Receiver Horn refuses pay cut, Saints release himAssociated Press
NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints released four-time Pro Bowl receiver Joe Horn on Thursday, saying Horn asked to be let go after the Saints asked him to take a pay cut.

"Joe really wanted to see where his value is around the league for his services," general manager Mickey Loomis said. "With as much as Joe has meant to the Saints and to New Orleans, we don't want to impede his desire to do so, and we have kept the door open for him to return to our team."
Horn, who was the most frequent spokesman for the players during their Katrina-enforced exile during the 2005 season, had caught 523 passes for 7,622 yards and scored a team-record 50 touchdowns since coming to New Orleans as a free agent in 2000. He ranks second in club history in catches and yardage, and he is the team's all-time leader in 100-yard receiving games with 27.
"Right now it's going around that (the Saints) wanted to restructure my contract and I asked to be released, but this has nothing to do with money," Horn said told The Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer. "I wanted to retire as a Saint. I've been through and back for that city and that organization. If I wanted out of New Orleans that bad, I would have just kept my mouth shut and let them move the team to San Antonio.
"I just don't think [coach] Sean Payton wanted me back. I asked to be released because I felt betrayed by a head coach who wanted to prove he could win without Joe Horn."
Horn, who turned 35 in January, missed the Saints' last four regular season games in 2006 and both playoff games because of a groin injury.
He had 37 catches for 679 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season.
In May 2005, Horn signed a six-year extension that would have paid him about $42 million for the life of the contract. Next season, he was to be paid about $4.45 million and receive a $1 million roster bonus later this month.
Horn was by far the Saints' best receiver during his first five seasons with the team. In 2004, he had 1,399 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns.
In 2005, however, a hamstring injury caused his numbers to drop dramatically to 654 yards receiving and one touchdown. It was the first of two injury-plagued seasons the yielded numbers far below what he had put up earlier in the decade.
He still demonstrated flashes of his old self, catching touchdowns of 14 and 48 yards in the Saints dramatic 27-24 victory over Philadelphia on Oct. 15. But while he was injured, other, younger receivers emerged, including surprising rookie Marques Colston (1,038 yards, 8 TDs) and third-year former LSU star Devery Henderson (745 yards, 5 TDs).
Rookie running back Reggie Bush also was used as a receiver, both out of the backfield and lining up in the slot and led the Saints in receptions with 88 for 742 yards and two touchdowns.
The Saints also got solid contributions from third-year receiver Terrance Copper (385 yards, 3 TDs), whose playing time increased with Horn's injury and whom Saints coach Sean Payton liked when the two were with the Dallas Cowboys in 2004 and 2005.
Still, Payton spoke highly of Horn upon the receiver's release from the team.
"Joe's numbers speak for themselves, and throughout his career here he has been everything an NFL player should be in the community," Payton said. "He holds a special place to our fans because of his involvement in the city and his passion on the field. Decisions of this type arent easy, and we understand his desire to see what his value may be with other teams."
Horn was immensely popular among fans in New Orleans, not just because of his play, but also because of his outgoing, down-to-earth demeanor. He visited displaced New Orleans residents in shelters after Katrina. His No. 87 jersey was omnipresent during games in the Louisiana Superdome, and fans hung banners honoring him from upper deck facades around the stadium.
He had his own radio show. And he was a regular at New Orleans Hornets basketball games, sitting a couple rows from the court and often one of the last people out of the stadium because he had taken time to speak with fans who approached him to say o, talk Saints and wish him well for the upcoming season.
When the season ended, Horn said he wanted to remain in New Orleans and believed he could continue to play at a high level, but said from the outset that he did not intend to agree to a pay cut -- at least not without testing the free agent market first.
Horn was not immediately available to comment on his release Thursday evening. Calls to his agent's office, cell phone and home were not immediately returned

