Collins staying with Tennessee

In what surely must be a boost for Kurt Warner and old quarterbacks everywhere, Kerry Collins signed a two-year, $15 million deal to stay with the Titans.

Collins stepped in nicely for Vince Young last season, but I don’t think this is the best move for Tennessee. Forget about if you think Collins is being overpaid and focus upon this: The Titans need to develop Young. Unless Young is more fragile than we’ve been led to believe, he is their quarterback of the future. Collins is a good backup option, but not for $15 million. And why couldn’t the Titans take about $5 million of Collins deal and offer it to the Washington-bound Albert Haynesworth?

I’m beginning to wonder if Tennessee’s fantastic season in 2008 was a sever aberration. I think 10-6 is looming in 2009.
