The Facts: The Titans agreed to terms on one-year contracts with a pair of unrestricted free agents, Walter and center/guard Chris Spencer. “Both Kevin and Chris are established veterans in this league who have a great deal of starting experience,” said GM Ruston Webster. “They have made significant contributions on good teams during their careers. We feel like they can come in and provide increased competition at their respective positions for us.”
Diehards Line:Walter (6-3, 217) has 152 games of NFL experience and 93 starts during his 10-year career. His career totals include 356 receptions for 4,379 yards and 25 touchdowns. He spent the last seven seasons with the Houston Texans (2006-12) after playing three years in Cincinnati (2003-05). The owner of four 50-reception seasons and three 100-yard receiving games during his career, his best season was in 2008, when he tallied 60 receptions for 899 yards and eight scores. Last season, he recorded 41 grabs for 518 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games. ... The team looked at a handful of candidates -- including Chaz Shilens and Brandon Stokley -- before landing Walter. Look for the veteran to provide depth unless Nate Washington is moved in the wake of reports that he lost favor with the team after he gave half-hearted effort over the last month of the season. If Washington goes, Walter could work the slot.