Plummer may retire rather than take tradeBy Len Pasquarelli
ESPN.com
In a twist that could scuttle a proposed trade to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, veteran quarterback Jake Plummer told friends and business associates Friday afternoon that he plans to retire from football rather than continue his NFL career in another city.
Plummer
ESPN.com reported Friday morning that the Denver Broncos had reached agreement in principle on most of the elements of a trade that would send Plummer to the Bucs, where he would compete with Chris Simms for the starting job.
But only a few hours later, it appeared Plummer was ready to carry through on retirement suggestions he made earlier in the offseason, when it first became apparent the Broncos were shopping him in trade talks.
A source in the Tampa Bay organization said Friday afternoon the deal to acquire Plummer is "on hold ... at best." The source indicated that there were ongoing discussions aimed at convincing Plummer to accept the trade and play in 2007, but that the veteran passer was prepared to walk away from the game.
Under the terms discussed, the Broncos would have received a middle-round draft choice, believed to be a fourth-rounder, in exchange for Plummer. The trade was expected to be announced on Friday, provided all the major details were completed.
But that was before Plummer, scheduled to earn a base salary of $5.3 million for the 2007 season, wavered.
Tampa Bay re-signed Simms to a two-year contract earlier this offseason. But with Simms coming off a 2006 season in which he underwent an emergency splenectomy, the Bucs have been shopping for a veteran quarterback to bolster the depth chart.
Veteran backup Tim Rattay became an unrestricted free agent on Friday and was not expected to return to Tampa Bay.
Plummer, 32, lost his starting job in Denver to rookie Jay Cutler late last season and the Broncos have been entertaining trade offers in the offseason. A 10-year veteran, Plummer has started 136 games in stints with Arizona (1997-2002) and Denver (2003-2006). He has completed 2,484 of 4,350 passes for 29,253 yards, with 161 touchdown passes and 161 interceptions, for a passer rating of 74.6.

Bledsoe, the first overall pick in the 1993 draft by New England, started 193 games in the NFL, including the first six in 2006 before he was replaced by Tony Romo, who then earned a spot on the NFC Pro Bowl team. Bledsoe was due a $1 million roster bonus Friday and would have made $4.5 million next season.
The Cowboys also released tight end Ryan Hannam and guard E.J. Whitley.
Bledsoe was 3,839-of-6,717 passing for 44,611 yards and 251 touchdowns for the New England Patriots (1993-2001), Buffalo (2002-04) and Dallas (2005-06). He is fifth on the NFL career lists in attempts and completions and seventh in yards.
"I spoke with Drew today and told him that this was primarily a cap decision and that the door was very much open for him being a part of our future," Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. "Drew has been a solid leader for our team and a true professional both on and off the field."
Hannam joined the Cowboys as an unrestricted free agent last spring from Seattle. He saw action in two games, mainly on special teams, before he was placed on injured reserve Oct. 11 with a degenerative condition in his right knee.
Whitley was a seventh-round pick last year, but tore the ACL in his left knee in rookie minicamp and spent the season injured reserve.

