Fisher Shoots Down Harrison Rumors

It hasn't been a great week for ESPN's NFL crew. On Monday, they were beaten by Fox's Jay Glazer on the news that Brett Favre was going to come out of retirement again. Later that day, ESPN's Mark Schlereth quoted Raiders head coach Tom Cable as saying Nancy Gay's FanHouse report that Cable had punched assistant coach Randy Hanson and broken his jaw was "absolutely ridiculous." By the next day, even the Raiders' internal spin was that Cable broke Hanson's jaw by knocking him out of a chair rather than punching him.

Now Titans coach Jeff Fisher is completely denying an Adam Schefter report that the team was talking to former Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison about a possible job. Fisher didn't hedge in shooting down that report:

"We've not contacted Marvin. We've had no contact whatsoever with Marvin or his agent and to be quite honest with you I don't know where Adam Schefter got that information," he said.

Beyond Fisher's denials, signing Harrison doesn't seem to make any sense for the Titans at this point. Last year, Tennessee came into the season with one starting-caliber receiver in Justin Gage. This year, the Titans have Gage, free agent acquisition Nate Washington and rookie first-rounder Kenny Britt, who had an excellent pro debut last weekend. Behind them, Lavelle Hawkins, Chris Davis and Paul Williams are battling for two jobs, but more than that rookie tight end Jared Cook looks like he could help as a wide receiver in certain situations.

So Tennessee's not really in the market for an old wide receiver with knee problems.
