The burly and bruising White helped Carroll win a national championship with the Trojans. But he lost his starting job to Chris Johnson in 2009, and had problems with being late for meetings.

"As far as LenDale falling out of favor, he practiced," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "He was prepared to play. I think I can't blame him for wanting to play more. That's the kind of players you want on your roster. Considering the circumstances, he handled things. There were issues I don't need to bring up. I thought he handled things reasonably well."

The Seahawks also acquired the versatile Washington, who is recovering from a broken right leg, and a seventh-round pick from the Jets for a fifth-round pick. Washington recently re-signed with the Jets, for whom he has starred as a kick returner, runner and receiver.

"It's a great opportunity," he said. "I'm just excited."

Vickerson was suspended for four games in 2008 for violating the NFL performance enhancers policy. He's been a situational player for Tennessee.

Washington became expendable when the Jets moved up to Carolina's spot to draft USC's Joe McKnight, further loading up the team's backfield.

"Whatever Coach [Rex] Ryan wants me to play, I'll play whatever," McKnight said by phone from his home in River Ridge, La. "Whatever role he has for me in the package or whatever he wants me to do on the field, I'm going to do whatever."

The Jets also have last year's playoff sensation as a rookie, Shonn Greene, and LaDainian Tomlinson, whom they signed after San Diego released the veteran star.
