I'm hearing Briggs is headed to the 49ers

Samuel looks likely headed to the Eagles, he's meeting with the team later today

Re: List of NFL Free Agents -- Signing Period starts Friday... Where will they Land

A league source told Scout.com to expect Falcons free agent WLB Demorrio Williams (Atlanta Falcons) to visit the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Chicago Bears.

Re: List of NFL Free Agents -- Signing Period starts Friday... Where will they Land

Look for the Lions to sign Chargers CB Drayton Florence and also look for Detroit to also go after Broncos CB Domonique Foxworth

Re: List of NFL Free Agents -- Signing Period starts Friday... Where will they Land

GB just pulled off a good one. Detroit wanted Williams in the worst way. Thats why GB franchised him. Now traded to Clev. and out of the division.

Got a 30 something pick for him. Nice move.

A look at 10 top NFL free agents

By D. ORLANDO LEDBETTER
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 02/29/08 A look at the top players available when the NFL free-agent signing period begins Friday. We've included the chances the player could sign with the Falcons in bold.
• 1. Alan Faneca: The guard started 153 of 158 games for Pittsburgh. Arizona, with former Steelers coaches Russ Grimm and Ken Whisenhunt, is the likely destination. No chance

• More Falcons
</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> • 2. Asante Samuel: The former New England cornerback is expected to get the biggest deal. He could join Nate Clements in the $80-million club. No chance
• 3. Randy Moss: After a record-breaking season, the wide receiver is expected to stay in New England. Patriots don't want to pay market price for Moss. No chance
• 4. Michael Turner: Powerful running back played behind LaDainian Tomlinson in San Diego. He could start for most teams. Good chance
• 5. Bernard Berrian: Fleet wide receiver from Chicago has shown flashes, despite an undependable quarterback. Has big-play potential. No chance
• 6. Julius Jones: A hard runner who shared time with Marion Barber in Dallas. Now will get a chance to carry a full load. Good chance
• 7. Lance Briggs: The outside linebacker from Chicago wants Brian Urlacher money. He likely will get it. No chance
• 8. Gibril Wilson: The former N.Y. Giants safety is a good tackler with very good range. He had four interceptions last year. Good chance
• 9. Alge Crumpler: The tight end flashed some signs of the old Crumpler in the season finale. If healthy, he could come back to haunt the Falcons. No chance
• 10. Madieu Williams: Safety from Cincinnati has the cover skills of a cornerback. An intelligent defender with ability to call defensive signals. Good chance
Other top free agents: Donte Stallworth, WR (New England); Antwan Odom, DE (Tennessee); Clark Haggins, LB (Indianapolis); Justin Smith, DE (Cincinnati); Calvin Pace, LB (Arizona)

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] NFL personnel people are busy readying for the open of the free-agency period at the end of the month. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] They have already done the in-house evaluations of their rosters, which means it's time to start looking around at the other 31 teams for players who can help. [/FONT]

</td> <td width="15"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="200"> Asante Samuel, can you smell the cash? (Getty Images) </td> <td width="15"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] There are so many teams that have an abundance of cap room -- 18 are expected to have $20 million or more -- it could mean a lot of funny money being thrown around. The cap is expected to be in the $116 million range, which means a lot of teams will come out firing. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] In other words, great players will get paid a ton, good players too much and so-so players way too much. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Once again, look for name players to be the guys the fans want to sign quickly. That is a mistake. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] We don't fall into that trap here. When I put together my list of the top 32 free agents, it is done with an eye on the future, not on the past. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] That's why you might think the list that follows is a bit different than the norm. Two other things about my list: It doesn't include any players we expect to be hit with the franchise tag and it doesn't include restricted free agents. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] In the franchise category, that leaves off players like Oakland corner Nnamdi Asomugha, Kansas City defensive end Jared Allen, Carolina tackle Jordan Gross, Baltimore defensive end Terrell Suggs, Seattle corner Marcus Trufant, Tennessee defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, Arizona linebacker Karlos Dansby and Philadelphia tight end L.J. Smith (already tagged). [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Those players can still move, but the tag basically makes it almost impossible, the compensation far too great to prevent a team from signing them. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] So they're all off the list. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Age is also a consideration. I'm not big on putting guys over 30 on my list, although there are exceptions. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] You might notice me leaning toward young, rising players. Those are the players I would look to sign. That's why a player like Tennessee Titans defensive end Antwan Odom is ranked at No. 2. He is just touching the surface of his ability. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] There are other young players who might be higher on this list than others. It's looking to the future, not the past. That's the key to any free-agency class. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 1. Asante Samuel, CB, New England Patriots: He is a premier corner who is coming off an All-Pro season. He will get the biggest contract on the market. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 2. Antwan Odom, DE, Tennessee Titans: In a league starved for pass rushers, here's a 26-year old coming off an eight-sack season. The Titans will be hard-pressed to keep him considering they will have to franchise Haynesworth. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 3. Randy Moss, WR, New England Patriots: I love the way he plays. But he turns 31 this week and one has to wonder how he'll be as a player in another system, without the peer pressure to toe the line. The Pats might still franchise him, but that's not a definite.

