The Tennessee Titans had to make some tough calls this offseason in regards to a couple of players.  In the end they are the right calls.

The first was in regards to defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.  Haynesworth was looking for to become the highest paid defensive player in the National Football League.

The Titans let Haynesworth become a free agent as they were not even close to what he was expecting.

Haynesworth went on to sign a record breaking seven year $100 million deal with the Washington Redskins.

The next decision was who to move forward with as the starting quarterback of the team.

At first glance it may look like that it is an easy decision, but that is far from the truth.

Collins is 36 years old, and at anytime he can start showing major errosion in his skills.  His counter part is Vince Young who has tremendous amount of skills, but for some reason fell apart after having a decent rookie year.

The team ultimately decided on Collins as they signed him to a two year contract for the immediate future.

The Titans did go on to reinterate that Young has a future still with the Titans.  That is very true as when quarterback Steve McNair came into the league he sat on the bench for the first several seasons.

The team was not very active in free agency, which they did not have to be, since the only major loss was Haynesworth.

Their biggest signing was wide receiver Nate Washington.  Even as the third wide receiver with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season Washington still caught 40 passes for over 600 yards receiving.

With the emergence of Jason Jones when Haynesworth was hurt near the end of last season, along with the other moves, the Titans should have no drop off at all.
