Jeremy Maclin has agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Maclin will receive $3.5 million in guaranteed money, while bonuses could bring the deal up to $6 million.

The Carolina Panthers have placed the franchise tag on Greg Hardy.

"We have had great dialogue with both Greg and his agent (Drew Rosenhaus)," said general manager Dave Gettleman.

Hardy has become one of the NFL's most productive pass rushers.

Dennis Pitta and the Ravens have agreed to a five-year, $32 million deal.

Pitta could have been franchised by the Ravens, which would have paid him $11 million.

Pitta is already 29 with his career starting later due to a Mormon mission.

The New Orleans Saints will use their franchise tag on Jimmy Graham before Monday's deadline.

The Saints contend Graham is a tight end, which would mean a less expensive franchise tag than if he were classified as a wide receiver.

Graham has been one of the NFL's most productive pass catchers since coming into the NFL.

Matthew Stafford collected a $17.5 million bonus on Friday from the Detroit Lions.

The payment is part of the $27.5 million signing bonus Stafford received in his $53 million extension.

Stafford threw for 4,650 yards, 29 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in 2013.

Greg Hardy and the Carolina Panthers are in discussions on a long-term deal.

Hardy said during the week of the Super Bowl that he would be looking for a "crapload of money" after becoming one of the NFL's best pass rushers. Hardy had 26 sacks over the past two seasons.

The Panthers are "cap-strapped" but signing Hardy to a deal is a clear priority due to his value on defense.

The NFL will increase the salary cap for 2014 to $133 million.

Recent increases have been by only one or two million dollars per season.

The official number will be announced on Friday or Monday.

The owners projected the cap to come in at $126.3 million.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed Daniel Kilgore to a three-year extension.

Kilgore will likely be the 49ers' starting center in 2014 to replace Jonathan Goodwin. The 49ers have yet to contract Goodwin about possibly returning in 2014.

Kilgore was scheduled to earn $645,000 in 2014.

The Chicago Bears have agreed upon a one-year contract with Dante Rosario.

The Bears also re-signed Roberto Garza to a one-year, $1.5 million deal that includes a $100,000 signing bonus.

The Indianapolis Colts have interest in pursuing Eric Decker.

Decker is a free agent and could be a cap casualty for the Denver Broncos.

Decker would be a nice complement alongside T.Y. Hilton, Reggie Wayne and Da'Rick Rogers.

Decker could be a long-term replacement for Wayne.
