Monday Night Headlines
Jets re-sign WR Braylon Edwards
The New York Jets inked wide receiver Braylon Edwards to a one year deal on Monday. Edwards caught 35 passes, including four for scores in 11 starts in 2009 for the Jets. With a full off-season of work with quarterback Mark Sanchez, expectations for 2010 will be much greater.
Washington missing from Workouts
With the signing of veteran running back LaDanian Tomlinson, there has been some talk of the possibility of the Jets trading running back Leon Washington. A restricted free agent, Washington has yet to sign his one year tender of S1.7 million and was absent from the team's voluntary offseason workout program. While there has yet to be any heated talk of trade, with Washington apparently unhappy with his contract status don't be surprised if that changes soon.
Could T.O. be landing soon?
The 36 year old free agent wide receiver left Cincinnati without a deal, but according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus, there are three teams interested and a landing spot could be found soon. No teams have been linked, but the Raiders have been rumored to have interest. If Oakland is not in the T.O. sweepstakes, then based on need, it could make sense that Chicago, Carolina, and even San Francisco could turn out to be the interested candidates.
Weekend Wire....
The Dolphins re-signed 3rd year wide receiver Davone Bess to a one year deal. Bess caught a team high 76 passes in 2009, but only found the end-zone twice. He only started two games, but is expected to move into a starting role in 2010.
The Cardinals signed unrestricted free agent linebacker Joey Porter on Friday to a three year deal reportedly worth $17.5 million. The veteran linebacker is entering his 12th season in the league and looks to help bolster the Cards pass rush with his 92 career sacks (including nine in 2009).
The Lions signed linebacker Landon Johnson to a one year deal this past weekend. Johnson spent his first four seasons (2004-2007) with the Bengals averaging nearly 100 total tackles per season. Following the 2007 season Johnson spent two seasons with the Panthers starting only three games and missing seven games.
