The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with Bironas, keeping him off the free agent market and with the team he has spent the past eight seasons.|||||||
The Titans announced the deal Thursday. NFL.com and The Tennessean both report the deal is for two years. Bironas, 35, ranks as the third most accurate kicker in NFL history, connecting on 85.6 percent of his attempts. He trails only Al Del Greco as the franchise's leading scorer with 916 points.
Bironas kicked his fourth field goal, a 40-yarder as time expired, and the Titans beat the Steelers 26-23 on Thursday night to snap a two-game skid.|||||||
Still one of the league's best, Bironas also had field goals of 22 and 38 yards in the first quarter, and his 47-yarder on the final play of the first half gave Tennessee a 16-10 lead.
Bironas' 38-yard field goal in the second quarter of Sunday's 30-3 win over Carolina was the 200th of his career.|||||||
Bironas is 13 of 15 on field goals this season while making all 21 of his extra-point tries.

Last season, Bironas was 29-of-33 on field-goal attempts and accounted for 127 points. The Titans originally signed him as a free agent in 2005.
