Steve McNair's days numbered in Tennessee?

[Walter Cronkite]

The 11-year relationship between the Titans and their quarterback took an unexpected turn yesterday when the team informed Steve McNair it didn't want him working out at Baptist Sports Park. McNair's agent, Bus Cook, said it's a clear sign the veteran's days with the team are numbered. "A month ago they say he needs to be there to get familiar with the young guys, and now they tell him to get out? I have never seen anything like that in my life," Cook said last night. "They can sugarcoat it any way they want to, but when you throw your starting quarterback off the property, an MVP, Pro Bowl guy who led them to the Super Bowl and one of the greatest players in the history of the team … "To just to throw him out? After this, I don't think Steve would want to go back any more.'' An associate of McNair said the quarterback was disappointed and declined to discuss the matter last night. Titans Coach Jeff Fisher, also in Los Angeles, referred to the "complicated" contract situation.
