Put news of signings, cuts, etc. here to be discussed.

Maybe a mod will sticky this - I'll do my best to keep it updated.

Nate Burleson - Detroit - 5 years/$25M/$11M

Gary Brackett - Indianapolis - 5 years/$33M/$12M

Bucs sign safety Sean Jones.
http://www.rotoworld.com/content/pla...rt=NFL&id=2798
"adio station 620 WDAE in Tampa is reporting the Bucs have signed S Sean Jones.
We're awaiting confirmation. Jones was known to have been negotiating with the Bucs, so the news doesn't come as a surprise. Though he also visited the Titans, Jones has a better chance to start in Tampa, where he'd be favored to knock off Sabby Piscitelli for the starting strong safety job."

A sign that the Bucs will go in a direction other than Berry with their #3 pick?

After signing RB LaDainian Tomlinson, Jets reached agreement with free-agent FB Tony Richardson, a good move on and off the field.

Dwan Edwards signs with the Bills

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 16, 2010 7:30 PM ET
Just hours after Dwan Edwards said that free agency has been difficult, the defensive lineman has taken himself off the market.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Edwards agreed to an undisclosed contract with the Buffalo Bills. Edwards, who should mostly play defensive end in the team's new 3-4 defense, also visited the Broncos and Seahawks.

Edwards told the Baltimore Sun Tuesday that some teams had expressed reservations about the neck he surgically repaired in 2008. It's a high-risk, high-reward signing for Buffalo. (We had Edwards in our top ten free agents a few weeks back.)

ESPN News just reported the Eagles have signed RB Mike Bell to a 1 year offer sheet.

Redskins add Rex Grossman

Posted by Michael David Smith on March 17, 2010 9:59 AM ET
Mike Shanahan has acquired a new quarterback, albeit one who appeared in just one NFL game in 2009.

The Redskins reached an agreement this morning with former Bears and Texans quarterback Rex Grossman on a one-year deal. Adam Schefter of ESPN was the first to report the deal today.

PFT's Mike Florio reported on March 5 that the Redskins were interested in Grossman, and a league source told PFT that the contract is for the league minimum salary, plus incentives.

Grossman and new Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan were together in Houston last year. Grossman played in one game with the Texans, completing three of nine passes for 33 yards and an interception in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He played for the Bears from 2003 to 2008.

The Redskins were also reportedly interested in former Broncos quarterback Chris Simms.

Sean Jones' deal with the Bucs is for two years, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Jones' arrival likely means the Bucs will pass on Tennessee's Eric Berry at No. 3 overall, but it shouldn't stop them from addressing safety later in the draft. Jones is a hard hitter and excels in the box but struggled badly in coverage lat season.

Report: Anderson appears headed for Cardinals

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 17, 2010 12:02 PM ET
The following tweet comes from Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official team website:

"QB Derek Anderson reportedly agrees with Cards."

We're not entirely sure if Urban is reporting the news himself or if someone else is, so we'll hold off saying this one is official just yet.

The move would make a lot of sense, though. The Cardinals don't want to risk losing Anderson and Charlie Whitehurst. There has been speculation that Seattle's acquisition of an extra draft pick Tuesday in exchange for Darryl Tapp will be used to get Whitehurst.

The Cardinals want a viable option at quarterback in case Matt Leinart doesn't pan out. Anderson's track record is spotty, but he does fit a vertical offense like Arizona's attack best. We wouldn't be shocked if Anderson beat him out for the job.

UPDATE: Sports 620 KTAR reporter Paul Calvisi reports the Cardinals will announce Anderson's signing Wednesday.

UPDATE II: NFL Network's Jason La Canfora confirms that Anderson has agreed to terms.
