Steve McNair (QB), BAL - TRADE

June 07, 2006

News: McNair has been dealt from the Tennessee Titans to the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional fourth round draft pick in 2007.

Views: This should only provide minor ripples in any draft strategies, McNair figures to start for the Ravens who did, at least, manage to get Kyle Boller off the field with this move (one would assume).

Ironically, the real loser in this situation might be Vince Young, who could only have benefitted from any time spent around McNair in Tennessee, even if by osmosis.

Only a fourth round pick? Wow.

Wow.... Ten is gonna start the season playing Vince Young?..

I think Volek will most likely enter training camp as the #1 guy.

Volek sure deserves to be.

Volek should start the season as the Titans #1 on the depth charts, but the Titan's owner Bud Adams has publicly stated that he wants Vince Young to be starting by December 10 when the Titans play the Houston Texans in Houston (Adam's hometown).

Volek should get the starts out of the starting gate, but it appears Young will get a shot sooner rather than later.

The pick the Titans will receive is a conditional pick, so it could become a third round pick depending on the scenario after the season.

Either way, Baltimore got him basically for free.

This seems like the missing part in Baltimore's offense. With their strong D, they could be a contender in the AFC. What do you guys think?

I think Houston officially renounced Bob Adams when he moved the team.

Volek is as good of a backup in this league as there is. I'm sure he could be starting in 5-10 other franchises.

I agree, Billy Volek is just like Frank Reich and then Steve Beurlein. When you have them you have the best backup in the league. (Unfortunately, you are a whisker away from having the worst starter in the league).

HAHA. It's gonna be so weird seeing Brees in New Orleans and McNair in Baltimore.

I doubt it. I still consider them 3rd in their own division behind Pitt. and the Bungles, let alone the rest of the AFC. Don't forget, McNair loves injuries, and Jamal Lewis sucked last year. They did get Mike Anderson though. I still say 3rd in the division taking that all into account.

McNair is done. He is soiled linens. Anyhow, I am honestly shocked that they got a conditional fourth for him. I was thinking much lower. Anyhow, this ensures two things. Titans will be back within a year or two, and the Ravens will be in cap hell with McNair and Mason contracts.

Mcnair reunitghin with mason isnt going to make mcnair slump, he can only go up from where he is at.. who is behind mcnair in the ravens chart anyway?