Corey Williams, DT, Green Bay Packers: This 27-year-old is one of the better young players available. At 312 pounds, he can hold up against the run, and he has 14 sacks over the past two seasons. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 5. Lance Briggs, LB, Chicago Bears: The Bears would love to keep him but they can't franchise him, so he will hit the market. He's coming off a heck of a season and should cash in on it. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 6. Flozell Adams, T, Dallas Cowboys: After a so-so year in 2006, he played well last season. Was it a money push? The Cowboys would love to have him back, but only at the right price. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 7. Justin Smith, DE, Cincinnati Bengals: He had only two sacks last season, which hurts his marketability. But he's a better player than that. In a league looking for pass rushers, he will get overpaid some. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 8. Alan Faneca, G, Pittsburgh Steelers: If he were four years younger, he'd be even higher. He played at a really high level last season after a so-so 2006. But at 31, how much more does he have left? [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 9. Bernard Berrian, WR, Chicago Bears: He had a little case of the drops last season, but his deep speed is enticing. He's the next-best deep threat on the market after Moss. [/FONT]

Michael Turner, RB, San Diego Chargers: I'm not big on paying running backs who played with other teams, but he will get his money. He'll give his new team two or three good years. There's already wear and tear on the tires. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 11. Jacob Bell, G, Tennessee Titans: He has developed into a power player for the Titans. He is part of a good offensive line that doesn't get the attention it deserves. He has 31 starts the past two seasons. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 12. Gibril Wilson, S, New York Giants: He is coming off a good playoff run that probably upped his value. He led the Giants in tackles in two playoff games. He is a physical safety with range. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 13. Ken Hamlin, S, Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys signed him to a one-year deal and he responded with a Pro Bowl season. That's cashing in. He is a big hitter who played better against the pass last season than he did when he was with Seattle. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 14. Ryan Lilja, G, Indianapolis Colts: He has developed into a good player the past two years and he is a big reason the Colts' running game has improved. The way guards got paid last year, he will get his this time around. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 15. Bryant Johnson, WR, Arizona Cardinals: He is the third receiver in Arizona, so bringing him back is a luxury. The Cardinals want to keep him but it might be tough. He has good speed. He caught 46 passes and made eight starts last season. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 16. Drayton Florence, CB, San Diego Chargers: He lost his starting job to Antonio Cromartie, but played well as a nickel corner after that. With teams searching for corners to match up against the spread offenses, he should be a wanted commodity. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 17. D.J. Hackett, WR, Seattle Seahawks: He played in only six games due to injury, but he is 26 and was being counted on as a big part of the Seattle offense. In one three-game span in November, he had 23 catches for 294 yards and three scores. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 18. Calvin Pace, LB, Arizona Cardinals: The former defensive end moved to linebacker and responded with a 6?-sack season. He also showed he has the foot speed to play the position. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 19. Tommy Kelly, DT, Oakland Raiders: Before tearing an ACL, he was a quality starter for the Raiders, a player on the upswing. If he can show that the knee is rehabbing right, he will get a nice deal. The team that signs him will be getting a good defensive lineman. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 20. Travis LaBoy, DE, Tennessee Titans: He was used mostly as a speed rusher and had six sacks. Injuries have held him back, but he's only 26. He plays with a lot of effort. [/FONT]

