2008-09-19CincinnatiThe Cincinnati Bengals signed WRs Keary Colbert, Antonio Bryant and Koren Robinson to one-year contracts.

2008-09-12DenverThe Denver Broncos released RB Chris Brown. He was unable to stay healthy, a problem that likely contributed to his being run out of Philadelphia.

2008-09-12DenverThe Denver Broncos signed PK Rian Lindell to a one-year contract worth $500,000. Lindell, 31, was an undrafted free agent who bounced from one CFL team to another throughout his career. His most recent team was the Montreal Alouettes, but he didn't play much due to injury. The scouting report on Lindell is that he is a very good kicker who was always trapped in a bad situation wherever he played.
2008-09-12BuffaloThe Buffalo Bills released RBs Garrett Wolfe and Adrian Peterson and TE Desmond Clark. An All-American at Northern Illinois, the undersized Wolfe didn't get much of a chance to ply his trade during his rookie year while Peterson never was in the Bills' plans. As for Clark, the Bills invested a fourth-round pick in Fred Davis this year and it was just a matter of time before he was waived.
2008-09-12BuffaloThe Buffalo Bills signed free agents RB Warrick Dunn and WR Michael Jenkins to one-year contracts.

2008-09-12New EnglandThe New England Patriots signed free agent WR Matt Jones to a one-year, $750,000 contract.
