He spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears, who waived him on Saturday. Mariani, who kept his house in Nashville, was at practice Monday and said it feels good to be back with the Titans who drafted him in the seventh round out of Montana in 2010.I didnt want to leave the first time, and Im excited to be with a team and an organization that I love and that has treated me so well and also a team that I really think I can help and wants me to help and contribute, Mariani said. It feels good to be wanted down here, and Im excited to get things rolling.Mariani was a Pro Bowl returner as a rookie but was on injured reserve for both 2012 and 2013. The Titans released him in the final cuts of August 2014, and Chicago signed him in November that year. Titans coach Mike Mularkey was coaching tight ends on Ken Whisenhunts staff in 2014 and said Tennessee brought Mariani back for his return skills.Really it gives us somebody in both areas that we can use as a returner that has been to the Pro Bowl because of it, Mularkey said. Hes had a lot of success. It was good for this team. This team is excited to have him back. I think the fans will be, as well. Hes one of these guys weve been talking about -- tough, dependable and team-first. He fits right in with us right away.Mularkey said the Titans gave players chances to win the job as returner. They also released Dexter McCluster, who had returned punts, on Friday.We gave guys chances, Mularkey said. We attempted to develop. You can say that about a lot of guys. Thats your job, and sometimes it doesnt work that way. No, I havent given that a second thought.The 29-year-old Mariani has career averages of 9.5 yards per punt return and 25 yards per kickoff return. He has scored on two punt returns and one kickoff return.
