What would it take to get Billy Volek?

I have always thought people put to much weight on mcnair saying he considered retiring. at the time he could hardly breathe. i think mcnair will have alot of fun with norm chow while volek will practice hold the clipbaord and handing off to travis henry and chris brown to run down the clock.

Agreed. For those who say McNair is on his last legs, you might want to take a lesson from Brett Favre. He too looked like he was on his way out after last season, but became rejuvenated after recovering from various ailments.

Now both QBs are making noises like they may want to continue on a year-to-year basis for 2 or 3 more seasons. Clearly the Titans are rebuilding after a salary cap purge; and they are installing a new offense to boot. Why would a QB on his last legs want to come back for just one year of that?

This is interesting, from the FOX Sports NFL Preview. It was in the Fantasy News:

"Drew Rosenhaus was in Tennessee Monday, pushing for a trade for Billy Volek. The Titans won't give Volek the opportunity to seek a trade this season, especially considering Gino Guidugli is the number three. But Volek has made it clear: if Steve McNair plays after this season, Volek wants out next winter. (Tue. Aug 16, 2005)"

Sounds like Volek already wants a chance to start. At this point in his career, so would I.
