The Bills have agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal with former Packers linebacker Nick Barnett. Barnett will earn a guaranteed $6 million.

The Bills reached an agreement with Marcell Dareus on a four-year, $20.4 million fully guaranteed deal, according to a source. Buffalo selected Dareus, a defensive lineman out of Alabama, with the third overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

The Giants are setting their sights on Bills linebacker Paul Posluszny. Posluszny is believed to have mutual interest because of his respect for Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, who coached him in Buffalo. He has said his first preference will be to return to Buffalo.

Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward's recent DUI has caused a war of words between one of his teammates and a member of the Ravens on Twitter. Ravens running back Ray Rice and Steelers safety Ryan Clark exchanged tweets on Saturday after Rice reacted to Ward's arrest on the social media website. Rice began the brief exchange by posting on his Twitter account: "Well it looks like Hines Ward will miss week 1 when the lockout ends DUI charge not a good look." Clark responded: "So glad you could Weigh in. Thx," which drew this reaction from Rice: "it's whatever u wanna do bro you know how to find me."

Bills linebacker Paul Posluszny wants to return to the team. Buffalo can't afford to take a step back defensively and losing Posluszny would force them to do just that.

Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson led the NFL in dropped passes last season, but he doesn't believe there is much he can do about it. "Well, the first three games of the season I only had 30 yards. Three catches with 30 yards. There were other games where I had 50 or 60. I feel like I can get 100 every game. Dropped passes ... I can't do too much about that," Johnson said. "Everybody is going to have some drops. The drops I had against Pittsburgh, [that game] I had 7 or 8 catches for like 70 yards and 5 [drops]. If I'd made those catches, I'd have had like 12 catches for 120/130-something yards. You know what I'm saying?" Johnson went on to list exactly what he could have done better for Buffalo. "There was a lot that could have been done. I only had 1,000-something yards," he said. "I want to get 1,100 yards to be with those top receivers. The 10 touchdowns? That's big right there, but I feel like it coulda been more. The leader was Bowe. I believe he had like 15 or 16 [touchdowns]. I'm five away and feel like I coulda had more. It's just continuous work. I feel like I can do it all the time. I know that's hard to come by [to consistently produce over 1,000 yards and a high number of TDs], but there's just a mentality to have especially being in Buffalo where nobody's giving us credit or any kind of lenience at all as far as being a good team in the NFL. I feel like this is the type of attitude you've got to have to try and put the team back on top."
