Vernon Davis Signs With Washington

Mar 31, 2016 4:44 PM

Vernon Davis has agreed to a one-year deal with Washington.

In 10 seasons, Davis has caught 461 passes. Davis finished last season with 38 receptions for 395 yards with the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos.

Washington particularly likes the blocking ability of Davis.

Scot McCloughan drafted Davis while with the 49ers.

"He's in great shape. He's a football player and is one of those guys that has never really been injured because his genetics is so incredible," McCloughan said during the NFL owners meetings on March 22. "He can block, he can run, he catches."

Karlos Dansby To Sign With Bengals

Mar 29, 2016 2:44 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals will sign Karlos Dansby.

Despite plenty of time in the 3-4 defense, Dansby will find work in Cincy's 4-3 scheme. 

While Rey Maualuga and Vincent Rey are under contract at middle linebacker, Dansby is an upgrade over A.J. Hawk for a defense that also must account for Vontaze Burfict's three-game suspension.

Jets, Browns No Longer Interested In Colin Kaepernick

Mar 27, 2016 1:44 PM

The New York Jets and Cleveland Browns are no longer pursuing Colin Kaepernick.

The Browns signed Robert Griffin III this week.

Kaepernick is left with the Denver Broncos as his only remaining logical suitor.

Kaepernick's $11.9 million salary becomes fully guaranteed on April 1 and the San Francisco 49ers do not plan to cut him before that date.

The Broncos would have to trade for Kaepernick and the 49ers have so far been unwilling to deal him without a substantial return.

A 12-year veteran, Washington also spent six seasons with the Tennessee Titans and four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Washington caught 47 passes on 95 targets last season for 658 yards after signing a one-year deal with Houston.

Robert Griffin III Signs Two-Year Deal With Browns

Mar 25, 2016 11:31 AM

The Cleveland Browns and Robert Griffin III have agreed upon a two year deal. The Browns have been the only franchise to show serious interest in Griffin.

Griffin is a free agent after he was released by Washington.

Griffin was the 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year and has since struggled with injuries. Griffin led Washington to win the NFC East while throwing for 3,200 yards with 20 touchdowns against five interceptions along with 815 yards rushing and seven touchdowns.

Griffin didn't play at all in 2015 as Jay Gruden went with Kirk Cousins as his starter.