Jerry Porter, WR, Oakland Raiders: He had 44 catches last season in a bad offense, but averaged 16 yards per catch. At 29, he still has some good football left. He will be free when the period opens after opting out of his contract. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 22. Rex Grossman, QB, Chicago Bears: In a quarterback-famished league, he's bound to get some action. Grossman did lead a team to the Super Bowl two years ago. Maybe a new team will be good for him. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 23. Jamal Lewis, RB, Cleveland Browns: He signed a one-year deal with the Browns and surprised a lot of people -- me included -- with a big season. But can he expect a long-term deal after eight years as an NFL running back? For a season or two, he could be a bargain. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 24. Kawika Mitchell, LB, New York Giants: He's another player who took a one-year deal and will now cash in. Mitchell exceeded a lot of expectations for the Giants [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 25. Eugene Wilson, S, New England Patriots: He has started 55 games the past five seasons, playing both corner and safety. He started six games last season and has range for a team looking for a free safety. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 26. Stacy Andrews, T-G, Cincinnati Bengals: He can play both guard and tackle and filled in nicely last year when injuries hit Willie Anderson. Andrews moved to right tackle and played well. [/FONT]

Julius Jones, RB, Dallas Cowboys: He lost his starting job by season's end to Marion Barber. The Cowboys will let Jones walk. Can he be a decent starter? Yes. But if he's asking for mega-money he might be in for a shock. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 28. Josh Brown, K, Seattle Seahawks: Brown made 28 of 34 field-goal attempts, his misses all coming from outside 40 yards, two from outside 50. I don't normally put kickers on the list, but he's worth a look. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 29. Sean Locklear, RT, Seattle Seahawks: He has 42 starts the past three seasons at right tackle. In a league where there aren't a lot of them, he has some value. He's another 26-year-old player. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 30. Maurice Williams, T-G, Jacksonville Jaguars: He was benched as the team's right tackle this season when the Jags signed Tony Pashos, but Williams played well when he started the final two months at guard. He can play both positions, which will help his value. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 31. Max Starks, T, Pittsburgh Steelers: He was a starter at right tackle in the Super Bowl season of 2005 and in 2006, but lost his job this season in camp. When injuries hit, he moved to left tackle and played well. He's a huge man at 6-8 and 335 pounds. He did end the season on IR with a knee injury, but it isn't serious. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 32. Jake Scott, G, Indianapolis Colts: He has started 48 games the past three seasons for a good offense. And he's only 26. At 290 pounds, he's not big enough to play in all systems. [/FONT]

</td> </tr></tbody></table>

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] It's really a simple equation. NFL teams have plenty of money to spend, and there simply aren't many top-flight players on the free-agent market. That will equal plenty of overpaying. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT] <table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="200"> <tbody><tr> <td width="200">

</td> <td width="15"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="200"> Former Jags starter Byron Leftwich might be a good buy for the right team. (US Presswire) </td> <td width="15"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] NFL teams just can't help themselves. When the free-agent period begins Thursday at midnight, there will be more than 20 teams with $20 million in cap room. And there aren't a lot of big-time players on the market. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] So-so players are about to get paid. Teams are about to go nuts. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Fiscal restraint is not something we will see. The general managers and coaches will all say they aren't diving in right away, but want to bet there will be plenty of action in the pool come Friday morning? [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] "Hold back?" said one NFC coach. "A lot of these teams will have deals in place when it begins, for huge money." [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] That's called tampering. But it's the most unreported crime in the league, next to spying on the opposition. Why? Everybody does it. It's like going 85 on the highway. Don't we all speed? The unfortunate ones are those who get caught. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] NFL tampering is the same way. They all do it. It's just nobody gets caught. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The smart teams won't rush to spend. They are the free-agent sharks in the pool, those who know all the angles. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Angle 1 for any shark: Never jump into free agency right away. Look for bargains. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] So that's what we've done, scanning the free-agent list in search of potential bargains. None of the players on my list are from my top 32 free agents from a few weeks ago. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] All are relatively young and all might come for a pretty good price. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] So while some team is laying out $10 million a year for Patriots corner Asante Samuel or $9 million for Bengals defensive end Justin Smith on Friday or Saturday, just remember fiscal restraint might actually end up being the smart way to do. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Bargains can be had. Here are 10 of them: [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Ernest Wilford, WR, Jaguars: He had a career-high 45 catches last season in 14 starts. He is a big, strong receiver, but his speed is a concern. He can be a quality second starter for a team with a speed option on the other side, which the Jaguars did not have. He could be gone early in the period. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Benny Sapp, CB, Kansas City Chiefs: He's a small corner at 5-9 who plays with a feisty attitude. He's had some off-field issues in college, which some teams might still hold against him. But he's worth a look as a nickel corner. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Yeremiah Bell, S, Miami Dolphins: He suffered an Achilles tendon injury last season that forced him out for all but the opener. But in 2006 he was a player who showed the ability to be an above-average safety. If he can show he's recovered, he could be a heck of a bargain. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Josh Thomas, DE, Indianapolis Colts: He has played behind Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, but at 26 he might be worth a look. He had 13 tackles in his last two games of 2007, playing for the injured Freeney. He's a try-hard guy who has good size at 6-4, 270 pounds. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Randy Starks, DT, Tennessee Titans: He was the Titans' third tackle behind Albert Haynesworth and Tony Brown. At 6-3, 312, he's 24 years old and has a lot of good football in front of him. He had six tackles in a start for Haynesworth against the Jaguars last season. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Boss Bailey, LB, Detroit Lions: The brother of Broncos corner Champ Bailey has started 35 games the past three seasons, including 12 last season, when had 51 tackles and 3? sacks. He is a run-and-chase linebacker who doesn't have great size. But in the right defense he can be an effective starter. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Victor Hobson, LB, New York Jets: He's started 48 games the past three seasons and been solid. He tailed off some last season, his tackle total dropping from 100 to 48 and sacks from six to two. But he's 28 and has good football left in that body. Would be a better fit in a 4-3 defense. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Kevin Bentley, LB, Seattle Seahawks: He was a good special-teams player for the Seahawks and started two games. For a team looking for a good backup and a good specials teams player, Bentley would be a good choice. He's 28. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Byron Leftwich, QB, Atlanta Falcons: Yes, he has been let go by two teams in the past year. But at this time a year ago he was the starter for a good Jaguars team. He needs to get with the right team, one that has speed outside, likes the deep passing game and has a good offensive line. It won't cost much, so why not give him a look? [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Kris Wilson, TE, Kansas City Chiefs: He was overshadowed by Tony Gonzalez in Kansas City, but still caught 24 passes last season. He has some pass-catching ability. At 26, he's still young enough to become a starter somewhere. He is more like an H-back than a tight end, which might make fitting him in tough. [/FONT]

