The Broncos also are expected to pursue former Pittsburgh running back Rashard Mendenhall in free agency, along with a right cornerback (there is interest in Philadelphia's Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie), offensive guard and defensive tackle (possibly Jacksonville's Terrance Knighton).

I wonder if we're in it for him? I'd be somewhat surprised if we weren't, depending on the numbers he's hearing.

Mohamed Massaquoi - WR - Browns

The Jets have shown interest in free agent Mohamed Massaquoi.

26-year-old Massaquoi has been playing soft on the field for years, in the rare instances he's seen it. He's one of the league's more injury-prone receivers. To Massaquoi's credit, he does run a tick faster than Chaz Schilens.

Adam Schefter:

Texans released WR Kevin Walter, per league source.

Enter DeAndre Hopkins. Argh!

Nathan Jahnke:

PIT release Willie Colon. Was one of our best RTs in 08 and 09, missed nearly all of 10 and 11, then RG in 12. Was good but too many flags

Jason La Canfora:

Steelers plan to sign WR Plaxico Burress to a 1yr, vet min deal in the coming days, according to league source.

Man, seems unlikely he'll not get PAID.

@RapSheet: Suitors for safety Laron Landry: #49ers, #Cardinals, and #Bucs. Interesting Bucs in the mix for a safety again. Could be in Goldson mix

 

[ChrisPozz]

Aaron Wilson:

Hearing four to five teams in mix for former Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams. Could heat up for him in thin linebacker market

 

[Smalls]

Landry isn't the FS type I pictured us replacing Goldson with, should he leave. Maybe the coaches just prefer enforcers at the safety position? I'm surprised, if that's true.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Jason La Canfora:

In LB news - the Cardinals are strong favorites to sign Larry Foote from Pittsburgh, while Dan Connor likely to visit Steelers this week

Aditi Kinkhabwala:

On another front for Steelers fans... hearing that PIT IS trying to keep LB Larry Foote

I'm concerned to say the least. Landry instead of Whitner makes sense but Landry at FS makes me want to gag.

That is my thought process our FO is to smart to have two safeties with no cover skills playing together right?
