That's ludicrous.

They have no plan to keep him at the current wage.

If he gets hurt, they HAVE to keep him at the current wage - it's a CBA thing.

Therefore, you remove the possibility of him having a football-related injury. If he has a non-football injury, the rules are different.

Guess he'll be getting released very soon now.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans told Steve McNair they don't want him working out in their building until his contract is reworked, the quarterback's agent said Tuesday.

McNair was told to go home Monday when he showed up at the team's headquarters for the start of the third week in the Titans' offseason conditioning program. The team's general counsel had called agent Bus Cook earlier Monday and informed him McNair would be told to leave.
A team trainer told the 11-year veteran to leave, Cook said.
"You tell the guy who's the mainstay of the organization, the leader, to get out, that he's not wanted, that's pretty rough," Cook said. "I don't know what Steve will do or won't do. I imagine he would have a hard time going back over there."
McNair, the NFL's 2003 co-MVP, is due $9 million in salary in 2006 - but his salary cap number is $23.46 million. Cook said the quarterback was told the Titans were worried about a potential injury, but said the general counsel told the agent they don't want McNair working out on team property until his contract is reworked.
The Titans did not immediately comment Tuesday. General manager Floyd Reese and coach Jeff Fisher were in Los Angeles following a private workout of Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart.
McNair is the franchise's winningest quarterback with a record of 81-59. He started 15 games in 2005 and threw for 3,161 yards.
McNair, who turned 33 in February, is one of only five NFL players to throw for 25,000 yards and run for 3,000, along with John Elway, Fran Tarkenton, Steve Young and Randall Cunningham. He has 27,141 yards passing. The Titans hold the No. 3 pick overall in the draft, the same spot at which they took McNair in 1995. They have been studying top quarterback prospects Leinart, Vince Young of Texas and Jay Cutler of Vanderbilt in recent weeks.

So management called the Agent... and McNair showed up anyway? And therefore got kicked out.

That's.. some good communication skills going on.

If I were McNair, I'd think about a new agent.


*Thinks immediately of Drew Rosenhaus*

Er... maybe not.

If he's under contract, wouldn't asking him to leave the facilities violate the new CBA?

Not if it's a voluntary workout program.

I think that, at this point in the season, it HAS to be.

[AlistDakisa]

To me that sends a message from the team that they really don't want him anymore. If I was a team that wanted one of my star players back for another season and to rework a contract, I'd let them use any facilities he wanted to with some discression. Weight room and training facilities should be at the top of that list.

Either way, McNair has been a class act for the Oilers/Titans for awhile. Miscommunication or not, it was all handled poorly in my opinion.

That's just my opinion. Whether or not it's correct given the current legislation by the organizations governing body is a whole other story.

[ZenDers]

it was a foul move, but slightly understandable. he takes up about 1/4 of their cap space. he's probably been injured more than any other player in the league.

[Overlord]

then its obvious that opinions can be wrong.

Opinions are niether right or wrong, that's why they are called opinions. If I was making an objective statement (which I was not by labeling it an opinion) one could easily call my error. Opinions are subjective in nature and can be based on fact or fiction, but are only a representation of the way a particular person or group may feel about a topic.

Dom's response of my opinion being ludocris is his opinion, also neither right or wrong and I respect his opinion of my opinion.

It's my opinion that your opinion on opinions being neither right nor wrong is incorrect.

I'm sorry, but if you were right, I would agree with you.

Or maybe completely unpredictable?
