He was looking for a long-term deal with guaranteed money. Both sides can keep talking, but no long-term contract can be signed until after the Titans finish the season.
"We offered several fair and balanced proposals to the Titans over the past few days that would have paid Albert like one of the top defensive tackles in football -- all of which were rejected," agent Chad Speck said.
"We moved considerably off those proposals as the deadline approached today in an effort to close the deal; these movements were also rejected by the Titans.
