NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee has acquired defensive end Jason Babin after the Philadelphia Eagles declined to match the Titans’ offer.
Under a right of first refusal clause the Eagles put into Babin’s contract, they had one week to match the offer sheet signed Wednesday. Without the clause, Babin would be an unrestricted free agent because of his six years of NFL service.
The Titans announced that Philadelphia notified the NFL on Friday it would not match the offer.
