Late Free Agency Stages

Stage 1
Tai Streets, WR signed a 2 year deal, $1.1 million with Houston from San Francisco. Streets was injured most of last year, playing in just one game. He caught 56 passes the season before.


Stage 2
No multi-year deals


Stage 3
Adam Meadows, T, signed a 2 year, $2.09 million with New England from Denver. Meadows will compete for time on a roster that has 6 offensive tackles. Meadows had a solid season with Denver last season, allowing just two sacks. Meadows was the leagues strongest man in 2004.

John Browning, DT, signed a 3 year, $2.08 million deal with San Diego from Jacksonville. Browning is expected to start this season at Left Defensive Tackle. Browning started 5 games for Jacksonville last season.

Mark Word, DE signed a 2 year, $1.35 million deal with St Louis from Jacksonville. The journeyman, Word will provide depth for the Rams.


Stage 4
Justin Griffith, FB, signed with Indianapolis for 2 years, $800,000. Griffith started 12 games last season for the Falcons.

Kenny Smith, DT, signed with Denver from New Orleans for 3 years, $1.7 million. Smith started every game over the past two seasons and is coming off a career high, 7 sack season.


Stage 5
Doug Brien, K, resigned with the Jets for 1 year, $900,000. Brien has struggled at times for the Jets the past two seasons, connecting on just 67% of his field goals.

Earl Holmes, ILB, signed with Pittsburgh for 3 years, $2.32 million. Holmes will probably get the start this season over their 1st round pick Channing Chowder. Holmes recorded 91 solo tackles for the Lions last season. Holmes was drafted by the Steelers in 1999.


Stage 6
Jamie Winborn, OLB, signed with St. Louis from Washington for 3 years, $1.53 million. Winborn will get a shot to start at the weak-side spot.

Jimmy Williams, CB, signed with Philadelphia for 3 years, $1.65 million. Williams will probably get the start opposite Bobby Taylor this season. Philadelphia came up short on many occasions, signing a cornerback this off-season.


Stage 7
Josh Reed, WR, signed with Cleveland from Buffalo for 3 years, $1.57 million. Cleveland hopes they found their starting split end. Reed started just one game over the past two seasons, however, he still managed to catch 61 passes.

Josh Bidwell, P, signed with San Francisco from Arizona for 3 years, $1.87 million. San Francisco brings in the veteran to compete with 5th round draft selection, Tom Malone.


Stage 8
Bennie Anderson, G, signed with Green Bay from Baltimore for 2 years, $1.48 million. Anderson is a powerful blocker who can struggle in pass blocking.

Training Camp to come...Any valuable players who have not been signed will look to sign minimal one year deals with clubs to hopefully increase their value for next season. Some good players that are still out there include:

Idrees Bashir, S, (77 current, 77 potential)
Shaun Ellis, DE, (66, 66)
Todd McClure, C, (62, 62)
Kenroy Kennedy, SS, (56, 60)
Tim Ruddy, C, (54, 55)
Shawn Bryson, RB (53, 57)
Cameron Cleeland, TE, (53, 53)
Keith Bullock, LB, (52, 55)
John Tait, RT, (49, 49)
