| 23rd January, 2006 - 1:57 pm |  Nashville City Paper - After having been through what Tennessee Titans general manager Floyd Reese calls ?salary cap jail? for the past few seasons, the Titans will have come through the other side when the new league year opens in March.
According to Reese, the club will have about $10 million in free agency to spend this offseason. Any new deals for quarterback Steve McNair, defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and possibly center Justin Hartwig would be a part of that budget.
?It could be a little more or a little less, depending on how things work out, but for free agency, we should have about $10 million to spend on improving the club. That includes McNair and Vanden Bosch and whoever else we pursue in free agency,? Reese said.
Reese and McNair?s agent James ?Bus? Cook have had conversations about a new contract for McNair, who is due a $50 million roster bonus in March, one the Titans cannot pay out. If the sides cannot reach an agreement on a new deal, there is a $1 million buyout clause the Titans can exercise that would prune back the contract from 2009 to 2006, but would push the quarterback?s cap number still to around $14 million.
