Titans' defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth loves his team but says that he won't give Tennessee a hometown discount on the long-term deal he's looking for this offseason. "Not unless they give me a 100 percent guaranteed contract," the veteran defensive tackle said Thursday. "You want to try and make as much as you can because if you have a career-ending injury you are out ... and the team sure as heck is not going to pay you. It's not like baseball or basketball. You want to get as much as possible." Haynesworth is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on Feb. 27.

Titans' GM Mike Reinfeldt and the agent for Albert Haynesworth reportedly spoke last Thursday, and "paramaters have been discussed" on a contract extension for the defensive tackle. However, the discussions shouldn't be considered "serious," according to a source. The Titans have said they want to retain Haynesworth, who played under the $7.25 million franchise tag last season.

The Titans have no plans to trade Vince Young or release him despite their apparent preference to keep Kerry Collins as the starter. He is under contract for another two years.

The Buccaneers have reportedly received permission to interview Titans' quarterbacks coach Craig Johnson for their vacant offensive coordinator job. Johnson has spent nine years in Tennessee, seven as the quarterbacks coach. Tampa Bay is looking for an offensive coordinator after hiring new head coach Raheem Morris last week to replace Jon Gruden.

Titans' head coach Jeff Fisher has reportedly told Kerry Collins that he wants him to return as the team's starting quarterback in 2009. Fisher made public remarks that Collins deserved to be the starter based on his performance in 2008, but a source said his private reaffirmation thrilled Collins.

Quarterback Kerry Collins would like to return to the Titans next season and believes that he has a few good years left. Collins, however, said he would retire if the right offer doesn't come along. He will become a free agent at the end of the season. "I think I made my case known, that I'd like to be here and feel that I can be a part of several more good seasons and give them several more good years," Collins said Monday. " ... I will pack up and go somewhere else. I don't want to, but that's the reality of this business. "I really like it here, my family really likes it in Nashville, and I think that there is something special here that I'd like to be a part of. But there is a business side to it too and if it comes down to it I've got to be able to pack up and move on," he said.

Titans' head coach Jeff Fisher has called the non-call on a delay of game penalty against the Ravens on Saturday night 'unacceptable'. "I've always maintained that there's a human element in the game as far as officiating is concerned. [They're] going to make mistakes; it is part of our game," Fisher said, according to The Tennessean. "But this particular mistake was unacceptable. There is no excuse for it, it was a mistake, and it was a costly mistake. "It was not the reason we lost the game, but it was a mistake, an error."

ESPN's Chris Mortensen has reported that the NFL's Competition Committee will discuss the procedure for calling a delay of game penalty soon. The discussion could take place during the annual league meetings in March. The news comes less than 24 hours after Saturday night's failure of the officials to kill a key fourth-quarter play by the Ravens after the play clock clearly had gone to zero.

With Titans' defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz heading to Detroit for a second interview with the Lions, ProFootballTalk has been told that Schwartz?s current team is convinced that he?ll be leaving. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Titans already are lining up potential replacements for Schwartz. One candidate is Gregg Williams, who worked as the defensive coordinator in Tennessee before becoming the coach of the Bills in 2001. Williams is under consideration for the defensive coordinator positions with the Saints and the Packers.

The Ravens knocked off the top-seeded Titans on Saturday afternoon 13-10 on a late field goal by Matt Stover. Baltimore's Joe Flacco became the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to win two playoff games. Flacco went 11-for-22 with 161 yards and a touchdown, while his counterpart, Kerry Collins, went 26-for-42 with 281 yards and an interception for Tennessee. Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain combined for 44 yards on twenty-four carries in the win. Derrick Mason, Flacco's favorite target nearly from Day One, had five receptions 78 yards and a score. The Titans' Chris Johnson rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown, and LenDale White tallied 45 yards on fifteen carries in the loss. Justin Gage was the game's leading receiver, tallying ten receptions for 135 yards. Tennessee turned the ball over three times -- White and tight end Alge Crumpler lost fumbles -- while Baltimore took great care of the football. The Ravens will face the winner of the Chargers-Steelers game in the AFC Championship Game next weekend.
