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.

Cowboys won over Titans by 30-10 on Friday preseason game
The Dallas Cowboys fans were completely satisfied with what they saw at the nearly $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium on Friday night. The new stadium was dazzling, the player in No. 9 dallas cowboys jersey went 18 of 24 for 192 yards, and the team won over the Tennessee Titans.
The stadium opened two hours before the game started, and fans finally could say how humongous the overhead video boards are and some went to find the best standing-room spots. Even the players also felt happy for finally getting to play in this place they’ve heard so much about for so long, and that was maybe why they played up to the mood for most of the time.
In the first half, it was the Titans’ advantage. The team went three and out on its first three drives. Kerry Collins threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Justin Gage and put the Titans up 10-7 when there was only 59 seconds left in the first half. However, the Titans did not gain score again then on and the Cowboys gave a much more steady performance. After gaining 249 yards and 17 first downs in the first half, Dallas backup quarterback Jon Kitna threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to undrafted rookie Kevin Ogletree and third-stringer Stephen McGee threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Rodney Hannah in the second half.

Titans QB Young is near to failure or success
QB Vince Young was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2006 draft and selected by the Titans. He was then compared Steve McNair — his talents in football would bring wins to the Titans.
But in 2008 season, Titans' win did not come from Young but from Kerry Collins. This made the originally promising QB rather frustrated. He recently told WMAR-TV in Baltimore that he might change career if the team does not think him valuable.
He was wrong. It is not time to be show self-pity. His talent was already proved, what he needs to do from now on is to work hard on proper fundamentals. He has fast legs, and he is in lack of polished play-making passing skills. It is important time now. If he makes the right decision, he will be approaching success.
