The Bills will clear about $5 million worth of salary cap room with DE Chris Kelsay’s retirement.

The Dolphins have let some local products slip under their noses in past years, and FIU’s John Cyprien could be next.

The Patriots are hoping the Alex Smith trade sets the bar and someone makes them an offer for QB Ryan Mallett.

Jets S LaRon Landry wouldn’t mind staying, but his price is likely too high for the Jets.

Ravens C Gino Gradkowski is ready to take over for the retiring Matt Birk.

A look at the Bengals free agents at TE, WR and the line.

Free agent WR Steve Breaston visited the Browns yesterday and took a physical.

But Breaston’s also visiting the Steelers today, and they’re considered the favorite.

The Bills official website throws a little shade on the Texans’ talk about drafting a quarterback.

Colts P Pat McAfee could end up with a franchise tag.

New Jaguars running backs coach Terry Richardson compared his job to when he was on staff at UConn during the transition from I-AA to Division I.

The Titans might draft a kicker if Rob Bironas gets away in free agency.

The Broncos are going to give Nate Irving and Steven Johnson a chance at MLB.

You’ll pardon Chiefs fans for not throwing a party over a new QB just quite yet.

After his fast 40 times at the Combine, many are already sending Texas WR Marquise Goodwin to the Raiders.

After the Combine, it looks more likely that the Chargers will be looking for line help.

Getting some cap relief from OLB DeMarcus Ware was the first of many deals the Cowboys are going to have to re-do.

Though they think he’s an “ascending” player, there are still reasonable concerns about Giants LT Will Beatty’s back.

The Alex Smith trade means the Eagles are probably stuck with/get to enjoy QB Nick Foles for another year.

Redskins WR Josh Morgan is recovering from three surgeries (all presumably successful).

Bears LT J’Marcus Webb apologized on Twitter for the drug charges which were dropped yesterday.

The Lions have created around $8 million worth of cap room, and are working to create more.

Reinstated DT Johnny Jolly is technically a restricted free agent, meaning the Packers still have the first chance to keep him if they want him.

Minnesotans apparently aren’t gambling nearly enough to meet projections for the new stadium.

For all the planning the Falcons have done on a new stadium, they haven’t decided if they want natural grass or artificial.

Panthers WR Steve Smith said he thought his team should draft defensive line help.

In addition to Marques Colston, the Saints also restructured the deals of Jahri Evans, Ben Grubbs and David Hawthorne to create cap room.

The Buccaneers have built a coaching staff 24-deep, most of them having worked for Greg Schiano in the past.

The Cardinals are still looking for answers at QB, though they weren’t as interested in Alex Smith at the price the Chiefs paid.

The Rams are paying close attention to the TE class in this year’s draft.

Alex Smith isn’t the first 49ers QB to go to Kansas City, but is he more Joe Montana, Elvis Grbac or Steve Bono?

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll went straight from the Combine to the state capital of Washington, to advocate for a youth program.