Dolphins Release Three Players; Mini-Camp Dates Announced
March 1, 2007
March 1, 2007-The Miami Dolphins today terminated the contracts of offensive linemen Seth McKinney and Bennie Anderson. In addition, the club waived wide receiver Eric Kimble.
The Miami Dolphins will be conducting three minicamps during the 2007 offseason, each of which will be open to the public. The scheduled dates are as follows: April 13-15; May 4-6; June 8-10. All three will be held at the team’s Nova Southeastern University training facility in Davie, and admission is free. Practice times will be announced in the near future, and dates are subject to change.
I fully expect that the Chargers draft a WR in the 1st round.
Leonard Davis, nice. Texas represent!
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots released running back Corey Dillon, re-signed unrestricted free agent running back Heath Evans and re-signed restricted free agent guard Billy Yates today. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
"On behalf of the New England Patriots organization, we respect and appreciate Corey Dillon's significant contributions to our team," said Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick. "Those contributions extend beyond his individual on-field achievements and his integral role in a championship season. They also include three years of veteran leadership and positive relationships throughout the team."
Dillon, 32, spent three seasons with New England (2004-06) and set the franchise's single-season rushing record with 1,635 yards in 2004. He spent the first seven seasons of his career (1997-2003) with the Cincinnati Bengals. He is a veteran of 10 NFL seasons and has rushed the ball 2,618 times for 11,241 career yards and 82 touchdowns. Dillon's career rushing yardage total ranks 14th on the NFL's all-time list. The 6-foot-1-inch, 225-pound running back has played in 150 career regular season games with 133 starts and has also caught 244 passes for 1,913 yards (7.8 avg.) and seven touchdowns.
The Patriots acquired Dillon from the Bengals on April 19, 2004 in exchange for a second-round selection in the 2004 NFL Draft (56th overall - S Madieu Williams). In three seasons in New England, Dillon played in 43 regular-season games with 37 starts and rushed the ball 753 times for 3,180 yards (4.2 avg.) and 37 touchdowns, while catching 52 passes for 431 yards (8.3 avg.) and two touchdowns. Dillon led the Patriots in all major rushing categories in each of his three seasons in New England. His total of 3,180 rushing yards ranks seventh on the Patriots' all-time list, while his 37 rushing touchdowns rank third in team history. In addition to holding the team's single-season rushing record (1,635 yards in 2004), Dillon's 13 rushing touchdowns in 2006 rank third on the franchise's all-time single-season list (Curtis Martin, 14 touchdowns in 1995 and 1996). Dillon scored a total of 39 touchdowns in 43 career regular-season games with the Patriots (37 rushing, two receiving).
Dillon began his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, who drafted him in the second round (46th overall) of the 1997 NFL Draft. In seven seasons with the Bengals, Dillon came to own or share 18 different Bengals records. On Oct. 22, 2000, Dillon gained 287 yards on 22 carries for Cincinnati in a game against the Denver Broncos. His 287 yards set the NFL's single-game rushing record at the time, and the total currently ranks as the second highest single-game total in league history.
Evans, 28, will enter his seventh NFL season in 2007 and was signed by the Patriots as a veteran free agent on Nov. 1, 2005. He has also played for the Seattle Seahawks (2001-04) and Miami Dolphins (2005). The 6-foot, 250-pound running back has appeared in 89 career games with seven starts and has recorded 112 career rushes for 417 yards and has caught 33 career passes for 226 yards and a touchdown. Evans has also totaled 17 career special teams tackles. In 2006, Evans played in all 16 regular season games for the Patriots and earned three starts at fullback. He finished third on the team with 27 rushes and ranked fourth