NFL news: Matt Hasselbeck to Titans
There are so many NFL transactions to report that we could fill this entire column just with player moves, so let’s start with the biggest deals of the day: the ones involving quarterbacks.
The Tennessee Titans have agreed to a deal with veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.
The 35-year-old is on the downside of his career, which he had spent entirely with the Seattle Seahawks.
Last season, he threw for 3,001 yards, 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.
The Titans, however, were still interested in Hasselbeck’s services because they wanted an experienced starter to run the offense while first-round pick Jake Locker learned the ropes as a backup. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

The NFL lockout is over. Fans, players, bettors, fantasy football nuts….join hands.
Let’s celebrate!
After working through the night, the NFL owners and players have reportedly agreed to a new, 10-year collective bargaining agreement. Players are expected to officially ratify the agreement through a vote later today.
The union’s executive committee will advise the league’s 1,900 players to approve the deal. At this stage it’s a mere formality.
Under the new deal, training camps will open with a staggered schedule. Ten teams will start Wednesday, 10 Thursday, 10 Friday and two on Sunday.
Teams can sign 2011 draft picks and undrafted free agents Tuesday. They can also start negotiating with veteran free agents, who can be signed as of Friday.
The salary cap for 2011 will be set at $120 million. The CBA also includes a new rookie payment scale aimed at regulating the cost of signing unproven players; unrestricted free agency after four years for most players; and revenues split to 53 per cent for the owners and 47 per cent for the players.
Players take a three-per-cent cut. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
