NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams wants more of Vince Young(notes). He’s getting just that with his winless team switching from veteran Kerry Collins(notes) back to the 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year. Coach Jeff Fisher announced the expected move Thursday following practice for the 0-6 Titans, and Young got the news from his coach in the morning. Fisher insists it was an organizational decision resulting from the team’s winless start and that he won’t play musical chairs with the position. “We’re in a unique situation right now. We haven’t won a game. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if we were 3-3,” Fisher said. That means Young will start Sunday against Jacksonville (3-3), the team that helped send him to the bench in the 2008 opener by picking him off twice and spraining his knee. Collins started 20 of the 21 games since then. link
This is the right move. See if you have anything with Young. If you don't though, thats a problem. Anyone know what his contract is like?
He's still on his rookie deal. This is the fourth year. Next year is the final year of the contract, and then there's a team option for the 6th year. He got $25.7 million in guaranteed money.
I heard today he is owed a 4.5m bonus this offseason, so if he shits the bed here, I will guess that he will not longer be a Titan.
I'm not surprised at all by this move. They need to know whether to resign him for next year or draft a QB this year.
