Titans await decision to get Oakland's Carr
By JIM WYATT • Staff Writer • April 5, 2008

The Titans were expecting to add Raiders cornerback/return man Chris Carr to their roster on Friday, but were still awaiting word from the NFL.

The Raiders had until 11 p.m. Friday, according to the Titans, to notify the NFL if they were going to match the offer sheet Carr signed with the Titans last Friday. Indications in Oakland were the Raiders would not match the one-year offer. Carr wasn't drafted, so the Titans wouldn't have to compensate the Raiders.

In three NFL seasons, the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Carr has played in 48 games with four starts. He ranks as the Raiders' all-time leader in kickoff returns (201) and kickoff return yards (4,841). He had a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown in 2006.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Cornerback and kick returner Chris Carr officially joined the Tennessee Titans when the Oakland Raiders declined to match Tennessee's offer sheet.

The Titans signed Carr, a restricted free agent, a week ago. The Raiders had until Friday night to match the contract. The Titans said Saturday that Oakland had declined to match the offer sheet.

Tennessee hopes to improve its return game with the addition of Carr, who was the Raiders' career leader in kickoff returns with 201 and kickoff return yards with 4,841.

In three NFL seasons, Carr has played in 48 games, with four starts.
