Titans are unlikely to re-sign DE Kearse

According to the Tennessee Titans Coach Jeff Fisher, the team has not had any discussion with free-agent defensive end Jevon Kearse about his new contract. And it has been rumored the 11-year veteran would end his NFL career before turning 34 in September.

"He did a great job for us over the years," Fisher told The Tennessean. "He came in and was prepared to play and ready to play and played hard. But in his case, similar to (center) Kevin (Mawae’s), we’re going to commit to the younger players."

Kearse was inactive on game days for much of the 2009 season although he was actually healthy. The first-round and 16th overall pick of the 1999 draft has been wearing Titans jersey for his first five and last two seasons, with the 2004-2008 stretch being spent with the Philadelphia Eagles.
