The Titans have agreed to terms with former Colts defensive tackle Corey Simon, who is expected to bolster what was one of the NFL's worst run defenses last season.
Simon, who visited with Titans officials last week, could be on the practice field as early as today. Tennessee ranked 30th in run defense last season, giving up almost 145 yards per game.Terms of Simon's contract with the Titans were not immediately available.

“Corey brings a combination of run-stuffing size and pass rushing ability to the defensive tackle position,” said Titans General Manager Mike Reinfeldt. “Prior to last season, he has been a consistent and productive player who contributed to playoff teams and we are excited to see him get a second chance here with the Titans to prove he still has that ability.”
The Colts signed Simon to a five-year, $30 million contract in 2005. They terminated the contract on Aug. 4, in part due to Simon's health issues.

Simon did not play last season because of a knee injury and an undisclosed illness.
In 91 regular season and 13 postseason games, Simon has 351 tackles and 33 sacks. A sixth-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2000, he was a Pro Bowl selection in 2003.
To make room for Simon on the roster, the Titans released former Brentwood Academy kicker John Vaughn.

Is he even healthy? I swore he failed a physical with Indy before they cut him.

I guess so if he practiced today, if he can get back to his pro bowl self it will be a great addition..

No doubt. That's a big if, but it would well be a good gamble to take.

I like the signing...and the Colts have some rookies DT playing well right now.

yeah he did fail his physical at Indy but then again he didnt play since january of 2006 and they won the Super Bowl without him so i dont think they were that fussed about him coming back...i like the signing and i think he will definatly bring a lot to the D line becuase we have some good DE's but not so great DT's...i think we will become a better run defense but i still think we will be getting beat downfield a lot so hopefully our pass defense will be able to disrupt that
