Kerry Collins Announces Retirement

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that veteran QB Kerry Collins has announced his retirement after sixteen-years in the NFL.

ESPN AFC South blogger Paul Kuharsky takes a look at how Collins retirement will effect the Titans quarterback position.

โ€œMatt Hasselbeckโ€˜s value just went up. If the Titans donโ€™t land him, who are the possibilities? The list isnโ€™t a good one. Itโ€™s headlined by Marc BulgerTrent EdwardsMatt Leinart and Matt Moore. Locker needs a full training camp to have a chance to be effective if heโ€™s the teamโ€™s best option come its opener. None of the scenarios beyond Hasselbeck look very good, and he could have much better options.โ€

Bulgerโ€™s name has surfaced in the past few months but that speculation has died done in recent weeks. Hasselbeck still seems like a viable option for the team as they have already said that theyโ€™re looking for a veteran quarterback that can help transition to the newly drafted Jake Locker.

If the Titans are going to consider an option other than Bulger and Hasselbeck, Iโ€™d list Billy Volek as a possibility.

One interesting note about Collins. He finished his career with the 9th most passing yards in NFL history.
