Over the weekend we caught up with former Tennessee Titans Chris Brown and Justin McCareins to gather their memories of Steve McNair. Check out the coverage here and here.

The media storm will calm down soon, and when it does, how will you remember McNair?

Justin McCareins has played in the NFL longer than he ever dreamed, but the Naperville North graduate would still like to hang on for another year. The wide receiver continues to work out in Florida after a reasonably productive season with the Titans (10 starts and 30 receptions for 412 yards).

This week Tennessean writer Jim Wyatt took an interesting look at unemployed players who only need one phone call to change everything.

"It is kind of a weird feeling,'' McCareins told Wyatt. "My agent will call me here and there and say, 'We'll find out more next week, we'll find out more next week.' Now it's, 'We'll find out when the draft comes around.'

"But who knows? It could be we'll get a call tomorrow. It could be we won't get a call until August, if then. You don't know what is going to happen, but you have to be ready.''

After eight NFL seasons, McCareins said he isn't playing for money: "I just want to continue to play at a high level. And if I can't do that it's a different story. There might not be any interest at all. There hasn't been much so far, and I'm getting up there in years kind of."

Justin McCareins understands his role, which is probably why he has stuck in the NFL this long. The unrestricted free agent out of Naperville North completed a one-year deal with Tennessee and is looking for a place to play his ninth season.

His agent told The Tennessean that the Titans could be interested but might wait until after the draft to make a move, and that other teams are beginning to show interest in the 30-year-old wide receiver.

"Justin understands the big dogs are going to eat first,'' agent Cliff Brady said. "He's not looking for $5 million a year. He's not looking for T.O. money...but he wants to play.''

Within this recent notebook, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports that there's little movement between the Titans and Justin McCareins, the wide receiver out of Naperville North and Northern Illinois. Wyatt writes of the contract talks:

Meanwhile, the agent for receiver Justin McCareins said it's been quiet so far regarding his conversations with the team.

"Justin really likes it there and is comfortable there,'' agent Cliff Brady said. "He would love to stay and try and leave there with a ring.''
