McNair Ruling Will Come By June 1st
16th May, 2006 - 11:50 pm
USAToday - Arbitrator John Feerick hoped to return a decision by June 1 on the Steve McNair case. The union argued that McNair should be allowed to work out or be released.

“Every player has a right, we believe, to be on club property to participate with his teammates. That's the only place where a player is protected in terms of if he's hurt and gets his salary,” Berthelsen said.

“For a team to say, 'You can't be on our property because we don't want to have that risk,' then the risk is unfairly shifted to the player.”

The Titans want protection from the potential liability of a $23.46 million salary cap hit if McNair is hurt, or they want a new, cheaper contract to reduce that cap number. [READ]
