appearances were deceiving.I want to thank Matt for his contributions to our team over the last two years,[url=http://www.ksacinc.com/cheapgucci/?]gucci outlet online[/url], Titans General Manager Ruston Webster said in the statement. He was an important part of the transition process he was a pro at every turn and he provided an example to the rest of the team. I know that we are a better team for his being here and we wish him the best.With Hasselbeck out of the picture,[url=http://www.ewwealth.com/]christian louboutin outlet[/url], the Titans will need to find a new backup for Locker. That explains why they're talking to Fitzpatrick, even if the conversations started as a way to leverage Hasselbeck into a pay cut that would have made him a viable option to remain in Tennessee. |
