Philadelphia Eagles: Sean Landeta is back in a familiar place.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed the veteran punter to a one-year contract on Tuesday.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

The 43-year-old Landeta ranks first in NFL history with 1,367 career punts and 20 years of service. During those 20 seasons, he has punted for 59,224 yards and a 43.3-yard average. Landeta led the NFC in punting four times and has a better than 2:1 ratio on punts downed inside the 20 vs. touchbacks (376-164).

Landeta played for the Eagles from 1999-2002, punting 342 times for a 42.7 yard average.

This time, he will compete with Dirk Johnson for the punting job. Johnson averaged 42.1 yards last season.

Tennessee Titans: In an effort to shore up the No. 3 quarterback spot behind starter Steve McNair and top backup Billy Volek, the Tennessee Titans have signed veteran free agent Chris Redman, who was out of the league in 2004.

Redman, 24, worked out for the team on Sunday, practiced on Monday, and is expected to see action in this weekend's preseason game. The former Louisville standout, a third-round choice of the Baltimore Ravens in 2000, is coming off shoulder surgery. He was signed by New England early in the offseason, but released on June 2.

In 10 appearances, Redman has completed 106 of 198 passes for 1,111 yards, with seven touchdown passes, five interceptions and a passer rating of 71.3. He opened the 2002 season as the Ravens' starter, and started the first six games that year before being sidelined by a back injuury. Baltimore released him after the 2003 season.

Tennessee went to camp with four undrafted free agent quarterbacks and just one, Shane Boyd of Kentucky, now remains. Former Heisman Trophy winner Jason White of Oklahoma retired last week. The Titans moved Marcus Randall of LSU to safety and on Monday released former University of Cincinnati standout Gino Guidugli. Boyd and Redman will vie for the final spot on the depth chart.
