    Exclamation Volek Decison to come in following few days.

    [URL=http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com/index.cfm?section=7&screen=news&news_id=31597]Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher has had nothing but bad things to say about free agent quarterback Billy Volek this week.

    That’s because Fisher, who is in Florida for the NFL competition committee meetings this week, has been spending lots of time in the same room with his committee co-chairman Rich McKay of the Atlanta Falcons, who just happens to be one of Volek’s most serious pursuers outside of the Titans.

    “Coach Fisher has been calling me a lot lately and staying in touch,” Volek said. “He said he’s been telling Mr. McKay that I’m still injured and that my spleen is still bothering me. Jeff has really been neat about this, about staying in touch.”

    Volek, who has now healed from his season-ending December spleen laceration, and agent Ken Staninger faxed another proposal to the Titans Wednesday on the heels of receiving an offer from the Buffalo Bills late Tuesday night, further complicating the decision for the free-agent quarterback.

    I'm not going to lose ne sleep if we don't grab him, but he still wud be a pretty good sign. Also, it's a good sign that he isn't in it just for the money.
    Wudn't it be ironic, when he went to Montana, to run into a certain "Drew" wen shopping down Aisle 7 at Harvey's Grocery?

    Volek's agent, Ken Staninger, said that his client would like to have his final decision made within the next few days.

    I want him..... I think if he doesn't get signed TD Will lean towards drafting a QB in the first round.

    We could still get a descent one in the later rounds like Jeff Smoker, Cody Pickett, John Navarre, Josh Harris.
    You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.

    Yeah well we ain't gonna get him. Get over it. SD is looking hard on him right now. He could go even before Manning, Big Ben for sure.

    Would you take Big Ben if he slides down to us?

    If you don't want a career backup, then why do you want Rivers?

    Wyche: Billy, we can't pay you as much as the Flacons but I think you should come because Drew is up for a huge contract in November and chances are we'll let him go because of it and you can start.

    Billy: Okay where do I sign?


    Next day just after Volek signs TD gets Drew to restructure for way less. Sucker!!!!
