The Titans on Thursday hosted return man Mark Jones, a former University of Tennessee star who played last season with the Panthers.

The team is continuing to explore its options in the event Chris Carr leaves in free agency.

Jones played at Tampa Bay and the New York Giants prior to joining the Panthers in 2008.

In his career he has just 2 catches for 32 yards -- both catches coming last season. He has been primarily a return man instead. A year ago Jones averaged 24.0 yards on 40 returns. The fifth-year pro has a career average of 24.2 yards.

"I think they are just trying to take a look at him in the event Carr signed somewhere else,'' said agent Brian Levy, who represents Jones. "I've talked to some other teams about him, so we'll see.''

Also on Thursday, cornerback Eric Green agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins. Green visited the Titans last week on a free agency visit.

In addition to Jones, the Titans also remain interested in return man Justin Miller, who also visited with team officials last week. Miller played last season the the Jets and Raiders.

Ha...I thought this was another Jones...I thought Tenn. lost their mind.

Mark is a solid player, I just don't think he was ever in our long terms plans and was only here because RR got hurt. Fox still sees it as his job and Jones is just an afterthought.

Mmmmm, Carr...

As crappy as oaktown has been the past few years, he excelled at KR. I think he's just a decent CB. He is small but he's hella fast.

Wiki: In 2006 he became the Raiders all-time leader in kickoff returns with a total of 142 for 3,514 yards.

Yes, that's where I was thinking more than CB...

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By rayzor · Posted

      Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do.

      Does the Canales era have a new vibe?

      To be honest I just haven't been paying attention. I have PTSD from all these shitty Tepper hires. I'm just going to wait and see what takes the field.

      What is extremely rare?  Taking a young quarterback when you have a starter?  If that is what you are referring to, at one time it wasn't that rare.