word in Green Bay is that they are sending DT Corey Williams to the Browns for Cleveland's 2nd round pick- 56th overall. The only thing holding the deal back is the Browns want to extend Williams contract before the trade is made.

Falcons court free-agent RB Turner

By STEVE WYCHE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 02/29/08 San Diego Chargers free agent running back Michael Turner is visiting with the Falcons Friday, with the team hoping to sign the four-year veteran, according to Bus Cook, who represents Turner.
Turner, a bruising 5-10, 237-pounder, has served as LaDainian Tomlinson's backup but is viewed by many as a starter and is considered the top running back on the free-agent market. He's rushed for 1,257 yards and six touchdowns the past four seasons. Atlanta's recruitment of Turner further signals the team's intention to move forward without veteran Warrick Dunn.

Besides Turner, the Falcons also played host to Tennessee tight end Ben Hartsock, a part-time player for much of his career who is mainly a run blocker. The Falcons are trying to find a replacement for four-time Pro Bowler Alge Crumpler, who was waived.

QB Anderson Agrees to Deal With Browns

By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
<script language="JavaScript">  </script><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">  </script> Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson wasn't a free agent for long.
Anderson has agreed to a multiyear contract to stay with the Browns, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been completed.

Browns general manager Phil Savage says if Anderson declines the Browns' three-year offer on a new contract and becomes a restricted free agent Friday, it's unlikely he'll be back. (AP Photo/Amy Sancetta, file)

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/coxnet/js/daytonbreadcrumb.js"></script></td></tr></tbody></table>  General manager Phil Savage believed if Anderson had gotten an offer from another team, the Browns probably wouldn't have been able to keep him. The Browns had been prepared to turn their offense over to Brady Quinn.
The team had been negotiating a three-year, $20 million deal for Anderson. The 24-year-old agreed to a deal just hours after he became a restricted free agent.
Anderson threw 29 touchdown passes and 19 interceptions last season and went 10-5 after taking over as the starter in Week 2. He made the Pro Bowl as an alternate.
Also Friday, the Browns were nearing a trade for Green Bay defensive tackle Corey Williams.
Williams, who tied a career-high with seven sacks last season, was designated as the Packers' franchise player last week. The Browns were expected to send a third-round draft pick to the Packers for the 6-foot-4, 313-pound lineman.
Savage needs to upgrade Cleveland's defensive front with only Robaire Smith and Shaun Smith currently under contract.
Anderson hit the free agent market at 12:01 a.m. after his agents were unable to complete a deal with the Browns. Savage believed other teams were interested in Anderson.
If he had signed with another team, the Browns would have had a week to match that offer. Savage indicated the team likely would have let him go and received a first- and third-round picks in April's draft as compensation.
The Browns don't have a first-round pick after trading it away last April to select Quinn, the former Notre Dame star who threw only eight passes in his rookie season for Cleveland.
Savage's preference was to keep both quarterbacks for at least another season, but with Anderson back, the Browns still have the option of trading one of the two QBs to get draft picks and improve a team that just missed the playoffs last season.
Anderson failed to beat out Charlie Frye in training camp last season, but took over in Week 2 after Frye was traded to Seattle.
Anderson threw five TDs in his first start against Cincinnati and had the Browns in the playoff hunt until December. But Anderson had his worst game the second time he faced the Bengals, throwing four interceptions in a loss that cost Cleveland a postseason birth.

