Titans GM cools talk of pursing Manning
Titans general manager Ruston Webster can't speculate on quarterback Peyton Manning's future because Manning is still under contract with the Indianapolis Colts.This article was written by John Glennon and appeared in USA Today.
But in a conference call with Titans season ticket holders today, Webster didn't sound like a man who'd be desperate to spring if Manning becomes a free agent.
He was quick to praise his current quarterbacks, veteran Matt Hasselbeck and 2011 first-round pick Jake Locker.
"Obviously (Manning) is a great player in the league," Webster said. "But on the flip side of that, we're excited about our quarterback situation.
"I think Matt brought us through a difficult time, especially once we lost Kenny Britt last year, and I think everyone saw glimpses of Jake Locker. We're really excited about his future, so you know, obviously Peyton is a great player, but we also feel like we're in good hands."
Asked by one fan if he was "married" to the current quarterback situation, Webster again chose to praise his current crop.
"We're very happy with our quarterback situation — what the future holds with Jake and what Matt has done for us," Webster said. "With any position we're always looking to get better, so that will always be something we look at. But … we have a lot of places we need to get better. But we do like our quarterback situation and the three guys we have there."
Some Tennessee fans recently created a website encouraging a Manning return to Tennessee, where he played collegiately.
