Tennessee Titans 12/30/2006 10:00 AMThe Nashville Tennessean reports the Titans plan to exercise the option on HC Jeff Fisher's contract in the coming days, then continue discussions with him on a long-term deal at season's end, according to sources familiar with the situation. Fisher signed a contract extension prior to the 2003 season, at which time a team option for 2007 was added. By exercising the option, the Titans keep Fisher under contract and buy time to negotiate a long-term deal. The Titans have until Sunday to officially exercise the option. Fisher made $5 million this season.Read more
Jacksonville Jaguars 12/30/2006 9:58 AMThe Florida Times-Union reports Jaguars RB Fred Taylor said his strained hamstring should be ready for Sunday's game. He practiced again Friday, but hasn't yet run full speed to test the hamstring. "I haven't opened it up, but I feel confident about it," Taylor said. "It's feeling better this week than it felt the week leading into the Tennessee game [when he aggravated the injury]." Taylor also reiterated his stance about his desire for a new contract, and he stands by the statistics he has put up this season as leverage for a new deal. Despite sharing time in the backfield with RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Taylor has run for 1,120 yards.Read more
