faba Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 UPDATED 0 MINUTES AGO Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair, left, arrives with his ... NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Titans ended their stalemate with quarterback Steve McNair on Wednesday and traded the former MVP to the Baltimore Ravens pending a physical. "We have granted permission to Baltimore to give Steve McNair a physical, which we expect to take place in the next 24 hours," the team said in a statement. "Upon passing a physical, final trade terms will be agreed upon." McNair, who turned 33 in February, was the winningest quarterback in franchise history. In 11 seasons, he went 81-59 and led them to their only Super Bowl in 2000. He and Peyton Manning shared the league's MVP award in 2003. McNair won a grievance last week that allowed him to return to the team's headquarters and work out after being told he couldn't on April 3. The Titans had been trying to renegotiate a cheaper salary for McNair to lower a $23.46 million salary cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I guess this means McNair won't be playing home games at LP FIELD http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/TEN/9482463 Titans sell stadium naming rights NFL.com wire reports NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 6, 2006) -- The Tennessee Titans ' stadium, known as The Coliseum since 2002, will now be called LP Field. The 10-year, $30 million naming rights deal was announced at the stadium by Titans owner Bud Adams and Rick Frost, chief executive officer for Louisiana-Pacific Corp. "Our relationship is going to be ... a very great one," Adams said. Adelphia Business Solutions, whose name was on the stadium since it opened in 1999, filed for bankruptcy and stopped payments on its 15-year, $30 million deal. Louisiana Pacific, a building products company, relocated its headquarters to Nashville in 2004. The naming rights are part of the company's plan to promote itself and its brand as LP. The company and the Titans also said they will build a Habitat for Humanity house in Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 He would've been a major cap hit in 08 and 09 if they let his deal stay I don't blame the Titans management at all The odds he stays healthy and plays all 16 games in a season are slim to nill anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaZulia Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I still remember that graphic on Fox NFL where they showed all his injuries. I think Chad will play longer and better than McNair. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_monkey Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I think the Ravens did a good move here. A 4th round pic isn't all that much, and Boller is far from ready to lead that team (and I doubt he ever will be). McNair won't play for the full season, he never does, but he'll be an upgrade regardless. And who knows... maybe watching McNair play for a year or two will teach Boller what it takes to win in the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Nice move by the Ravens and I am sure his connection with Mason will help. I think Boller just needs to get out of there and try somewhere else. For some reason I can see Shanahan getting a hold of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver drafted Cutler so I doubt that 4H Ravens have nothing to lose with McNair- a 4th round pick is a long shot to make an impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillerPaul Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 WAY TO BREAK THE SCOOP FABA! Hey Stiller... get ready to relinquish the AFC North. The Bungles are the defending AFCN champs. Congrats to the Ravens though. They now have the 3rd best QB in the division. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
