The Facts:
In a move that all but assures McNair will be back with the Titans in 2006, the team has declined to pay the prohibitive $50 million option bonus built into his contract, but paid the quarterback a $1 million non-exercise fee that boosts his compensation for the coming season to $10 million.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The maneuver means that the perennially cap-strapped Titans gained considerable relief for 2006 on McNair's contract. But it also voids the final three years of the contract and makes the 2006 season the final year on the deal. Without a subsequent extension to the contract, McNair will be eligible for unrestricted free agency next spring.
