Brett Favre kept his plans to himself, even as he helped try to recruit LaDainian Tomlinson to play for the Minnesota Vikings. Tomlinson, who signed a two-year deal with the New York Jets on Sunday, said the quarterback gave no indication whether he'd return for a 20th season when they chatted about the Vikings last week.

With one move, the Kansas City Chiefs took a big step toward bolstering a shaky offensive line and making up for a gamble six years ago that came back to haunt them. The Chiefs on Tuesday announced the signing of free agent left guard Ryan Lilja, a 59-game starter for the Indianapolis Colts who was claimed off waivers from Kansas City in 2004.

Don't expect Buffalo Bills coach Chan Gailey to choose a starting quarterback anytime soon. Having evaluated the three quarterbacks on his roster, Gailey said Tuesday he anticipates holding an open competition to determine who will win the job. And Gailey didn't rule out the team selecting a quarterback in the draft next month, or the possibility of acquiring an established starter in a...

The Atlanta Falcons have released former first-round pick Tye Hill and signed safety Matt Giordano. Hill was the 15th overall pick in 2006 by St. Louis. After three disappointing years with the Rams, he was dealt to Atlanta shortly before the start of last season for a seventh-round pick. In eight games with the Falcons, Hill had seven tackles and one interception.

Free agent linebacker Andra Davis has signed with the Buffalo Bills. The deal was reached on Tuesday during Davis' visit to the team's headquarters. Davis is an eight-year NFL veteran, who spent last season with Denver before being cut by the Broncos last week. Selected in the fifth round of the 2002 draft by Cleveland, he spent seven years with the Browns, including the past six as a...

The Chicago Bears have signed free agent cornerback Tim Jennings to a two-year contract and released fullback Jason McKie. A second-round draft pick by Indianapolis in 2006, Jennings recorded 157 tackles and four interceptions in four years with the Colts. He was not offered a tender after the season, making him free to sign elsewhere.

The St. Louis Rams have added depth to the offensive line, signing veteran center Hank Fraley. The 32-year-old Fraley, a 10-year veteran, was released by the Cleveland Browns and landed with the Rams on Tuesday. Fraley made 52 starts in 63 games with Cleveland and had been due a roster bonus. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Fraley spent his first six seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles while Rams coach...

The NFL chose two new co-chairmen -- and a new name -- for its committee on concussions. Dr. Hunt Batjer of Northwestern University, and Dr. Richard Ellenbogen of the University of Washington will lead what now will be called the NFL head, neck and spine medical committee, the league said Tuesday. The panel used to be called the NFL mild traumatic brain injury committee.

The Denver Broncos aren't publicly saying they have another open quarterback competition on their hands. They don't have to. Josh McDaniels' actions and the words of Brady Quinn and Kyle Orton show they most certainly do. Quinn, acquired from the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in exchange for fullback Peyton Hillis and two draft picks, was diplomatic in his introductory teleconference...
