    Bills have interest in Falcons FB McIntyre

    Friday, February 29, 2008, 03:44 PM EST [General]

    The Buffalo Bills have interest in one of Atlanta's top restricted free agents.

    FOXSports.com has learned the Bills are scheduled to meet Monday with Falcons fullback Corey McIntyre.

    While he wasn't featured much on offense during two seasons with Atlanta, McIntyre has special teams value. The three-year veteran was a Falcons special teams captain in 2007.

    The Falcons gave McIntyre a low RFA tender of $927,000 and have the right to match any offer he signs elsewhere. Because he was undrafted out of West Virginia, Buffalo wouldn't have to surrender draft pick compensation if McIntyre were signed away.

    Dolphins stay busy, sign McCown

    Friday, February 29, 2008, 02:41 PM EST [General]

    Miami has a new starting quarterback.

    FOXSports.com has learned Oakland's Josh McCown has agreed to a two-year, $6.25 million contract with the Dolphins. McCown will receive a $2.5 million signing bonus.

    The Dolphins were seeking to address the position after releasing Trent Green and, as FOXSports.com first reported, allowing Cleo Lemon to leave via free agency today to Jacksonville. Before the McCown signing, unproven 2007 second-round draft pick John Beck was the only notable quarterback on the roster.

    McCown started nine games during an injury-plagued 2007 season with Oakland. While he posted pedestrian passing statistics, McCown was lauded for his leadership skills and willingness to play through pain.

    McCown has 31 career starts in six NFL seasons.

    The McCown signing is one of a flurry of roster moves Miami has made in Bill Parcells' first off-season heading football operations. Various media reports have the Dolphins signing four free agents - linebacker Reggie Torbor (New York Giants), guard Justin Smiley (San Francisco), defensive tackle Randy Starks (Tennessee) and wide receiver Ernest Wilfork (Jacksonville) - while also trading with Dallas for nose tackle Jason Ferguson. The Dolphins also entertained Arizona linebacker Calvin Pace on a free-agent visit.

    Bengals trying to trade for DT Rogers

    Friday, February 29, 2008, 02:20 PM EST [Detroit Lions]

    If the Cincinnati Bengals want to start working some 3-4 formations into their defensive scheme, the franchise may have the prototype nose tackle to man it.

    The Bengals are trying to finalize a trade with Detroit for nose tackle Shaun Rogers. FOXSports.com has learned that the deal - which was originally believed completed earlier today - is still being negotiated.

    Media reports say the Bengals were offering third- and fifth-round draft picks. That is the same compensation the New York Jets gave Carolina in today's trade for defensive tackle Kris Jenkins.

    Rogers has experienced a rollercoaster seven years in Detroit. Rogers' stay is remembered as much for weight issues and clashes with coaches as his two Pro Bowl seasons.

    The 2007 campaign was reflective of much of his NFL career. Rogers was a dominating player at times but he didn't consistently perform at a high level. Having lost patience, Detroit began shopping Rogers shortly after the season ended.

    The Bengals are in need of defensive line help to shore the NFL's 21st-ranked run defense (118.3 yards).
