Trade was actually a 4th and 6th for Tebow and a 7th. Jets leapfrogged the Rams offer.

Still think that is just a terrible move for them.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis - RB - Bengals Bengals agreed to terms with RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis on a three-year contract.
The 27-year-old Green-Ellis has been a system back in New England, preying on defenses that refused to leave seven defenders "in the box" against Tom Brady & Co. He's still a fine complement to shiftier Bernard Scott in Cincinnati, with elite ball security and vision, and underrated pass-blocking skills. Green-Ellis is unlikely to keep pace with his 24 touchdowns over the past two seasons, but he certainly could push for eight or nine scores as the heavy favorite for goal-line work with the Bengals. The team may also add another early-round back in the draft to create a three-way committee. Regardless, Green-Ellis should only be a middle-round consideration in 2012 fantasy drafts.

Law has a new firm. Benson is still out on the streets, where his sorry ass belongs.

Samson Satele - C - Colts

According to the Associated Press, Colts C Samson Satele's new three-year contract is worth $10.8 million with $5 million guaranteed.
For a player arrested on disorderly conduct charges just days ago, Satele made out pretty well. GM Ryan Grigson made it clear Wednesday that Satele was "the man they wanted to anchor their new line," per the AP. A 27-year-old with 74 career starts, Satele replaces longtime C Jeff Saturday in Indianapolis.

Patrick Lee - DB - Raiders

Raiders agreed to terms with CB Patrick Lee, formerly of the Packers, on a one-year contract.
The 28-year-old is a failed former second-round pick out of Auburn, but he did rack up nine special teams tackles in Green Bay last year. Familiar with new GM Reggie McKenzie, Lee will compete for a spot in sub-packages with Oakland.

Mark Anderson - DL - Bills

Bills signed DE Mark Anderson to a four-year, $27.5 million contract, with $8 million guaranteed.
Look for Buffalo to release DL Dwan Edwards in the coming days. Anderson is a one-trick pony pass rusher, but he will add explosiveness off the edge in Buffalo's nickel package. The 29-year-old racked up 12.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in New England last season, including 2.5 playoff sacks. With Mario Williams set to play left end, Anderson figures to be the Bills' primary right defensive end, rushing off the weak side. With stud tackles Marcel Dareus and Kyle Williams plugging the interior, you can make a good argument that Buffalo now has a top-five defensive line in terms of sheer talent.

There goes Sick's boy:

Brodrick Bunkley - DL - Saints

Saints signed DT Brodrick Bunkley to a five-year, $25 million contract with $9 million guaranteed.
With GM Mickey Loomis' suspension not yet implemented, it's business as usual in the Saints' front office as the team stays the course amid bounty scandal discipline. The Broncos were making a "hard" push to re-sign Bunkley as of Tuesday, but the Saints apparently beat Denver's offer. Bunkley has only six sacks in six seasons, but he is an effective one-gap, 4-3 nose tackle. He projects as an upgrade on outgoing Shaun Rogers and Aubrayo Franklin.

Khalif Barnes - T - Raiders

Raiders re-signed OT Khalif Barnes.
Jacksonville's former longtime left tackle started all 16 games on the right side in Oakland last year. The 30-year-old graded out poorly as both a run and pass blocker by Pro Football Focus, however. Barnes will face competition for the job in training camp, but Oakland's new zone-blocking scheme may help him.

Will Allen - DB - Patriots

Patriots signed CB Will Allen to a one-year contract.
The Pats also showed interest in Allen last September before he re-signed in Miami. The former Giants first-rounder ended up playing nearly 60 percent of the snaps with the Dolphins last season, recording 43 tackles. Turning 34 in August, Allen won't be guaranteed a roster spot in New England.

Bryan Scott - DB - Bills

Bills re-signed S Bryan Scott.
A hybrid at 6'1/219, Scott is a rotational safety moving to linebacker on nickel downs. He recorded 66 tackles, one sack and two interceptions in 2011. Scott will be charged with hanging with Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, and Dustin Keller as long as he hangs onto his roster spot through August.

Wes Lyons - TE - Steelers

Steelers re-signed TE Wes Lyons.
Lyons was in Steelers camp last year. The Pennsylvania native never lived up to expectations at West Virginia, where it was thought his 6'8" frame would allow him to become a red-zone threat of Chris Henry proportions. He's a long shot to make the Steelers' roster this summer.

Will Johnson - RB - Steelers

Steelers signed FB Will Johnson.
After using up his college eligibility in 2011, Johnson worked three jobs for the opportunity to impress scouts at West Virginia's Pro Day last week. The Steelers came away impressed after he blazed a 4.40 forty at 6'2/240 while leading all volunteers with 30 reps on the bench press.

Scout.com: Geoff Schwartz Profile

Carolina Panthers free agent offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz has agreed to a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings, according to a league source.

He also visited the San Francisco 49ers and was pursued by the Detroit Lions.

Schwartz became an unrestricted free agent when the Panthers didn't give him a restricted free agent tender offer.

The Vikings cut former Pro Bowl offensive guard Steve Hutchinson before free agent, and he has now joined the Tennessee Titans.

He missed all of last season with a hip injury, but is healthy now.

The 6-foot-6, 331-pounder from the University of Oregon is a former Panthers seventh-round draft pick who started every game two seasons ago.

He has played right tackle and right guard.

Schwartz, 25, has played in 32 career games with 19 starts.
