DET Lions Sign Johnson

03/20/2010 1:12 PM - 

The Lions have signed former Panthers LB Landon Johnson to a one-year contract.

MIA Henne Open To Owens/Marshall

03/20/2010 12:45 PM - 

Dolphins QB Chad Henne said he wouldn’t mind the team bringing in a veteran receiver like free agent WR Terrell Owens or Broncos WR Brandon Marshall this offseason.

SOURCE: MIAMI HERALD


Analysis: 

Owens’ declining skills won’t be able to carry the baggage he still has. Marshall is an interesting option, but we doubt Miami would give up a high first-rounder for a player with baggage of his own.

The money is a bit surprising considering they may have possibly brought Karlos Dansby back with a similar deal. Porter will be an every-down linebacker in 2010.
