The Facts:
The Titans intend to try to trade Young rather than release him, according to league sources.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Young is due a $4.25 million roster bonus 10 days after the start of the league year, whenever there's a new collective bargaining agreement. It originally had been thought that Young was due the bonus on March 10. Thus, from the moment the new CBA is signed, Tennessee will have a 10-day window in which to trade Young and his contract that calls for $8.5 million in base salary during the 2011 season. Another team would have to be willing to take on Young's contract -- or be willing to restructure it. The Titans can release Young starting Feb. 7 but they do not have plans to do that now. ... We'll go ahead and suggest the obvious: It's hard to imagine getting full value in a trade when teams know the Titans eventually plan to release him.
