The Titans have signed 27-year old cornerback Tye Hill to a 1-year deal.  Hill played in 9 games for the Falcons last season and he made 7 tackles, defensed 1 pass and he had 1 interception (he returned it 62 yards for a TD).  Hill has now played in 37 games in his NFL career and he has 112 tackles, defensed 17 passes, he forced 1 fumble and he intercepted 5 passes (1 returned for a TD).  Hill will help out the depth in the secondary and he will likely help out on special teams for the Titans in 2010.

The Titans have signed 29-year old DE Jason Babin to a 1-year, $1 million dollar offer sheet.  The Eagles will have 7 days to match his offer.  Babin played in 12 games for the Eagles last season in which he made 16 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and he had 2.5 sacks.  Babin has played in 64 games in his NFL career in which he has made 172 tackles, defensed 7 passes, he forced 2 fumbles and he has 17.5 sacks.  I don’t think the Eagles will match the offer the Titans made for Babin.

UPDATE:  The Eagles have declined to match Babin’s offer sheet making him a Tennessee Titan for 2010.

The Titans have signed 24-year old punter/kicker Ricky Schmitt.  Schmitt played in 1 game for the Niners last season in which he connected on 2 of 3 field goals and both of his extra point attempts good for 8 points.  This was likely nothing more than a depth signing for the Titans.

The Titans have signed 29-year old inside linebacker Will Witherspoon to a 3-year, $11 million dollar deal.  He played in 17 games for the Rams & Eagles last season in which he made 91 tackles, defensed 5 passes, had 1 sack, forced 1 fumble and he intercepted 1 pass (he returned it for a TD).  Witherspoon has now played in 127 games in his NFL career in which he has made 743 tackles, defensed 58 passes, he has 20 sacks, 8 forced fumbles and he has intercepted 9 passes (2 returned for a TD).  This was a good signing for the Titans as Witherspoon is a tough guy.
