Titans Sign Free-Agent DT Fisk


Stuck behind John Randle and Jerry Ball in Minnesota, free agent defensive tackle Jason Fisk today signed a three-year deal with the Tennessee Titans. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Fisk will likely move in as the Titans' starting left defensive tackle, replacing Gary Walker, who signed a five-year, $18 million deal with Jacksonville.

The Vikings were unable to retain Fisk after re-signing safety Robert Griffith, linebacker Ed McDaniel, safety Orlando Thomas and returner David Palmer to multi-year deals.

Fisk, 26, is best known for recording two sacks in the NFC championship against Atlanta. He had 25 tackles, 1 1/2 sacks, 19 quarterback pressures, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery last season.

Originally a seventh-round pick in 1995 out of Stanford, Fisk has played in 56 NFL games and amassed 107 tackles, including 5 1/2 sacks.

Since the free agency period started February 12, the Titans added defensive end Mike Jones and fullback Lorenzo Neal while retaining linebacker Eddie Robinson.
