Titans sign former Steelers safety Chris Hope
March 15, 2006
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans agreed to a six-year contract with free-agent safety Chris Hope on Wednesday.
Hope started the last 32 regular-season games for Pittsburgh, including every game in the team's run to the Super Bowl. He had a career-high three interceptions last season.
"Pittsburgh was a great place," he said at a news conference. "I was limited to just play in the middle of the field, but I have the ability to play either safety."
Earlier this week he visited Miami, and planned to go to San Francisco to meet with the 49ers, but decided against it after meeting with Titans general manager Floyd Reese.
"I felt Tennessee was my new home," Hope said.
Hope was the fourth free agent signed by the Titans this week, joining linebacker David Thornton, wide receiver David Givens and center Kevin Mawae.
"Again, I think (he's) an example of what we've been looking for," Reese said.