Eagles Sign Free-Agent CB Samuel

By DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
<script language="JavaScript">  </script><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">  </script> PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles got the defensive playmaker they desperately needed, signing free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel to a six-year contract on Friday.
Samuel, an All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection this past season, spent the last five seasons with the New England Patriots and had 16 interceptions the last two seasons. The Eagles wasted little time making an offer, reportedly worth up to $60 million, on the first day of free agency.
 <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/coxnet/js/daytonbreadcrumbtable.js"></script> "We regarded Asante as the No. 1 available free agent in the NFL," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said.
The Eagles badly needed a shutdown corner like Samuel. Philadelphia had only 11 interceptions last year and failed to score a defensive touchdown. Its defense had an NFL-worst 19 takeaways.
Samuel, a fourth-round draft pick in 2003, also tied the NFL career playoff record with three interceptions returned for TDs
Samuel, who won two Super Bowl rings, has 22 career interceptions. He was protected by New England last year by the franchise player tag.
"I just want a chance to be able to win and get back to the Super Bowl," Samuel said.
Samuel tied Denver's Champ Bailey for the NFL lead with 10 interceptions in 2006 and returned two more picks for touchdowns in the postseason against the Jets and Colts. His 12 total interceptions in the 2006 regular season and playoffs were the highest combined single-season total in Patriots history.
The move means the Eagles will likely trade or shift positions for either Lito Sheppard or Sheldon Brown.
Sheppard, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, is reportedly unhappy with his contract. The Eagles denied a report earlier this month that Sheppard had asked for or been given permission to seek a trade. He signed a five-year extension in November 2004.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said Samuel will be the starting left cornerback, or, what was Sheppard's starting job.
"When you have an opportunity to get the best one in the business, then you need to look at that," Reid said.
Samuel hoped Sheppard and Brown would be on the roster and felt the trio could give the Eagles perhaps the best secondary in the NFL.
When asked if he felt underappreciated in New England, Samuel declined to comment.
He said the Eagles were on the top of a list of four teams he considered visiting. After the Eagles gave him a hard sell on the first day free agents could sign, Samuel decided to stay in Philly.
"When you come to one that makes you happy, why wait around?" Samuel said.
Samuel is the latest in a line of former New England Super Bowl winners who have moved on, joining Deion Branch, Adam Vinatieri, David Givens and Daniel Graham.

Dolphins sign ex-Jags wideout Wilford

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - The Miami Dolphins continued to make offseason moves Friday, signing former Jacksonville wide receiver Ernest Wilford to a four-year contract and ex-New York Jets tight end Sean Ryan to a one-year deal.
Earlier Friday, Miami acquired defensive tackle Jason Ferguson - formerly of the Dallas Cowboys - and are reportedly courting two other unrestricted free agents, Raiders quarterback Josh McCown and Texas linebacker Charlie Anderson.
Wilford has started 37 of his 63 regular season games in a four-year NFL career, catching 141 passes for 1,994 yards and 14 touchdowns. The Virginia Tech product had 45 passes for 518 yards and three TDs in 2007, helping the Jags reach the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
A 6-foot-4, 218-pound native of Richmond, Virginia, Wilford's best statistical season came in 2005, when he hauled in 41 passes for 681 yards and a career- high seven scores.
Ryan has totaled nine receptions for 90 yards in his four NFL seasons, split between the Cowboys and Jets. The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder was a fifth-round draft choice by Dallas in 2004 out of Boston College.

