John Abraham - DL - Jets


Talks appear "serious" between the Seahawks and Jets after John Abraham's visit to Seattle.It's hard to know what to believe concerning Abraham.

Terrell Owens - WR - Eagles

Antonio Chatman - WR - Packers


Antonio Chatman will meet with the Bengals Friday.The former Packer's arrival could mean the Bengals won't match the offer sheet Kevin Walter signed with Houston. Chatman would likely be the team's No. 4 receiver and help on return units. Mar. 16 - 8:34 am etSource: Cincinnati Enquirer


Michael Bennett - RB - Vikings


Michael Bennett visited the Saints Wednesday.They are looking for a backup to Deuce McAllister. It was Bennett's first visit, who has to be finding free agency disappointing. He said he's spoken to the Colts, Dolphins, and Panthers previously. Mar. 16 - 8:32 am etSource: St. Paul Pioneer Press


Craig Nall - QB - Packers


Craig Nall will visit with the Bills Wednesday.It's a strange fit with Kelly Holcomb and J.P. Losman already in place. Nall also visited the Vikings, but said he may as well stay in Green Bay if he's going to be a No. 3 quarterback. Mar. 16 - 8:29 am etSource: St. Paul Pioneer Press


Josh McCown - QB - Cardinals

Chris Hope - DB - Titans


Chris Hope's contract with the Titans averages $5 million a season and includes $10 million in guarantees.Yikes. We thought Adam Archuleta's contract was bad, but this one may be worse.

Jabar Gaffney - WR - Eagles


Jabar Gaffney agreed to a one-year contract with the Eagles.Gaffney caught 55 passes in 2005 and was an underrated third-down threat for the Texans.

Rod Gardner - WR - Packers
