Adrian Peterson acknowledged he would be interested in playing for the Dallas Cowboys, but he also said the situation is out of his hands.

"It would be nice," to come to Dallas. "I've got family here, my dad's here. But I'm under contract, so we'll see."

The Cowboys appear unwilling to meet the Minnesota Vikings' high asking price and pay Peterson's contract.

Matt Forte is seeking a new contract from the Chicago Bears and is skipping voluntary minicamp in hopes of landing one.

Forte is entering the final season of a $30.4 million contract he signed in 2012.

Owner George McCaskey said he's leaving Forte's situation in the hands of general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox.

Forte has been a workhorse and one of the most overlooked running backs in the NFL. He has compiled 7,704 rushing yards, 3,727 receiving yards and a combined 57 touchdowns.

The New York Jets have received trade interest in Muhammed Wilkerson this offseason from at least two teams.

More calls from teams are expected as the NFL draft gets underway Thursday night, according to the source.

The Jets don't plan on trading Wilkerson but will listen to offers.

Wilkerson could be the most attractive defensive player potentially available. Any team interested in acquiring him would have to weigh whether he is better than the player or players it could draft this week. 

Wilkerson is scheduled to make $6.96 million, the amount of his fifth-year option, this season.

Antonio Brown is working out with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday just days after saying not to expect him at voluntary workouts.

Brown is seeking a new contract.

Pittsburgh typically does not renegotiate contracts, but Brown had 129 catches and 1,698 yards last season and is underpaid.

Eli Manning is comfortable playing the 2015 season without a long-term contract.

Manning is entering the final season of a seven-year, $106.9 million contract with the New York Giants.

"I've known a lot of people who have gone into their last year, my brother went into the last year of his contract twice, and that's just part of it," Manning said Sunday via Newsday. "I look at it as, hey, I signed a six-year contract and I never once mentioned the contract to them or anything, or tried to get extended. I'm going to play out those six years and hopefully my play and the success of the team will dictate the future of me being in New York."

Manning has the second highest base salary in the NFL for 2015.

Washington has picked up their fifth-year option on the contract of Robert Griffin III, keeping him under team control through 2016.

In that 2012 season, Griffin III earned his first-career Pro Bowl selection, while also establishing NFL rookie records for passer rating (102.4), percentage of passes intercepted (1.27) and rushing yards by a quarterback (815).

Griffin has been inconsistent since undergoing surgery on a torn ACL.

Griffin was named starting quarterback for the 2015 season back in February.

The Carolina Panthers have picked up their fifth-year option on Luke Kuechly's contract.

Kuechly has been one of the NFL's most productive linebackers since entering the league in 2012.

Kuechly will now be due $11.1 million for 2016. The Panthers are likely to work to sign him to a longer extension at some point.

The Philadelphia Eagles have told Mark Sanchez that Tim Tebow was signed to be a camp arm and that he probably won't make the regular season roster.

"He's obviously a great guy, he works hard. And we needed another guy to throw while Sam's [Bradford] still recovering," Sanchez said Friday. "So that's the reason [for the signing], at least as explained to me. We're excited about the upcoming year and I think we have a great group."

The day before Sanchez's remarks, Eagles' new vice president of player personnel Ed Marynowitz explained why the team signed Tebow.

"We worked him out and we saw improvement from the last time we saw him, had exposure to him live when we played New England when they practice here," Marynowitz said. "When we worked him out, we saw a great deal of improvement with him. ...

"We've got 68 players that are on our roster right now," he continued. "Tim is one of 68 so he'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot here. ... His role will be determined by his performance. We're excited that he's a member of the organization, and we're looking forward to him competing."

Hakeem Nicks has agreed to sign with the Tennessee Titans.

Nicks' production has dropped in recent years following a few injury-plagued seasons.

Nicks was with the Indianapolis Colts last season.

Tom Telesco is confident that Eric Weddle will eventually be signed by the San Diego Chargers to a long-term extension.

Weddle is entering his ninth NFL season, all spent with San Diego. He hasn't missed a game the past five years while being named an All-Pro after each of them. 

"He's a major part of our football team, an excellent player," Telesco said. "I'm sure our future would have him involved. There's no doubt. We're a better football team with him."