Rams give Brown record kicker deal

Free agent Josh Brown has agreed to a five-year, $14.2 million contract that will make him the highest-paid kicker in NFL history.

Sporting News Rams correspondent Jim Thomas reports on the deal for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Brown, 28, is a five-year veteran who played college ball at Nebraska. He was 28-of-34 on field-goal tries last season and perfect on 43 extra-point tries. He missed once in 224 point-after tries in his career.

He will replace Jeff Wilkins, who announced his retirement Friday after 14 seasons. Wilkins was the Rams' career scoring leader and the NFL's best long-range kicker through the 2007 season.

Lynch takes pay cut, will play for Broncos in '08

ESPN.com news services



  Updated: March 1, 2008, 11:07 AM ET

John Lynch has accepted a pay cut and will return to the Denver Broncos for a fifth season at free safety after pondering free agency or retirement.

Lynch

 Lynch agreed to a one-year deal that, according to Denver-area media outlets, is significantly less than the $3.12 million in salary and roster bonuses he was due to earn under his existing contract. It nearly didn't happen. Lynch had made his decision to leave, even drafting a letter thanking fans and teammates for his four years in Denver. But when Lynch called Broncos owner Pat Bowlen on Thursday night to inform him of his choice, Bowlen was out for a late dinner.
By the time Bowlen called back, Lynch had fallen asleep.
By Friday, Lynch was having a change of heart. And conversations with Bowlen and Broncos coach Mike Shanahan led the nine-time Pro Bowl safety to change his mind and accept less money for at least one more season in Denver.
"I could probably go make more money elsewhere in the free agent market," Lynch told Denver-area media outlets. "And I had really gone to bed excited about that.
"And then I woke up thinking, 'What am I doing?' I've got four kids who are happy here. I've found a home here and I didn't want to be one of those guys going from team to team. I felt I had earned what I had coming to me but sometimes you have to step back and look at the big picture. And the big picture to me was: I had to find a way to make this work."In 15 seasons with the Broncos and Tampa Bay, Lynch has 26 interceptions, 13 sacks and 1,075 tackles. He won a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers in 2002.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Mitchell signed a five-year contract worth a reported $17.5 million, capping a month of February he'll not soon forget after helping the New York Giants beat New England in the Super Bowl. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] "I could say, from this point exactly last year, to this point today, it has been an unbelievable year," said Mitchell, the Giants' only notable free-agent addition last offseason. "I started working out last week, so it's time to move on." [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The Bills moved on, too, terminating the final three years of Tripplett's contract, an indication the team will pursue at least one experienced defensive tackle in free agency. Minus Tripplett, Buffalo has two experienced tackles left, second-year starter Kyle Williams and backup John McCargo. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] As for Tripplett's replacement, don't count on it being Jacksonville's Marcus Stroud, who has three years left on his contract and has the Jaguars' permission to seek a trade. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The three-time Pro Bowl selection cut short his visit with the Bills in Buffalo on Friday after the team's interest cooled upon learning Stroud was seeking a significant raise, a person familiar with the player's visit told the Associated Press. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The person spoke on the condition of anonymity, because of the sensitive nature of the player's visit, which was not confirmed by the Bills. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Stroud, scheduled to make $16.5 million over the three years remaining on his contract, is seeking to restructure his contract after the New York Jets acquired defensive tackle Kris Jenkins in a trade with Carolina earlier in the day. The Jets then came to terms with Jenkins, also a three-time Pro Bowl selection, on a new five-year contract worth $35 million, including $20 million in guaranteed money. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] By signing Mitchell, the Bills did take a step to bolster their linebacking corps. He's expected to play the weak side, rounding out a starting unit of returning veteran Angelo Crowell and second-round draft pick Paul Posluszny, who missed the final 13 games of his rookie season after breaking his forearm. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] "We feel we had the guy in our sights that we wanted, and we were lucky enough to get him," coach Dick Jauron said, referring to Mitchell. "We need to take a step forward, and we all recognize it. We need to get better, and we feel like we have." [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] A five-year veteran, Mitchell had 87 tackles, 3? sacks and an interception, which he returned for a touchdown against the Bills, in 16 starts last season. He also had a fumble return for a TD and added two sacks in four playoff games, including one in the Giants' Super Bowl win. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Selected in the second round of the 2003 draft by Kansas City, Mitchell became a full-time starter midway through his rookie season and spent his first four years with the Chiefs. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Tripplett, scheduled to make about $1.7 million this season, proved expendable, after struggling during his two seasons as a starter in Buffalo. He had 51 tackles and one sack this season, after managing 56 tackles and 2? sacks in 2006. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The focus on defense is a switch from last year, when Buffalo concentrated on improving its offense, signing guard Derrick Dockery and tackle Langston Walker to contracts worth a combined $74 million on the first day of free agency. [/FONT]

