NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with receiver Justin Hunter, their second-round draft selection.
The 6-foot-3 Hunter spent three seasons at the University of Tennessee where he caught 106 passes for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns.
He was second-team All-Southeastern Conference as a junior after 73 receptions for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns.
His 73 catches ranked second in school history, while his yards were third best.
That leaves only guard Chance Warmack, the 10th draft selection overall, and cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson, their first of two picks in the third round, not under contract yet.

Holdsclaws plea deal
avoids jail sentence

ATLANTA (AP) — Ex-WNBA player, Olympic gold medalist and University of Tennessee women’s basketball star Chamique Holdsclaw has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from an argument and shooting in November with an alleged former girlfriend.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard says Holdsclaw pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and other charges.
The 35-year-old was sentenced to three years’ probation and ordered to pay a $3,000 fine under the plea agreement.
Holdsclaw’s attorney Ed Garland says his client “felt that to honestly accept what her actions were was best for everyone concerned.”
