Titans agree to terms with QB Collins
NASHVILLE, TN, March 4, 2007 — The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent QB Kerry Collins. “Kerry is a great fit for this team,” said Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt. “A veteran quarterback that understands his role and that can be a sounding board for a young quarterback is a special commodity and one of great value for both Vince (Young) and this team. Maybe more importantly, we also trust that if he is called upon to win games, he certainly can do that.” “I’m excited to come back to a team that I think can be really, really good,” said Collins. “I am looking forward to playing for Jeff (Fisher) and Norm (Chow) again. My family and I think Nashville is a great city and really enjoyed our year there last year.” A 12-year NFL veteran, Collins started three games for the Titans last season before handing over the reigns to rookie Vince Young. In his limited action, he threw for 549 yards and one touchdown. Over his career, Collins has started 148 games and thrown for 34,188 yards and 174 touchdowns. He ranks fifth in career passing yards among active NFL quarterbacks. The fifth overall pick in the 1995 Draft by the Carolina Panthers, he has played with five NFL teams, including the Panthers (1995-98), New Orleans (1998), New York Giants (1999-03), Oakland (2004-05) and Tennessee (2006). He led the Panthers to the NFC Championship Game in 1996 and the Giants to Super Bowl XXXV in 2000. Most Popular |
