The Cincinnati Bengals have released Dre Kirkpatrick.

Kirkpatrick was a first round pick in 2012 out of Alabama. Kirkpatrick started six games at cornerback in 2019 before suffering a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 10.

"Dre was a part of the Bengals' organization for many years, and displayed passion, energy and competitiveness both on and off the field," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said in a statement. "We appreciate his many contributions to our team and community over the years, and wish him the best moving forward."

Jason Licht revealed that Tom Brady actually sold the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on his fit with the team rather than the other way around.

"We had a great conversation -- Bruce (Arians) and I -- we talked to him for over an hour and a half. And he made it clear in the conversation that he was very, very interested," Licht said. "It was almost like a recruitment on his part, telling us why it would make sense for him to come to Tampa Bay. The next call we made, we signed him, but it was at that phone call that we realized, that we felt like we had him."

The Buccaneers went into the offseason targeting Brady believing he has plenty of good football left.

"The tape showed to us that he had plenty of arm. In fact, we thought that he had an ideal arm for Bruce in his system," Licht said, referring to Arians' affinity for taking shots downfield. "He can still throw it deep. We felt like the mobility was still the same as he's always had, which, he's never been able to outrun anybody. But he certainly is good in the pocket in terms of eluding pressure and with his poise and his instincts. We did not see a decline in his arm talent whatsoever. And, in fact, we feel like he could still play for over two years for us, and hopefully that's the case."

The Detroit Lions have agreed to a contract with Geronimo Allison.

Allison agreed to a one-year contract for the veteran's minimum of $910,000, according to a source. The wide receiver will also get a $137,500 signing bonus.

The Green Bay Packers signed Allison to a one-year, $2.8 million deal before the 2019 season in the hopes he'd fill the No. 2 receiver role. In 16 games, he had 34 receptions and four drops.

The Washington Redskins have agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with Ronald Darby, according to a source.

Washington had a need at cornerback after cutting Josh Norman and trading Quinton Dunbar.

Darby missed 28 of a possible 48 games over the past three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Derek Wolfe has agreed to sign a one-year, $6 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens.

Wolfe had a career-high seven sacks in 2019 for the Denver Broncos.

The Ravens previously expressed interest in signing Ndamukong Suh.

The Kansas City Chiefs and DeMarcus Robinson have agreed to a one-year contract.

Robinson caught 32 balls for 449 yards in 2019.

Robinson turns 26 in September.

Greg Zuerlein has agreed to sign with the Dallas Cowboys on a three-year deal.

Zuerlein's deal has a base value of $7.5 million.

Zuerlein had spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Rams.

The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a one-year deal with Xavier Rhodes.

Rhodes hit free agency when he was released by the Minnesota Vikings to create salary cap room. He carried a $12.9 million cap hit and had been under contract through 2022.

The cornerback turns 30 in June.

After his deal with the Baltimore Ravens fell apart, Michael Brockers has rejoined the Los Angeles Rams on a similar deal.

Brockers had agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with the Ravens early in free agency.

However, an independent doctor expressed concern over his left ankle, which he injured in the 2019 season finale.

A new agreement couldn't be reached with the Ravens. Brockers now has agreed to a three-year deal worth up to a maximum $31.5 million with the Rams.

The Baltimore Ravens agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with Michael Brockers early in free agency, but restrictions stemming from the coronavirus pandemic have put the deal in jeopardy, according to reports.

A recent physical performed by an independent doctor raised concerns about Brockers' ankle, which bothered the former first-round draft pick in 2019.

The Ravens still intend to sign him, but it's been hard for the team to get reliable information on the defender's condition.
