As expected, the Tennessee Titans released quarterback Vince Young after five disappointing seasons with the team. The move also comes eight months after owner Bud Adams said the team would either trade or release the former #3 overall pick.
Young is 30-18 in five seasons, including a playoff loss, but just 13-14 against teams finishing a season at .500 or better. He’s battled questions over his work ethic, leadership and injuries.
Young’s time in Tennessee also ended on a sour note. On November 21st, Young suffered a season ending thumb injury on his throwing hand. This is the same day that he left the field, tossed his shoulder pads into the stands and then told off then head coach Jeff Fisher in front of the rest of the team before storming out.
Young was one of six players released by the Titans on the first day that teams were allowed to release players after the 4 1/2 month NFL lockout. Tennessee also released defensive tackle Tony Brown, running back Dominique Lindsay, defensive end Marcus Howard, defensive end Kareem Brown and offensive lineman Jeff Hansen.
