Tennessee made room for the Fisher by releasing defensive tackle former Kealakehe athlete Jesse Mahelona, a fifth-round pick out of Tennessee in 2006.

The Titans have been looking to add depth at defensive end to help Kyle Vanden Bosch. Antwan Odom and former University of Hawaii star Travis LaBoy have struggled with injuries their first three seasons.

Fisher, a seven-year veteran who started the two previous seasons, had been replaced with the faster Darryl Tapp, the Seahawks' second-round draft choice in 2006.

"He has a lot of the attributes that you look for in a base defensive end — someone who plays the run, has the ability to rush the passer and can play either side," said Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt. "I expect him to fit well in our system and add to the depth that we are building in the defensive line."

The Seahawks also acquired Cleveland quarterback Charlie Frye for an undisclosed draft pick. The Browns said Frye must pass a physical for the trade to be completed. Cleveland.

Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said yesterday he was still trying to sign a veteran passer so Seneca Wallace, the backup to starter Matt Hasselbeck, could possibly fill a need at wide receiver.

The Seahawks lost starting receiver D.J. Hackett in Sunday's season opener to a high ankle sprain, and he is out indefinitely. In explaining who will move up the depth chart at wideout, Holmgren said. "My ace in the hole is Seneca Wallace."

The Seahawks have used Wallace sporadically at wide receiver, most notably for catches in each of the last two postseasons.

Fisher is the second Seattle player the Titans have added since June under Reinfeldt, who joined Tennessee after working as a player personnel executive with the Seahawks. The Titans picked up cornerback Kelly Herndon in June after he was cut by Seattle.

The 30-year-old Fisher made 36 regular-season and postseason starts from 2005-06, including the Super Bowl two seasons ago. His sacks went from a career-high nine in '05 to four last season. He was a seventh-round pick of Buffalo in 2001 who played one season for the Bills and three with the St. Louis Rams before signing as a free agent with his hometown team before the 2005 season.

Seattle will receive an undisclosed draft pick for Fisher.

The trade completes the team's upgrade of its pass rush. Seattle gave Patrick Kerney $19.5 million in guarantees to sign from Atlanta as a free agent to replace the slowing Grant Wistrom, then promoted the faster Tapp. Then the Seahawks traded last week for undersized, quick end Jason Babin, a former No. 1 draft choice of the Houston Texans.

Kerney and Tapp each had 1 1/2 sacks in Sunday's 20-6 victory over Tampa Bay. Fisher played sparingly and did not record a tackle. Babin, still learning the defense, was inactive.
