The Tennessee Titans wanted an experienced kicker, and they got one Wednesday night by agreeing to terms with Gary Anderson, the NFL's career scoring leader and once again the league's oldest active player.
The Titans lost kicker Joe Nedney for the season to a torn ligament in his right, non-kicking leg during their 25-20 victory Sunday over the Oakland Raiders. Nedney and punter Craig Hentrich combined to kick four field goals in the game.
"It was important to find a veteran kicker who has made all the big kicks and been in all of the situations," general manager Floyd Reese said. "We feel like Gary is the best available kicker and that we couldn't afford to take a chance with a younger player with the number of games in this league that come down to a final kick."
