Ravens Sign Former Rams QB Marc Bulger To One-Year, $3.8 Million Contract

The last time we heard from Marc Bulger, the Cardinals were debunking reports that they were interested in him.

Now, nearly 10 weeks after he was released, Bulger has found a new home with the Baltimore Ravens, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Cardinals GM Rod Graves has apparently caught wind of Jason Cole’s Yahoo! Sports report that the team is considering adding Marc Bulger if the Matt Leinart continues to spiral.

According to Graves, Leinart has played well thus far in OTAs and the team is not considering a move to Bulger.

Matt Leinart has the near impossible task of replacing a potential future Hall of Famer in Kurt Warner. Leinart, a first round pick, apparently hasn’t been impressing the Cardinals coaches in recent OTAs.

According to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, the Cardinals may even consider a change at the position with a player St. Louis fans may remember.

At the start of free agency, agent Drew Rosenhaus said his client Terrell Owens was in “active discussions” with at least three teams (one of which we know was the Bengals). The weeks passed by and nothing came of those discussions until ESPN’s John Clayton reported T.O.‘s next stop “could” be Oakland. Like all the other rumors surrounding the Raiders, the team denied the reports.

Two months later and there have been no hard developments on the T.O. front. A few rumors popped up once again the other day suggesting T.O. could be headed for the Raiders.

The Patriots on Tuesday released veteran cornerback Shawn Springs. Considering retirement at one point this offseason, it’s unclear what Springs’ next move is. Here’s what SB Nation Pats Pulpit had to say:

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Patriots haven’t ruled out re-signing him at some point before the season.

Restricted free agent Elvis Dumervil skipped Denver’s off-season conditioning program while he tries to work out a new contract with the team. While he’s still not there, he doesn’t want to miss anymore time on the field. Dumervil signed a waiver allowing him to participate in the Denver Broncos’ passing camp this week.

Elvis says he and the team are working on a few “tweaks” on the final contract but he hopes to have it settled soon.

With the switch to the 3-4 defense, the Redskins will require some players that have, you know, played in that defense before. For that, they’ve signed Vonnie Holliday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Holliday spent 2009 in Denver’s 3-4 defense and the previous four years in Miami.

The Patriots traded a third and fifth round pick to the Raiders for DE Derrick Burgess last season. He was in the final year of his contract and the Pats let him hit the open market.

Nearly two months later and they’re bringing him back.

As reported, Pacman Jones signed a contract with the Bengals. According to a report, it’s a two-year deal. SB Nation’s Cincy Jungle takes a look at the key part of the contract:

When you’re dealing with someone who has repeatedly been in trouble with the law and suspended for said transgressions, this is a necessity.

The Bengals have added to their secondary again. On the same day they signed Pacman Jones, the Bengals reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year contract with S Gibril Wilson.

SB Nation’s Cincy Jungle doesn’t expect him to have a huge role.

SB Nation’s Bengals community, Cincy Jungle, has reacted to the news that Pacman Jones will reportedly sign with the team. The overall feeling of Bengals fans is probably what most of us are thinking:

What in the world are they doing?

Back in March, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported the Lions would sign free agent CB Pacman Jones. Of course, that signing never happened.

Now, PFT reports Pacman will sign with the Bengals.

On the same day a Bengals player was arrested, the club is working out a player known best for his arrests.

Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports, citing a league source, that Pacman Jones is working out with the Bengals today.

The Redskins are familiar with Joey Galloway. They faced him twice a year while he was with the Cowboys from 2000-2004.

Now he’s joining their team.

The Bears acquired safety Chris Harris via trade from the Panthers on Tuesday. With Harris in the fold, there was no room for safety Kevin Payne.

The Bears announced Payne has been traded to the Rams.

Just two years ago the Jets signed G Alan Faneca to a five-year, $40 million contract with $21 million guaranteed. He lasted two years in New York before they released him last week.

Faneca has found a new home but for considerably less money.

Panthers S Chris Harris tweeted earlier today that he had been traded to the Bears. The move has been confirmed. The Bears gave up LB Jamar Williams in exchange.

The Bears drafted a safety, Major Wright, last weekend.

The Rams are the only team that has invited former Eagles RB Brian Westbrook to camp. Westbrook took a step towards signing with them as he passed his physical over the weekend.

According to Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, he “might very well” sign with St. Louis soon as a solid No. 2 option after Stephen Jackson.

The Packers made Jeremy Thompson a fourth round in the 2008 draft. Unfortunately, his career plans have been derailed.

Thompson suffered a neck injury in practice at the end of the 2009 season.

The Bucs were reportedly shopping defensive lineman Chris Hovan over draft weekend. With no takers, he will be released, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

Hovan’s release is no surprise once you look at the Bucs draft.

In 2007 the Patriots signed former Ravens LB Adalius Thomas for five years to the tune of $35 million. Thomas, who excelled with the Ravens, was expected to be a pass rushing force with the Patriots.

The results weren’t what both sides expected. Thomas had just 14.5 sacks over the next three years.

As expected, the Jaguars will part ways with former Pro Bowl DT John Henderson. The Jags spent their first two picks in the draft on DT Tyson Alualu and DT D’Anthony Smith so the writing was on the wall.

Henderson was the Jaguars 2002 first round pick and played in all but four games for them.

What started as a rumored report early Saturday morning quickly became official during Round 5 of the 2010 NFL Draft: the Jets formally released Alan Faneca.

The Jets had signed Faneca to a five-year, $40 million contract, with $21 million in guarantees, in 2008, making him the highest paid offensive lineman in NFL history.

The Rams are making plenty of moves at the 2010 NFL draft but they haven’t forgotten about free agency.

According to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, Brian Westbrook is taking a physical in St. Louis today.

The Jets are planning to release guard Alan Faneca on Monday, according to a report.

That trade chatter gained some momentum when the Jets spent a second round pick on offensive lineman Vladimir Ducasse.
