Every Friday, theScore's NFL editors will bring you a roundup of everything you need to know from around the division with the AFC South Notebook.
Houston Texans
Quessenberry announces cancer in remission. The former sixth-round pick shared the good news on Twitter. He still has no timetable for a possible return to football.
Texans looking at managing cap by shedding contracts. With players like Andre Johnson having high cap numbers, the Texans will look at restructuring and shedding contracts in order to save money in 2015.
Ryan Mallett would like to remain in Houston. The talented free-agent quarterback wants a chance to finish what he started in 2014 before getting injured. He will draw some interest from around the league.
Indianapolis Colts
Matt Hasselbeck is returning for another season. The veteran quarterback announced Thursday that he will return as Andrew Luck's backup. Hasselbeck is 39 years old.
Ricky Jean Francois signs with Redskins. After the Colts decided to cut the defensive end in a salary-saving measure, the Redskins scooped him up. Jean Francois spent two seasons with the Colts.
Colts looking for two starting safeties. With the release of LaRon Landry and Mike Adams set to become a free agent, the Colts may have to address the safety position in the draft. Landon Collins will probably be off the board, but there are several less-heralded options.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Veteran corner Will Blackmon released by Jags. The move will save the team almost a million dollars in cap space. Blackmon's release leaves the door open for fourth-round draft pick Aaron Colvin.
Fowler or Gregory. Who should the Jags take? With the third pick in the draft, the Jags have a ton of options, but a pass-rusher seems like their best bet. Should it be Dante Fowler or Randy Gregory?
Jaguars cap situation explained. With $60 million in cap space, the Jags are in a flexible spot to improve through free agency or the draft. They must also adhere to the 89 percent rule, which means they need to spend a lot of money.
Tennessee Titans
Michael Roos decides to retire after 10 seasons. Drafted by the Titans in the second round of the 2005 draft, Roos enjoyed a solid career at left tackle, missing just one game in his first nine seasons.
Draft analyst Cosell "not blown away" by Leonard Williams. The consensus pick for the Titans at second overall, Williams is a physical specimen. But Greg Cosell doesn't feel the Titans should take Williams and instead need to look at an edge-rusher.
Will Dick LeBeau bring some Steelers with him to Tennessee? The legendary defensive coordinator may be able to upgrade the Titans' roster simply by bringing some Steelers to his new club.
