re: Rare but we should, Titans preparing to release QB Zach Mettenberger.

McCown is near the end, why not get a backup that could potentially replace Brees one day.

Brees is really fond of having an experienced backup who knows what they're seeing and can really help him on the sideline. I think that's why, even though we've seen a couple guys come through who would probably play better in a Brees-season-ended scenario, we still stick with McCown.

Plus, we have Grayson who is grooming behind both to become the future QB, and he has a much higher draft pedigree than Mett.

I like Mett but there isn't enough reason to choose him over either of our guys to roster him instead. Doubt this happens.
