Report: Tennessee Titans to Try to Trade Vince Young Instead of Release Him

The Tennessee Titans are going to do what they can to trade quarterback Vince Young.
The question is, “Can they do it?”
Young, who the Titans announced earlier this month will not return next season, is due a .25 million roster bonus 10 days after the start of the new league year, a clock that will begin ticking when a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is signed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported.
It previously had been thought that Young was due the bonus March 10, which led many to believe the Titans had to deal or cut Young by that date.
Because the bonus is tied to the CBA, it gives the Titans a more flexible window to address the Young situation.
If Young is traded, his new team will assume his contract — or, as Schefter put it, be willing to restructure it. Schefter wrote that while the Titans can release Young as of February 7, they have no plans to do so now.
