The Titans released wide receiver Mike Williams before Thursday afternoon?s practice, according to an Associated Press report. The Titans signed Williams, the 10th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft by the Lions, last Thanksgiving and told him after the season to get his weight and conditioning under control.

The Titans and Albert Haynesworth have agreed to a reworked tender that will result in the All-Pro defensive tackle reporting to training camp. After weeks of negotiations, Haynesworth will sign his one-year tender as the team?s franchise player. As part of the deal he could become an unrestricted free agent next season, if he reaches certain incentives in the contract.

The Titans and defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth failed to meet the NFL's mandated franchise deadline, meaning that he'll make $7.25 million next season, according to The Associated Press. He was looking for a long-term deal with guaranteed money. Both sides can keep talking, but no long-term contract can be signed until after the Titans finish the season. "We offered several fair and balanced proposals to the Titans over the past few days that would have paid Albert like one of the top defensive tackles in football -- all of which were rejected," agent Chad Speck said. "We moved considerably off those proposals as the deadline approached today in an effort to close the deal; these movements were also rejected by the Titans. While we certainly respect the Titans' position, it is unfortunate that Albert will not be signed long term when training camp opens next week."

The Titans have switched their primary jersey to light blue after wearing navy since 1999, according to The Tennessean. They will wear light blue during all of their home games except for their preseason home opener against the Rams in early August.

Defensive end Jevon Kearse said Wednesday that he believes the Eagles will miss his presence this season, according to The Philadelphia Daily News. He was released by the Eagles in February and re-signed with his former team the Tennessee Titans. "They'll say, 'Why the hell did we let that dude go?' " Kearse said. " 'What were they thinking?' "

Titans' wide receiver Mike Williams lost thirty pounds this offseason, according to a report on NFL.com. Tennessee is hoping that the weight loss is a sign of just how serious Williams has gotten regarding his football career. In the offseason, Williams has boxed and played basketball and even experimented with pilates. He has altered his diet and worked out hard, as well.
