The Tennessee Titans are signing quarterback Hendon Hooker, running back Michael Carter and wide receivers K.J. Osborn and Lance McCutcheon, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
Financial terms were not disclosed on any of the deals, with the players expected to add depth during training camp and into the preseason.
Hooker, 28, returns to the state where he starred with the Tennessee Volunteers for two seasons and finished fifth in the 2022 Heisman Trophy voting. He earned SEC Offensive Player of the Year honors with 3,135 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and only two interceptions.
A third-round pick by Detroit in 2023, Hooker appeared in three games for the Lions in 2024 and completed 6 of 9 passes for 62 yards. He has spent time with the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets without seeing any action.
Osborn, 28, spent time on the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad but did not play in any NFL games last season.
He has 165 receptions for 1,902 yards and 16 touchdowns in 67 career games (34 starts) with the Minnesota Vikings (2020-23), New England Patriots (2024) and Washington Commanders (2024). The Vikings drafted him in the fifth round out of Miami in 2020.
Carter, 26, was last with the Arizona Cardinals and has five years of NFL experience, including time with the Jets from 2021-23 under new Titans head coach Robert Saleh. He has 1,692 career rushing yards with nine touchdowns and 145 receptions for 1,038 yards.
McCutcheon, 27, last played in the NFL in 2022 when he appeared in 10 games with the Los Angeles Rams. He also spent time with the Houston Texans, Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers and Titans but did not appear in a game. He was on the Titans' practice squad last season and announced his retirement in March before reconsidering.