Falcons agree to deal with safety Coleman

By STEVE WYCHE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Roundup: After franchise tag blowup, Briggs agrees to stay with Bears

ESPN.com news services

Updated: March 2, 2008, 12:16 AM ET

Lance Briggs, who tried for a year to leave the Bears for a huge contract, agreed Saturday night to a six-year, $36 million deal to stay with Chicago.
The Bears franchised him a year ago, and Briggs wasn't happy about it. At one point, he pushed for a trade to the Washington Redskins that fell through and didn't happen right before the draft.
"I'm extremely happy about it,"' Briggs told the Chicago Tribune. "With Bernard [Berrian] signing with the Vikings, I think it gave me the opportunity to come home. I'm happy to return to the team that I started my career with."
In order to gain a chance at the free-agent market, Briggs worked out a deal with the franchise tag that gave him the chance to earn complete free agency if he hit a certain percentage of playing time. He won that freedom but couldn't come up with a deal from another team in the first two days of free agency.

The Vikings landed Bears wide receiver Bernard Berrian by reaching a six-year agreement Saturday. The Raiders were trying to get him to make a visit, but Berrian stayed in Minnesota a little longer to get a deal.
It was pretty well tipped off to Vikings reporters that Berrian might agree. On Saturday morning, former Bengals safety Madieu Williams held a news conference after signing a six-year, $33 million deal. Before the news conference started, Berrian popped in to say hello, wearing a Vikings cap.
Financial terms of Berrian's six-year deal weren't available.

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis continued to stress the importance of keeping the team's own players by reaching a contract agreement Saturday with wide receiver Devery Henderson.
The Saints announced the signing, but terms of the deal were not available. Henderson is one of the fastest receivers in football, but he has had difficulty catching the ball at times.
In four seasons with New Orleans, he never has caught more than 32 passes. His best season for yardage was 2006, when he caught 32 passes for 746 yards. Last year, his numbers dropped to 20 catches for 409 yards.
Still, he has the potential for big plays. The former second-round choice has averaged more than 20 yards a reception for the past two years. His career receiving average is 20.2 yards a catch.
The Saints terminated the contract of linebacker Brian Simmons, saving the team $2.4 million of cap room.
-- John Clayton, ESPN.com

The Carolina Panthers added a key role player for their defense Saturday by reaching a two-year, $4 million deal for Browns cornerback Ricardo Colclough.
Colclough is a former second-round choice from the Steelers who went to Cleveland after being cut this past fall. He can help as a third cornerback and also can be a help on special teams.
The Panthers have been busy re-signing players this week. They re-signed fullback Brad Hoover and cornerback Dante Wesley on the eve of free agency. After trading Kris Jenkins to the Jets, the Panthers are looking to add players to the roster, and Colclough is the first of what could be several additions.

The Eagles have signed free-agent defensive end Chris Clemons to a five-year contract. ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports that the deal is worth $18.5 million.
ESPN.com reported Friday that Philadelphia and Clemons, who had eight sacks in a reserve role with Oakland last season, had reached an agreement. The move came one day after the Eagles lured cornerback Asante Samuel away from New England with a six-year deal worth $57 million.
Clemons, who is 26, began his career with Washington in 2003 as an undrafted rookie from Georgia. He had five sacks in 20 games with the Redskins in 2004-05, but didn't play in 2006.
An outside linebacker in the Raiders' 3-4 defense, Clemens was on the field for just 37 percent of the team's defensive plays but still tied Derrick Burgess for the team lead in sacks.
-- The Associated Press and Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com

The Jacksonville Jaguars, who took steps to upgrade their offense Friday, turned their attention to the defensive side Saturday, signing unrestricted free agent cornerback Drayton Florence.
The five-year veteran had spent his entire NFL career with the San Diego Chargers, appearing in 74 games, including 43 starts.
Florence, 27, was regarded by many as the second-best cornerback in the unrestricted free agent pool, after only former New England standout Asante Samuel, who signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday.
Although contract details were not yet available, it's expected that Florence has landed a deal that includes guaranteed money in excess of $10 million.
Florence likely will become the nickel cornerback in Jacksonville, assuming the role that previously was held by veteran Terry Cousin behind starters Rashean Mathis and Brian Williams. It is a key role, particularly given that the Jags face Indianapolis twice yearly and that the Colts' offense dictates so much nickel coverage.
For his career, Florence has 238 tackles, 10 interceptions and 47 passes defensed. The former Tuskegee star, a second-round choice in the 2003 draft, averaged 13.6 starts over his final three seasons with the Chargers. His ability to support well against the run is evidenced by the fact Florence averaged 60.3 tackles the past three seasons.

