Trotter, 32, last played with Tampa Bay in December 2007.

The Colts signed Hank Baskett, a 27-year-old free agent who played three-plus seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, to a one-year contract today and he was on the practice field this afternoon. ?It?s good to have another veteran," Colts quarterback Peyton Manning said. ?Hopefully we can catch him up to speed as much as possible so if we had to put him in there to play he?d be ready. ?It?s a lot of offense to learn in a couple of days, but he?s been in a complicated offense in Philadelphia and he?s a veteran. He can only help us.??

Former Vikings receiver Bobby Wade has caught on with the Chiefs. Wade signed a one-year contract with Kansas City on Monday, according to agent Jerome Stanley.

"In a lot of ways, it's similar to what he came to in Minnesota, with a different architect."

Jake Delhomme will start at quarterback against the Falcons this week, but the Panthers have added A.J. Feeley to the mix.

[Roger] Federer doesn't win every tournament," Carolina coach John Fox said. "There's a lot of people out there that practice and get paid, too." Feeley, who was cut by the Eagles earlier this month, agreed to a contract with the Panthers and was expected to arrive in town on Monday night. He'll replace Josh McCown, who the team placed on the IR.
