Tollner says that several teams are interested, and that a deal isn’t expected to be reached before the end of the weekend.

Finally, receiver Isaac Bruce could be heading to San Fran, where he’d be reunited with former Rams coach Mike Martz, who’s now the offensive coordinator of the Niners.

Not sure on Foster, maybe IF jhe can stay healthy, but I doubt it.
Can't say much about Thomas nor the QB.

I don't care if the can bring in Bruce for cheap, but I don't want them to overspend.

I'm thinking Niners might play more 4-3 if they get Justin Smith and Briggs... who knows though.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson wasn't a free agent for long.

Anderson has agreed to a multiyear contract to stay with the Browns, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been completed.

General manager Phil Savage believed if Anderson had gotten an offer from another team, the Browns probably wouldn't have been able to keep him.

The team had been negotiating a three-year, $20 million deal for Anderson.

The 24-year-old signed with Cleveland just hours after he became a restricted free agent.

Adding Boley to his already outstanding defense would make a very good group much better. Why would we be we lose Mitchell? He just signed a 4 year deal with us just last year.

Mitchell only signed a one year deal last year. I think it was only for $1 million for the year. Needless to say he'll be looking for a lot more.

I wonder what the Saints are offerring to get Shockey. I think Shockey have the attitude that fits the Raiders, that's if they needed a TE.
