Titans agreed to terms with P Brett Kern on a four-year, $5.2 million extension, including $2.1 million guaranteed. | ||||||
Not bad for a player claimed off waivers a year and a half ago. Kern's 42.9 average was mediocre in 2010, but he finished an impressive sixth in the more important net average with 39.1. A telling stat is that returners averaged just 6.1 yards per punt against Kern last season. | ||||||

Brett Kern is the favorite to win the Titans' punting job. | ||||||
Craig Hentrich retired, clearing the way for the 24-year-old Kern. He averaged 45.0 yards per punt in the final 10 games of the season with the Titans last year. Kicker/punter Ricky Schmitt is also in camp, but shouldn't push Kern too hard. | ||||||
