NASHVILLE -- The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with Chiefs running back, receiver and kick returner Dexter McCluster, said a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press on Tuesday because the deal had not been announced minutes after NFL free agency started. The Titans had no immediate comment, but McCluster wrote on Twitter, "Very excited to join the (at)TennesseeTitans." McCluster was switched between wide receiver and running back early in his career but flourished in 2013 as a slot receiver and punt returner for new Kansas City coach Andy Reid. The former second-round pick out of Mississippi caught a career-high 53 passes for 611 yards and two touchdowns, and also had two punt return touchdowns, earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl. That production was a big reason why Kansas City went from two wins in 2012 to 11-5 and the playoffs last season. But that also made McCluster too pricy for the cash-strapped Chiefs to bring back. His versatility could be why the Titans want him for new coach Ken Whisenhunt. McClusters best year as a running back came in 2011 when he averaged 4.5 yards per carry on 114 rushes, and he has been much more consistent as a receiver with at least 46 catches in each of the past three years. He also offers an option on special teams with his three career TDs on punt returns. ESPN.com first reported the deal. This deal could put the Titans closer to a move with Chris Johnson, due $8 million this season with three years left on the $53.5 million contract extension he signed Sept. 2, 2011. He is coming off his second-worst rushing performance with 1,077 yards and a career-low 3.9-yard average, and the Titans also have Shonn Greene and recently signed Jackie Battle to a new deal.

The person requested anonymity because an official announcement had not been made. The Jazz later confirmed the signing, but didnt release the terms.We have great regard for Alecs work ethic and dynamic athletic ability as well as his growth potential, Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey said in a statement. Alec is a young player with a unique skillset and true passion for basketball who consistently finds the gym and has displayed the characteristics and desire to continue to improve his game.Burks was the 12th overall pick in 2011 out of Colorado. After averaging just over 7.0 points and playing fewer than 18 minutes per game in his first two seasons, Burks made some big strides for the struggling Jazz last season. He averaged 14.0 points and 3.3 rebounds and is off to a nice start this season with 16.5 points on 50 per cent shooting in the Jazzs first two games.Burks progress motivated the Jazz to get a deal done with another piece of a young core that has been assembled to help get the once perennial Western Conference playoff contenders back into the mix after finishing 25-57 last year.I feel very blessed and want to thank the Miller family and Jazz organization for their belief in me and my aabilities, and to have made this type of commitment to me, Burks said in a statement.dddddddddddd. Jazz fans have been very supportive of me since day one, and I am very happy to be able to continue my playing career in Utah, which has become like a second home to my family and me.The two sides had until midnight to strike a deal or Burks would have become a restricted free agent next summer. The Jazz still would have had the right to match any offer he received on the open market, just like they did this summer when small forward Gordon Hayward signed an offer sheet with the Charlotte Hornets.But having gone through the sometimes tricky restricted free agent process already with Hayward, the Jazz decided to do everything they could to avoid a return visit with Burks.Exactly how Burks will fit in over the long term in a crowded Utah backcourt will be interesting to watch. His abilities as a scorer and potential to be an athletic defender are obvious, but the Jazz also have Trey Burke and Dante Exum — their last two first-round draft picks — there looking for big minutes.Exum, the fifth overall pick this season out of Australia, can play both guard spots but is considered to be more of a long-term project. Hes averaging 14.5 minutes per game in the first two games of the season, while the more-seasoned Burks is getting 31.0 minutes per game and is tied with Derrick Favours for the team lead in scoring.Burks is also shooting 57 per cent from 3-point range in the first two games after shooting 35 per cent in his first three seasons.___Follow Jon Krawczynski on Twitter: http://twitter.com/APKrawczynski ' ' '
