The Tennessee Titans re-signed veteran defensive end Dave Ball on Friday. Terms of the deal were not released.
Ball has been with the Titans since 2008, playing in 51 games, making 203 tackles and sacking opposing quarterbacks 15.5 times while being credited with pressuring quarterbacks 43 times. Ball was a fourth-round draft pick in 2004, entering the NFL out of UCLA. He spent time with the San Diego Chargers and the New York Jets before joining the Titans.

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran defensive end Leger Douzable to bolster a position that may lose three players to free agency. The Titans announced the move on Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not released.
Douzable played the last two years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, seeing action in 31 games and making 88 tackles, one sack and nine tackles for loss. Last season he started six games. Titans General Manager Ruston Webster says Douzable can play both end and tackle, making him valuable in the team's defensive scheme.

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with defensive end Kamerion Wimbley on a multi-year deal, wasting little time after being rejected by Peyton Manning. Terms of Tuesday's deal were not announced.
General manager Ruston Webster said in a statement he liked Wimbley coming out of Florida State as a defensive end in a 4-3 defense, a role Wimbley will play for the Titans. The 6-foot-4 Wimbley has 42.5 career sacks. The 13th pick overall in 2006 had 11 sacks as a rookie in Cleveland. He had 16 sacks in 32 games as a linebacker in Oakland the past two seasons before being released last week.

The Oakland Raiders have told linebacker Kamerion Wimbley they will release him one year into a $48 million, five-year deal. Agent Joe Linta said in an email Friday that he was unable to work out a new contract with general manager Reggie McKenzie so the Raiders decided to cut Wimbley instead.
Oakland gave Wimbley the big contract last summer. He got paid $5 million in 2011 and is still guaranteed an additional $6.5 million from the Raiders. The team would have been on the hook for $4.5 million more in 2012 if Wimbley was on the roster Saturday, as well as an additional $13 million in guaranteed money for the rest of the deal. Wimbley had seven sacks, 21.5 quarterback knockdowns and 9.5 hurries last season, according to STATS LLC.

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with All-Pro guard Steve Hutchinson on a multi-year contract. Terms of the deal were not released. Titans coach Mike Munchak said in a statement he always has liked Hutchinson and respected how he plays. Munchak says he still sees Hutchinson playing at a high level in his 11th season.
Hutchinson visited with the Titans on Tuesday, and he also visited Seattle where he started his career before reaching a deal with Tennessee on Thursday. The 6-foot-5 Hutchinson is a five-time All Pro with seven Pro Bowls. He spent the past six seasons with Minnesota before being released Saturday. A first-round pick out of Michigan in 2001, Hutchinson has blocked for Shaun Alexander in Seattle and also Adrian Peterson in Minnesota.

Titans coach Mike Munchak is meeting with a potential free agent who's a hot target for Tennessee - Hutchinson, not quarterback Peyton Manning.
Munchak left the Titans' headquarters just before noon Tuesday and headed to the Nashville airport to pick up Hutchinson. Munchak returned with the veteran guard within the hour and drove past reporters without speaking. Hutchinson, who played with Minnesota last year, is a five-time first-team All-Pro and a player who could boost the offense line for the Titans. Tennessee ranked 31st in rushing last year averaging 89.9 yards per game.

The Tennessee Titans have tagged Griffin as their franchise player.
The Titans announced the move Monday a couple hours before the NFL deadline to use the tag. That means the Titans decided not to tag cornerback Cortland Finnegan before free agency begins March 13.

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with Hawkins, making him their third pending free agent kept off the market. The Titans announced Friday that Hawkins had agreed to a multi-year contract.
Hawkins is coming off his best season yet. A fourth-round pick in 2008 out of California, Hawkins played in 16 games with two starts, and he caught 47 passes for 470 yards with a touchdown. He ranked fourth in receptions and second with 17 catches on third down.

Tennessee Titans agreed to terms on a multi-year deal with offensive tackle Mike Otto on Thursday, trimming the number of their pending free agents to 16.
Tennessee drafted Otto in the seventh round out of Purdue in 2007. Otto has played 41 games in five seasons with the Titans, and he started a game at right tackle in 2011 against Tampa Bay when David Stewart was injured. Otto was set to become a free agent March 13.