The Denver Broncos on Saturday added depth at wide receiver, signing unrestricted free agent Keary Colbert to a two-year, $2.4 million contract.
Colbert, 25, had spent his entire four-year career with the Carolina Panthers, starting in 42 of his 55 appearances. A second-round choice in the 2004 draft, Colbert caught 47 passes for 754 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie when pressed into the lineup because of injuries.
But the former Southern California standout never again approached those rookie numbers, in part because of injuries. In fact, in 2006, Colbert posted only five catches. He finished his stint in Carolina with 109 receptions for 1,424 yards and seven touchdowns, but the Denver coaches believe he can regain his earlier form and be an effective No. 3 wide receiver.
-- Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com

The Falcons' first move in the post-Bobby Petrino administration was to reach out to the Jets and land free safety Erik Coleman.
Coleman agreed to a four-year, $10 million contract that had slightly less than $3 million in guarantees. A fifth-round pick by the Jets in 2004, Coleman was a full-time starter for his first three seasons but started only four games last year under Eric Mangini.
Despite getting only those four starts, Coleman played close to a third of the Jets' defensive snaps in 2007. He was brought in to start ahead of Jimmy Williams, a converted safety, and to replace Chris Crocker, who is an unrestricted free agent for the Falcons.
After signing Coleman, Atlanta signed versatile cornerback Von Hutchins to be a third cornerback and a role player in the secondary.
Hutchins signed a four-year, $9 million deal that had $2.35 million in guarantees. He was a sixth-round pick by the Colts in 2004 and played two seasons in Indianapolis. He came to the Texans in 2006 and played two seasons. Hutchins started 15 games last season at cornerback and had a career-high 94 tackles.

The Buffalo Bills acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud in a trade with Jacksonville.
The deal was announced by the Bills at a press conference on Saturday.
It was not immediately clear what the Bills gave up in exchange for Stroud, a seven-year veteran who had the Jaguars' permission to seek a trade.
The move was completed after the Bills began revamping their porous defense on Friday, the first day of NFL free agency. Buffalo signed linebacker Kawika Mitchell and released veteran defensive tackle Larry Tripplett.
In another move Saturday, the Bills signed former Minnesota defensive tackle Spencer Johnson to a five-year contract.
-- The Associated Press

Former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jacques Reeves signed with the Houston Texans on Saturday.
Reeves, an unrestricted free agent, spent his first four seasons with the Cowboys where he became a starter last season. He had 60 tackles and an interception in 13 starts last season for Dallas.
The Texans are in need of help in the secondary with top cornerback Dunta Robinson likely to miss the early part of the season recovering from a severe knee and hamstring injury.
Reeves was a seventh-round pick in 2004 out of Purdue.
-- The Associated Press

The Dolphins added their seventh unrestricted free agent Saturday when they announced the signing of Texans linebacker Charlie Anderson.
Anderson is expected to help out at strongside linebacker.
-- John Clayton, ESPN.com

Free-agent tight end John Gilmore and defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday.
Gilmore, who entered the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2002, played the past six seasons with the Chicago Bears. He has appeared in 86 regular-season games, starting 10, and has 21 receptions for 194 yards and three touchdowns.
Wilkerson, who entered the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick by the Chiefs in 2003, played the past five seasons with the Chiefs. He has 97 career tackles, one sack, six passes defensed, one fumble recovery and 41 special teams tackles.

Former Chargers rusher gets six-year deal

By STEVE WYCHE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 03/02/08 The Falcons agreed to terms on a six-year deal with San Diego free-agent running back Michael Turner Sunday, landing the player they desperately sought to bolster their running game.
Amid the tempered elation of securing the bruising tailback with game-breaking speed, comes the probable release of veteran tailback Warrick Dunn. Dunn has been one of the Falcons most notable and popular players for the past six seasons.
