The Lions have reportedly signed free agent wide receiver Bryant Johnson to a three-year deal worth $9 million.
Johnson spent his first five seasons with the Cardinals, before signing with the 49ers last spring.
Jets Re-Sign Moore To 4-Year Deal
The Jets wanted to replace guard Brandon Moore with Pittsburgh's Chris Kemoeatu, but after a deal fell through they re-signed Moore.
New York inked Moore to a four-year, $16 million deal a day after Kemoeatu re-signed with the Steelers.
"At the end of the day, when it was said and done, who did they come back to and who ended up there?" Moore said. "I ended up back with the team I wanted to be with. ... We worked it out at the end."
Brooking Signs With Cowboys
The Cowboys have signed linebacker Keith Brooking to a three-year deal, according to his agent.
Brooking had been a member of the Falcons.
Dallas coach Wade Phillips was a member of Atlanta's staff a few years ago.
"That played a big part in the decision," Dye said of the chance for Brooking to be reunited with Phillips.
Detroit Signs RB Morris, CB King
The Lions have signed veteran running back Maurice Morris and cornerback Eric King to contracts.
Morris received a three-year deal reportedly worth $7 million, while King landed a two-year pact worth an undisclosed amount from Detroit.
Broncos Give Dawkins Five-Year Deal
The Broncos, who have been busy since free agency kicked off on Friday morning, have signed veteran safety Brian Dawkins to a five-year, $17 million deal.
The contract includes $7.2 million in guaranteed money.
The pact also has escalators that could boost the value of the agreement to $27 million over five years. However, the deal also could be voided to two years, $9 million, according to an NFL.com report.
Dawkins had spent the previous 13 years of his career with the Eagles.
Jaguars Sign Sean Considine
Jacksonville has signed Sean Considine to a contract, making him the second Philadelphia safety to leave to team in a matter of hours.
Considine was a fourth round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft.
Bills Sign QB Ryan Fitzpatrick
The Bills have signed quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to be the backup to Trent Edwards.
"I think it's helped me a lot in my career to play behind Marc Bulger (in St. Louis) and Carson Palmer," Fitzpatrick told the Bills' official team Web site. "I've been able to see how they approach the game, and in doing that I've been able to help them out. I think that's what I'm going to bring here.
"Trent is still a young guy and I'm going to help him out with his preparation. I'm going to be his eyes when he's on the field and I'm looking forward to that relationship."
Redskins Add Dockery To Spending Spree
The Redskins have agreed to terms on a five-year deal worth roughly $27 million with guard Derrick Dockery.
The deal includes $8.5 million in guaranteed money and $11.5 million paid over the first two years, according to a league source.
Dockery hit the market in an abnormal way.
The Bills and Lions had agreed to a trade on Thursday with Detroit picking up the rest of Dockery's 7-year, $49 million contract. However, the Buffalo failed to file the necessary paperwork with the NFL, according to a league source, and, rather than pay Dockery $4.5 million for this year, the Bills allowed him to become a free agent.
Eagles To Pair Andrews Brothers On OL
The Eagles have signed right tackle Stacy Andrews, which means they'll likely pair him with his brother Shawn on the offensive line next season.
Shawn is Philadelphia's starting right guard, and both brothers were drafted in 2004. The Eagles took Shawn in the first round, while the Bengals took Stacy in the fourth.
Stacy Andrews said playing on the line together is, "something we've been talking about ever since we first got to the league."
Rams Agree To Terms With Jason Brown
The Rams have agreed to terms with center Jason Brown on a five-year deal worth $37.5 million.
Of that amount, $20 million is reportedly guaranteed to Brown, who played with the Ravens last season.
"We stressed even during the season about getting bigger on the offensive line, more physical, and he fits everything," general manager Billy Devaney said Friday. "(Jason's) smart, big, young, and of strong character.
"The arrow's still going up on him ? an ascending player. So there's a lot of good traits about him. And Butler ? the same thing. He's in the prime of his career."

Grading The Deal: Giants Franchise Jacobs
