The Titans owner? That's very interesting and ties into another fairly substantial rumor I'd heard

Is it involving Hasselbeck? Or Locker?

Maybe we could get Hasselbeck to back up Griffin.

Nice idea. A quality veteran backing up a young quarterback is what we want. But because of Grossman's familiarity with K. Shanahan's offense, I think he will be re-signed. But I would think Matt Hasselback is still under contract with the Titans. But with the Titans having Jake Locker, they would have him playing every down at QB since he was their 1st round pick a year ago. But if the Titans traded Hassleback to Washington, what would the Redskins be willing to give up? Maybe a veteran/role player?

I was thinking of it this way:
1) Titans sign Manning
2) Titans keep Locker

ergo
3) Titans cut Hasselbeck and we can sign him without a trade

Hasselbeck. Rumor has been Bud's not the biggest fan and he might be a surprise cut. But it wasn't supposed to happen until later in the year after Locker got some more practice in

Thats odd. Few guys in the NFL are as nice as Hasselbeck and few guys would be willing to take a rookie under their wing like Locker has with Hasselbeck. All the talk and hypotheticals of veterans teaching rookies at QB, Hasselbeck is one of the few good QB's thats actually willing to do that.

Yeah who knows why. I don't know Matt Hasselbeck but from all I've heard he's a great and humble guy. He's what you'd think his brother would be considering Tim's talent level.

he ditched his best friend for many years after learning he was gay. i don't see that as a great quality. in his defense, he has tried to patch things up since.
