- Rocky McIntosh willing to make inside move in 3-4 Redskins Insider | Washington Post Washington did not pursue Karlos Dansby, and Larry Foote left without a contract after visiting the complex this week, so it would seem the team still has a big hole to fill at linebacker opposite London Fletcher. The Redskins appear to need another starting middle linebacker because they are in the process of transitioning from a base 4-3 defense to a 3-4 alignment. But there is an in-house answer, Rocky McIntosh said. "I can play inside," McIntosh said in a phone interview the other day. "I've played inside before. It's no big deal. I can play anywhere.

- Derrick Mason brought back in Baltimore FFToolbox.com Suddenly, the AFC is the division of wide receiver duos. The Baltimore Ravens re-signed wideout Derrick Mason on Wednesday to a two-year, $8 million contract. Mason spent the past five seasons with the Ravens, never missing a game and representing the team's most trustworthy targets. Mason had wanted to play again for Baltimore all along, but said that he would only return to the game if he got a two-year deal. That's exactly what happened. Mason, 36, is a fossil compared to other solid wide receivers, but he is coming off his eighth 1,000-yard season, including his third in a row. He will te...
- Harris: Bryant gets slight bump after joining Bengals ESPN Christopher Harris looks at the fantasy implications of Antonio Bryant signing with the Cincinnati Bengals.
- Bengals sign Antonio Bryant FFToolbox.com The Cincinnati Bengals have a legit No. 2 wide receiver. Or maybe more like a second No. 1. The team signed former Tampa Bay wide receiver Antonio Bryant to a four-year, $28 million deal on Wednesday. With incentives, Bryant could earn as much as $29 million. Bryant had a breakout season in 2008 with more than 1,200 receiving yards, 83 catches and seven touchdowns. Lingering pain from offseason knee surgery and a rookie quarterback dragged down his 2009 numbers, but he was still seen as the top unrestricted free agent wideout this year. Miami and Washington were also rumored to be vying for Br...
