The Cardinals would like to extend the contract of inside linebacker Daryl Washington. Washington is entering his third season with Arizona and represents an important cog in their defensive scheme. "He's a very talented player and he has demonstrated that he's the type of guy that we want in our program for the long term," general manager Rod Graves said. "We're hoping we can get to a point where we can sit down and talk about extending our relationship with him. He certainly is one that we're focused on doing that with." Washington also would like an extension. "I certainly want to be here for a long time. This is where I want to end my career, hopefully," he said.

Ryan Clady has rejected a $50 million contract extension with the Broncos and called off further negotiations. Clady, a two-time Pro Bowl left tackle, ended talks Monday on an extension until after the 2012 season. Clady declined to discuss his contract situation.

Joe Linta, the agent for Joe Flacco, spent Sunday negotiating a contract extension with the Ravens. After his meeting with Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome and vice president of football administration Pat Moriarty, Linta said that a date by which the extension must be completed has not been set. Flacco is set to earn a $6.76 million base salary in the final year of his rookie contract.

Braylon Edwards worked out for the Dolphins this weekend, according to a report.

The Giants are still open to giving Victor Cruz a contract extension. The wide receiver, who broke out last season, is entering the final year of his deal worth $540,000 and has said he would like a new contract. "It could happen," general manager Jerry Reese said. "All those options are open. I just think Victor is focused on being a good football player again. The contract situation will take care of itself."

The Redskins want to add depth to their backfield. The team has held internal discussions about signing free agents Cedric Benson and Ryan Grant. Washington doesn't have a clear front-runner at starting tailback as training camp begins. Tim Hightower, Roy Helu and Evan Royster all are in the mix.

Bryant Johnson has re-signed with the Texans after playing in all 16 games for the team in 2011. Roy Williams had a tryout with Houston, but the team hasn't expressed any interest in inking him to a deal.

Talks between the Steelers and Mike Wallace have broken off, and the Steelers don't plan to talk contract until the wide receiver reports to camp, a source told ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton on Wednesday. The sides exchanged proposals Monday without resolution.

Adrian Wilson took a pay cut when he agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Cardinals. The 32-year-old safety had two years and $14.5 million remaining on his previous contract. His new deal, which runs through 2015, was expected to involve a decrease that would save Arizona both cash and cap space. While Wilson has taken a major pay cut, he will have the opportunity to earn every nickel back through incentives.

Joe Flacco is entering the final year of his contract, but he isn't letting his uncertain future distract him. Discussions on a new deal for the quarterback are ongoing between agent Joe Linta and Ravens vice president of football administration Pat Moriarty. "All the conversations have been productive," Linta said. "We've gone back-and-forth on proposals. And the biggest thing I can tell you is that Joe's so focused on winning that all of this isn't something he's paying a lot of attention to, he's got such a chip on his shoulder about winning now. The most telling quote from Joe I can give you is that he told me, 'I've got a contract, and I'm gonna honor it. He's part of a rare breed in this day and age."
