Six teams were interested in Shawn Barber, although not enough to coax the veteran linebacker with a couple of rebuilt anterior cruciate ligaments to sign more than a one-year contract on Wednesday with the Eagles.

-- Delaware County Times
The Browns have expressed interest in LaVar Arrington, according to his agent. The question now is whether Arrington has interest in them.

-- Washington Post
The Redskins were close to terms with running back Rock Cartwright yesterday, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, and have been negotiating with their other unrestricted free agents -- starting safety Ryan Clark, starting tight end Robert Royal and defensive lineman Demetric Evans -- and could reach deals with them in the immediate future, as well.
