Teams with plenty of money to spend -- such as the 49ers ($42 million), Titans ($36 million) and Jaguars ($31 million) -- are likely to get involved in the bidding for Donte Stallworth. That will drive up the price tag and likely push the Eagles, with approximately $12.5 million available for draft picks and free agents, out of the running.

The Packers have a little more than a week to get Ahman Green signed if they want to prevent him from becoming an unrestricted free agent. Green seems interested in testing the market to see how much he's really worth even though his preference appears to be to remain with the Packers.
-- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Many said David Carr couldn't handle the pressure of having a legitimate threat backing him up, so that eliminated Vince Young from the Texans' draft consideration a year ago.
-- Houston Chronicle
Trade rumors regarding David Carr are picking up. The Vikings apparently are in the mix, as are the Broncos, and perhaps the Jaguars and Panthers.
-- Houston Chronicle
Ron Rivera left on good terms with Bears President Ted Phillips and the McCaskey family and could be a viable candidate for the Bears' head-coaching job if Lovie Smith leaves -- particularly if the Chargers reach the Super Bowl.
-- Chicago Tribune
The Falcons do not want to lose Matt Schaub and plan to place a one-year contract tender on him, possibly in excess of $2 million, as well as a compensation attachment of a first and/or third-round draft pick. The high ransom could discourage some teams, however, a straight trade for a draft pick or a player should not be ruled out.
