The Titans have long been interested in Hasselbeck. General Manager Mike Reinfeldt and Vice President of Player Personnel Ruston Webster both know him from their days in Seattle. Even Jake Locker has a relationship with him.

Fantasy Impact:

Chris Johnson owners should keep a close eye on Tennessee's QB situation during free agency. Hasselbeck would keep defenses honest, and that would only help CJ2K's productivity.

Kerry Collins calls it a career, retires

Quarterback Kerry Collins on Thursday announced his retirement from the NFL.

"The past several months have brought on much introspection, and I have decided that while my desire to compete on Sundays is still and always will be there, my willingness to commit to the preparation necessary to play another season has waned to a level that I feel is no longer adequate to meet the demands of the position," Collins said in a statement released by his agent, David Dunn.

Fantasy Impact:

Assuming Collins stays retired, there is one less option out their for teams like the Titans & Caorlina who would like to sign a veteran QB to pair with their rookie. We're less excited about a Titans offense led by Jake Locker than we are by a vet like Collins.

Titans OC Chris Palmer continues to say that rookie Jake Locker potentially could be the Tennessee Titans starting quarterback this season, possibly as soon as the first game.

That is not to say that Palmer is prepared to give the job right now to the eighth overall pick in April’s draft, particularly since the lockout imposed by the owners in March has prohibited Locker from taking part in a formal professional workout.

Plus, the Titans still plan to have some veteran competition for Locker.

“I think our pro personnel people and [General Manager] Mike Reinfeldt are working on bringing in a veteran quarterback,” Palmer said. “Who that guy’s going to be, it is to early to say.

If it is Locker, Palmer said he and the rest of the staff would try to make things as simple as possible for the rookie by simplifying the scheme, if necessary.

Chris Johnson thinks Locker will start week 1

Pro Bowl running back Chris Johnson said there is no doubt in his mind that rookie QB Jake Locker will be the starter from Day 1, citing his draft status as evidence. That wasn't the case with Young, who was taken third overall in 2006 and weaned into action as a rookie.

Of course, everything depends on how quickly Locker learns. When it came other successful rookie quarterbacks, we spent all offseason hearing that they wouldn't get a shot to start until they were ready. At the same time, everyone close to the action -- especially coaches and players -- knew the rookies were going to open the season under center.

Titans players said Locker has some command of the offense. He set players in the correct spots at the line of scrimmage and expressed a command of the huddle that caught players' attention. Cornerback Cortland Finnegan already coined him the "Face of The Franchise."

Fantasy Impact:

While it's a good quote from Chris Johnson, the Titans have said they have every intention of bringing in a veteran QB to start in 2011.
