VOLEK UPDATE: Billy Volek might want to pay close attention to the plays he has been running on scout team for the Chargers this week.

Sources confirm the Chargers still have interest in obtaining Volek and have inquired about him in a trade. However, the Titans currently are unwilling to part with him. The Kansas City Chiefs have also inquired about Volek. Their starter, Trent Green, is out after a concussion Sunday that landed him in the hospital for two days.

Negotiations could heat up in the next couple of days, though the Titans might wait until after Sunday’s game to pull the trigger on any sort of deal with San Diego.

The Chargers could use a backup to Philip Rivers. They are currently carrying only two quarterbacks with rookie Charlie Whitehurst at No. 2. San Diego also has only 52 players on its roster at present.

Efforts to reach Titans general manager Floyd Reese were unsuccessful Wednesday.

That and I think they had a rookie backing up Rivers too.

Actually, acquiring a QB after the 2nd week of the season says they aren't prepared. They're taking steps to rectify that, but being reactive at this point is the antithesis of "prepared".

As for the Chiefs, they were FULLY prepared for Green getting injured. Were they properly prepared? Hindsight says no. But that doesn't mean that they didn't have a plan in place.

It would have happened sooner but the Titans didn't want him to fork over his knoledge on their three page playbook. I think everyone has it anyways at least thats how it seems from watching their games.
