Collins is due $5.5 million this year, which seems prohibitive for a backup. Coach Jeff Fisher indicated that money is not a concern, and Collins remains his No. 2 quarterback.
“Vince [Young] is the 1, Kerry is the 2 and Chris [Simms] is the No. 3,” Fisher told the Tennessean recently.
Kerry Collins has been absent from Tennessee’s offseason conditioning program, but Fisher says Collins is slated to be at the team’s OTAs later in the month. It sounds like the team won’t ask him to take a pay cut.
The Titans are scheduled to pay Collins and Young $17.25 million combined in 2010.
