The Titans on Monday agreed to terms with five players who took part in their recent rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

Running back Waymon James, receiver Julian Horton, offensive lineman Viondy Merisma, cornerback Winston Wright and linebacker David Gilbert all reached deals with the team.

James played 35 games at TCU, where he gained 1,798 yards and 16 touchdowns on 280 carries for a 6.4-yard average. Horton played in 45 games at Arkansas, where he had 39 receptions for 504 yards in his career.

Also on Monday, the Titans released veteran fullback Quinn Johnson. He played in four games for the Titans last season after playing in all 16 games in 2012.

Johnson initially joined the Titans in 2011. Johnson has also spent time with the Packers and Broncos in his career.

The Titans also waived cornerback George Baker, linebacker Jamal Merrell and receiver Eric Ward (injured) on Monday.