on the club with 117 rushing yards. Evans also caught seven passes for 34 yards and scored his first career touchdown on a 1-yard reception from Tom Brady against Miami on Oct. 8, 2006. In 2005, Evans played in six games with one start for the Patriots and recorded 51 rushes for 192 yards, surpassing his previous career totals of 34 rushes for 108 yards in 67 career games prior to signing with New England. Over a two-game span that included victories over Miami (11/13/05) and New Orleans (11/20/05), Evans led the Patriots with 33 rushes for 158 yards (4.8 avg). Those two-game totals include a career-best 84-yard performance (on 17 carries) in the Patriots' 23-16 victory in Miami on Nov. 13, 2005. The West Palm Beach, Fla. native began the 2005 season with the Dolphins and played in six games for Miami that year, starting twice at fullback before being released by the Dolphins on Oct. 25, 2005. The Auburn University product was drafted by the Seahawks in the third round (82nd overall) of the 2001 NFL Draft. He spent the first four years of his career with Seattle before signing with the Dolphins as an unrestricted free agent on March 17, 2005.
Yates, 26, has played in 11 career games with three starts, including four games with three starts in 2006. He was placed on injured reserve with a leg injury on Nov. 13, 2006. The 6-foot-2-inch, 305-pound interior lineman started three games at right guard last season and made his first career NFL start at Minnesota on Oct. 30. Yates was signed to the active roster from New England's practice squad on Oct. 21, 2006. The Texas A&M product was originally signed by the Miami Dolphins as a rookie free agent prior to the 2003 season. He played in three games for the Dolphins as a rookie, then spent all but one week of the 2004 season on the Patriots practice squad. Yates began the 2005 season on the practice squad and was signed to the active roster on Nov. 12 and played in four regular-season games and one playoff contest that season.
I hope they get him, they could play him at guard next year, and then next year when Flozells contract is up move him back to Left tackle. He hasnt ever shown the fire needed for a second round pick, but hopefully he can reclaim the nessecary amount of anger required for the position
I doubt Davis can play guard.
IRVING, Texas - The free-agent signing period has begun and the Cowboys appear to be moving fast.
The Cowboys have brought in free-agent offensive lineman Leonard Davis (6-6, 366), a former No. 2 overall pick in 2001 who has played the last six years in Arizona.
Davis, who has played both guard and tackle during his career, arrived at Valley Ranch Friday morning and had a lengthy visit at the Cowboys headquarters.
The Cowboys might have a need for both a starting guard and tackle on the right side of the offensive line.
With the start of free agency, right tackle Marc Colombo is now unrestricted and can meet with other club. The Cowboys have had contract talks with his agent, but couldn't get a deal done before the start of the signing period.
If Colombo leaves, the Cowboys would not only need another right tackle, but could have huge void at right guard, where Marco Rivera played all last season. But for the second time in three years, Rivera underwent back surgery to repair a herniated disk.
The 11-year veteran, who turns 35 in late April, might be hard-pressed to make another return this time.
And the Cowboys certainly don't have much experience depth at either position, with Pat McQuistan as the primary backup at tackle and Cory Proctor backing up the guard positions.
That is where adding Davis could be beneficial. While the former University of Texas standout hasn't exactly lived up to expectations of a top draft pick, his experience to play either position is definitely valuable.
Davis was an All-American tackle at Texas, but played guard his first three seasons in Arizona, before switching to left tackle the last three years.
And Davis probably wouldn't mind returning back home either. The Wortham, Texas native grew up near Fort Worth, which could be a big factor in making a decision.

