The Titans have only one more week to strike a long-term deal with defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who carries their franchise tag.

While there is always potential for something to happen as the July 15 deadline approaches, it sure looks unlikely.

I swapped emails with Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, this morning. Speck said he hasn't spoken to the Titans since I last saw him in person, when he was with Haynesworth at a public appearance on June 24. Tennessee has never given any public indication that it's willing to www.49ersfootballprostore.com/Authentic-Vernon-Davis-Jersey give Haynesworth a big-dollar deal with major guaranteed money.

Speck has talked with the team about a scenario where Haynesworth would sign his one-year tender offer of $7.25 million in exchange for some provisions that would prevent the team from tagging him again next year.

It seems unlikely to me that the Titans, who operate with a lawyerly mentality, would give up their ability to use the tag again without some big tradeoff, and it's hard to figure exactly what would qualify.

Given that, I'd say it's a major long shot that Haynesworth signs the tender and is at camp on July 25.
