The New Orleans Saints will release veteran receiver Joe Horn on Friday. According to the team's web site, Horn was unwilling to reduce his 2007 pay.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran linebacker Joey Porter
A league source tells us that the Jaguars have extended the contract of running back Fred Taylor. His current contract was set to expire after the 2007 season.
VIKES TO CUT WIGGINS
A league source tells us that the Falcons have formally applied the highest possible restricted free agent tender to backup quarterback Matt Schaub. Barring a long-term deal, he'll be paid $2.35 million in 2007 by the Falcons
The Minnesota Vikings, who were previously thought to be $12 million or so under the cap, reportedly have a whopping $30 million in cap space as free agency approaches.

I have both Horn and Wiggins in my Dynasty league. Horn has struggled the last two years, because of injuries. Wonder if he has any gas left in the tank. Look for Trent Green of the Chiefs to be released.

A fan site known as 49erswebzone.com reports that Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports that the 49ers have signed or are in the process of signing cornerback Nate Clements.
PLUMMER TO THE BUCS
Several media outlets report that the Broncos have shipped quarterback Jake Plummer to the Buccaneers, for a fourth-round draft pick.
The move gives Plummer a chance to compete with Chris Simms for the starting job, and likely relegates 2006 rookie Bruce Gradkowski to the bottom of the depth chart.
It also removes Tampa from the Jeff Garcia derby.

Word of the trade broke earlier this morning, but recent published reports suggested that Plummer might pack it in.
Plummer has played 10 NFL seasons. We have a weird feeling that, after a year or so on the sidelines, he might be lured back. The Cardinals, for example, will need a backup after Kurt Warner retires, and it would be fitting for Plummer to end his career there.

Why did Chicago release Ron Rivera? I thought he was supposed to be the greatest Defensive Coach in all of the world.

Lovie Smith is a D coordinator so the Bears are so cheap they don't want to pay top dollar for two D coordinators.

VIKES GO TWO FOR THREE
Both the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Minneapolis Star Tribune report that the Vikings have signed linebacker Vinny Ciurciu and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe.
The move prompted loud cursing from anyone in the organization responsible for spelling player names correctly on a consistent basis.
But the Vikings were unable to come to terms with receiver Kevin Curtis, who is now heading to Detroit for a meet-and-greet
RAMS SIGN BENNETT
A league source tells us that the Rams have agreed to terms with receiver Drew Bennett.
We're told that the deal will average $4.5 million per year.
Bennett spent the first six years of his career with the Titans
GARCIA SIGNS WITH BUCS
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed quarterback Jeff Garcia.
The official announcement will be made at a 1:00 p.m. EST press conference.
It's believed that Garcia was looking for a contract worth $5 million per year. But Schefter reports that Garcia is getting the same deal that Chris Simms received.
Sounds like an open competition to us.
PATS LAND THOMAS
The New England Patriots reportedly have reached an agreement in principle with free-agent linebacker Adalius Thomas. He generally was regarded as the second-best available talent in a relatively weak field, behind cornerback Nate Clements.
Initial, albeit equivocal, reports of the deal broke on Friday night, primarily from John Tomase of the Boston Herald and Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe. We're also told that Tom Curran of NBCSports.com has reported that the deal is expected to be worth $60 million over six years.
Thomas, 29, is slated to take a physical before the agreement is finalized
NINERS SPENDING BIG MONEY
On the same day that the San Francisco 49ers handed out more than $20 million in guaranteed money to cornerback Nate Clements, the team coughed up $10 million in guaranteed money to safety Michael Lewis.
Nancy Gay of the San Francisco Chronicle reports on the guaranteed money, and observes that Lewis hauled in this payday despite being benched during the 2007 season.