Stinchcomb agrees to two-year, $7M deal with SaintsESPN.com news services
New Orleans Saints: Offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb, who overcame a catastrophic knee injury to resurrect his career in 2006, has agreed to a two-year contract that will keep him with the Saints. The contract is worth $7 million and will pay Stinchcomb $5 million in 2007, between his signing bonus and base salary.
Stinchcomb, 27, drew interest from other teams on the opening day of the NFL's free agent period, but opted to remain with a Saints team that brought him into the league in 2003. He also turned down a longer-term offer from the Saints, one that would have included a larger signing bonus, after he and agent Pat Dye Jr. decided the two-year contract actually offered more flexibility.
The shorter deal will allow Stinchcomb, who has only started one year, to further establish himself and then be eligible again for free agency in the spring of 2009.
A second-round choice in the '03 draft, Stinchcomb appeared in only 10 games, none as a starter, in his first three seasons. Stinchcomb sustained a ruptured right patella tendon in training camp in 2005, sidelining him the entire season and jeopardizing his career. But he rehabilitated diligently, won a starting spot in training camp and performed at a high level all season as the Saints won the division le.

Fletchers a done deal
Skins reach $25M deal with MLB FletcherBy Len Pasquarelli
ESPN.com
Filling their need for a proven, run-stuffing middle linebacker, the Washington Redskins on Friday evening reached a contract agreement with unrestricted free agent London Fletcher, ESPN.com has learned.
Fletcher
Fletcher, 31, will sign a five-year, $25 million contract that includes $10.5 million in bonuses. He will earn nearly $13 million in the first two seasons of the deal and about $15 million over the first three years.
The deal reunites Fletcher with Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who was his head coach with the Buffalo Bills for three seasons (2001-2003).
It had been reported for more than a week that Washington had targeted Fletcher as a priority in free agency, because of his familiarity with Williams and his incredible productivity for a player his age. The Redskins flew Fletcher into town on Friday, visited with him much of the day as they negotiated with agent Drew Rosenhaus, then sealed the agreement in the evening.
The Washington defense slipped considerable against the run in '06, statistically ranking 27th in that key category after being No. 13 in 2005, and Fletcher should help reverse the unit's fortunes. Certainly, despite being in the league for nine years, there has been no discernable falloff in his performance.
Fletcher is also a strong locker room presence, an attribute that Williams stressed to his Washington bosses.
A human tackling machine, the undersized but ever-active Fletcher has averaged 143.4 tackles over the past five seasons. Unlike most middle linebackers around the league, though, Fletcher can stay on the field on third down because of his solid skills in pass coverage.
In nine seasons, Fletcher has 1,091 tackles, 27 ½ sacks, 11 interceptions, 27 passes defensed, 10 forced fumbles and seven recoveries. He has 100-plus tackles in seven seasons and has appeared in 144 games for the Rams (1998-2001) and the Bills (2002-2006).

Pats defense gets boost as Thomas agrees to dealBy Len Pasquarelli

Not since 1995, when Willie McGinest was in just his second season, have the New England Patriots had a defender post double-digit sacks. That long drought is likely to end in 2007.

Tot Ast Solo FF Sack Int
83 64 19 0 11 1
The Patriots have reached an agreement in principle with former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Adalius Thomas, among the premier players in the unrestricted free agent pool, and the seven-year veteran appears to be a perfect fit for coach Bill Belichick's trademark 3-4 defensive scheme.
Thomas has 28½ sacks over the past three seasons, with a career-best 11 sacks in 2006.
Thomas, 29, will have a physical examination on Saturday, when the contract is expected to be finalized. Financial details of what is believed to be a six-year deal, the principle elements of which were agreed to Friday, were not yet available.
But Thomas, who played for Belichick in the Pro Bowl last month, almost certainly will be one of the highest-paid players in free agency. Rated by ESPN.com as the No. 2 unrestricted player available, Thomas figures to land guarantees totaling at least $15 million. There is speculation the contract will average $10 million per year.
With its once-feared linebacker corps in obvious decline, and forced to cut and paste on the unit over the past couple seasons, the New England defense sorely needed the kind of upgrade Thomas should bring. He is the kind of hybrid, edge-type player around whom Belichick has traditionally constructed his defensive schemes, a wonderfully versatile athlete who can morph into multiple roles.
In fact, during his seven years in Baltimore, Thomas played nearly every defensive position, including cornerback, at various times. At 270 pounds, Thomas is physical enough to take on the action at the point of attack, yet swift enough to pursue plays from the backside. His unique blend of physical skills made him the Pats' top target in free agency.
A sixth-round choice in the 2000 draft, Thomas began his career playing on special teams and he earned his first of two Pro Bowl berths in that role. He eventually worked his way into the defensive rotation as a specialist and then became a starter three years ago.
In 96 games, the former Southern Mississippi star has 371 tackles, 38½ sacks, six interceptions, 31 passes defensed, 13 forced fumbles and five recoveries.
New England has also reached agreement with 12-year veteran tight end Kyle Brady on a two-year contract.
Brady, 35, agreed to a two-year contract that is worth $5.3 million and includes a $2 million signing bonus. The 12-year veteran, who played the past eight years in Jacksonville, likely will replace Daniel Graham on the roster. Graham is one of the top unrestricted free agents and isn't expected to return to New England.
Noted more as a blocker at this late juncture of his career, Brady should team with Benjamin Watson in the two-tight end formations the Pats frequently use. A first-round pick in the 1995 draft, Brady has 334 career receptions for 3,449 yards and 23 touchdowns. His best season was in 2000, when Brady notched 64 catches for 729 yards and three scores.
The former Penn State star saw his playing time and his role as a receiver reduced in recent seasons with the Jaguars, who rarely employ a tight end on third down. Brady had only five receptions for 37 yards in 2006 and, for the first time in his career, failed to score a touchdown.
