abreast certainly great hard left surprise titans wants
I think (Brad) just wants to get into where he is going to be. We are certainly going to keep the Titans abreast to what is going on, and we'll see what happens. It is hard to find great left tackles, so (the interest) doesn't really surprise me.
game guess hard higher hone leave nba opposed player trying value veteran
I guess it's something someone could consider. But your value is much higher if you're in the NBA as opposed to Europe. For an NBA veteran to leave the NBA, it would be hard to come back. It's one thing for a young player trying to hone his game to go to Europe.

Brad would love to finish his career with the only team he has been with, but I just don't know if it is a possibility. It is disappointing, but that's what we're dealing with right now.
brad cap free guess love market possible sensitive stay titans tough
The Titans have a tough cap situation, which we are sensitive to. If I had to guess right now I would say probably Brad will be on the market as a free agent. He?d love to stay in Tennessee, but I don?t know if it is going to be possible from a cap standpoint.

We wanted to make sure Damien would be where he could build off last year. Going back is nothing but positive.

If we can, great, and if not, there's other choices.
I don't know that there's anything to it.

Leaving Pittsburgh was very hard, but he felt it was a great opportunity. He's the kind of guy they want to build the program around.

We?re trying to see if there is a way to fix it, but my guess is he is probably going to be on the market. It is disappointing, but that?s what we?re dealing with right now.
best control good hope needs situation team
We wanted to find the best situation for him, a good team that needs frontcourt help. It's not like you hope to be waived. You can't control that.
decision free kevin start talking
Nothing is official, but I got a sense from talking to (the Jets) that Kevin will be a free agent. I think they've made the decision to retool and start over.
business great greatest jets kevin loved players playing pride sad standpoint stuff took
It's sad from the standpoint that Kevin loved being a Jet, took great pride in playing for the Jets and was one of the greatest players in Jets history. But we're in a business where this stuff happens.

It seems like everybody in the league has interest.
