– A year after saying he’d played his last down in Chicago, LB Lance Briggs re-upped with Da Bears for six-years and $36 million.
– After giving up their first rounder last year for QB Brady Quinn and their second rounder just a day ago for DL Corey Williams, Cleveland parted with its third round pick (and CB Leigh Bodden) for DT Shaun Rogers, formerly of Detroit. Rogers is a fantastic player, but he’s also been hammered about his work ethic.
– The Browns also reached an agreement with WR Donte Stallworth. Even though he’s a major injury risk, Stallworth adds another weapon to a Cleveland arsenal that already features Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow Jr.
– The Vikings added WR Benard Berrian (Bears). Berrian has always been an intriguing player and one that could blow up at any time. I don’t know if he’s worth $42 million, but that’s the way the market is right now.
– The Bills landed DT Marcus Stroud (Jaguars) for a third and fifth round pick. Stroud will give the Bills’ run defense a definite boost.
– The Dolphins and DE Jason Taylor have decided to part ways. Miami will now seek a trade for the 33-year-old end.
– The Jets agreed to terms with G Alan Faneca, inking him to a five-year, $40 million contract.
