NFL Free Agent Frenzy (Day 1)


REDSKINS
- So here we go...as reported in this very space a couple days ago, Albert Haynesworth has landed in Washington.
-Remaining with the team is Cornerback D'Angelo Hall.

RAVENS
-Bart Scott has been offered a boat-load of money to come to the Jets, but Scott is giving the Ravens a chance to match that offer.
-To bolster their defensive backfield, the Ravens have signed CB Dominique Foxxworth.
-And it seems like as though talks are breaking down with the Ravens and Ray Lewis. Hopefully that works itself out. There have been various reports on Ray's stance. Some have said that if the Ravens sign Bart Scott, there's no way they're able to sign Ray. Some have said that Ray was upset that Bart was visiting with the Jets. Others have said that the Ravens were desperate to sign Ray back. Who knows what's gonna happen?!

BUCCANEERS
- Tight End Kellen Winslow has been traded from Cleveland to Tampa Bay for undisclosed draft picks.
CHIEFS
- The Chiefs have acquired LB Mike Vrabel from the Pats via trade.

49ERS
- If there was any question as to what type of offense the 49ers will run next year, the first signing in the free agent market was FB Moran Norris. So regardless of who's the QB in Frisco next year, the offense will be 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Let's hope that works out.
BRONCOS
- Like they did with veteran safety John Lynch before, the Broncos have bolstered their defensive backfield with veteran talent and leadership by signing former Eagle Brian Dawkins.
- The Broncos just added another safety. Former Dolphin Renaldo Hill.
- They're also bolstering their wide receiving corp, reuniting with Head Coach Josh McDaniels is former Pats receiver Jabbar Gaffney.
TEXANS
- Houston has agreed to terms with tight end Joel Dreessen.

BENGALS
- I thought the feeding frenzy would be crazy for WR TJ Houshmandzadeh's services. But as it turns out, there's not. His top 4 teams right now are Seattle, Minnesota, Philly, and the NY Giants.
- Free agent Safety Chris Crocker has re-signed with the Bengals.
VIKINGS
- In the WHAT ARE THEY THINKING category, the Vikings have brought in QB Sage Rosenfels.
- I'm sure Sage will just be glad to play for someone, but it won't be easy, even with just turning around handing it off to AP. Long time Center Matt Birk is a free agent and has decided to explore his options.

PATRIOTS
- RB Fred Taylor found a new home in New England.
- And the Pats added former Jet TE Chris Baker to the fold too.
- Also, if you needed any more indication that the Pats are gonna take Ohio St. LB James Laurinaitis, here's even more: LB Mike Vrabel is currently in Kansas City taking a physical. If he passes it, he'll be traded to the Chiefs.
- UPDATE: Vrabel confirmed...traded to the Chiefs.

BEARS
- The Chicago Bears planned to make offensive line a priority this offseason, and have landed their first lineman. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the team has signed former Panthers tackle Frank Omiyale to a four-year deal.
STEELERS
- According to ESPN.com, the Steelers re-signed OG Chris Kemoeatu to a five-year deal worth $20 million.
- WR Nate Washington is currently in Detroit visiting the Lions and many insiders say that they'd be surprised if he left there without signing a contract.
TITANS
- The Titans have announced that CB Vincent Fuller has signed a contract to remain with the team.
- The Titans and QB Kerry Collins are close on a deal. UPDATE: It's a done deal. Kerry signed with the Titans through 2 more years.
SAINTS
- Jonathan Vilma will remain with the Saints.

Keep checking back for updates.
