Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
It may end up being nothing, but Titans coach Jeff Fisher may have put his foot in his mouth when he explained how the Titans re-signed Chris Simms on Monday.As Fisher explained, Simms always knew that he would be re-signed on Monday. It was just a formality to waive him on Saturday (with him still being paid for the week), sign a backup punter and then reverse the move on Monday.
"We're keeping Chris around because he's important to us, not only for the immediate future but for the future," Coach Jeff Fisher said. "Chris totally understood the move, and we assured him we'd get him back under contract and we did."The fact that the Titans had worked out a deal with Simms is no surprise--teams do things like it all the time. But by actually talking about it, Fisher has crossed a line. Dancing around the line of roster manipulation is one thing, but you don't admit it.
As a league source told Pro Football Talk:
"I'm not sure the league office is going to look very favorably upon that transaction and quote. It sure looks and sounds like a pre-existing agreement to manipulate the roster."What may help Fisher out is that this is a very common deal, but we'll have to see if the NFL sends a fine the Titans way.
