BILLS, JAGS COMPLETE STROUD TRADE by Michael David Smith
Jay Glazer of Fox is reporting that the Buffalo Bills have completed a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for defensive tackle Marcus Stroud.
The price the Bills paid to the Jaguars was a pair of draft picks, third- and fifth-rounders. That makes it official that the going rate for defensive tackles in the NFL is third- and fifth-round picks. Earlier this week, the Panthers sent Kris Jenkins to the Jets for third- and fifth-round picks, and the Lions agreed to trade Shaun Rogers to the Bengals for third- and fifth-round picks, although that trade was voided and Rogers was ultimately sent to the Browns for a third-round pick and Leigh Bodden.
The Bills paved the way for acquiring Stroud by cutting defensive tackle Larry Tripplett. An Associated Press story saying Stroud "cut short his visit with the Bills in Buffalo on Friday after the team's interest cooled upon learning Stroud was seeking a significant raise" was incorrect.
In fact, a league source tells PFT that although Stroud re-worked his contract in a way that gives him more of the money he's due on his current deal upfront, no "significant raise" was part of the deal with the Bills. Stroud still has three years left on his deal and is still scheduled to make $16.5 million in those three years.

EAGLES SIGN CLEMONS by Michael David Smith
The Philadelphia Eagles have announced the signing of free agent defensive end Chris Clemons to a five-year contract.
Clemons was a part-time player who started only two game for the Raiders last season, but he still recorded a career-high eight sacks as a situational pass rusher. As a pass rush specialist, he should be a good fit for the defensive scheme run by Eagles coordinator Jim Johnson.
Clemons spent three seasons with the Redskins from 2003 to 2005 and was out of the league in 2006, but his career was revitalized when the Raiders signed him to a one-year deal in 2007.
After signing Asante Samuel yesterday and Clemons today, perhaps tomorrow the Eagles should coax former Colts and Browns receiver Reggie Langhorne out of retirement.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Browns have reached agreement with Donte' Stallworth.
Terms aren't known, but it's a great fit for both sides. Cleveland gets depth and speed at wideout, while Stallworth fits best supporting player. He'll make the Browns tough to defend lining up with Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow, and Joe Jurevicius. His fantasy numbers should uptick because he'll see the field more than in New England, but don't expect his first 1,000-yard season.

Alan Faneca-G-Jets Mar. 1 - 5:33 pm et
NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that the Jets have reached agreement with Alan Faneca on a five-year, $40 million contract, with $21 million guaranteed.
The Jets added a year to the original offer, but Faneca will never see that money. He'll be lucky to see the fourth year. In the meantime, he'll bolster a pitiful interior rushing attack. The Jets are overpaying, but they have a leader to help their young linemen develop.
Bernard Berrian-WR-Vikings Mar. 1 - 5:31 pm et
The Vikings signed Bernard Berrian to an undisclosed six-year contract.
Berrian could be overmatched if expected to be a true "number one" receiver, but he adds production and talent to a woeful passing game. Tarvaris Jackson now has two burners in Berrian and Sidney Rice, with Bobby Wade still likely to be active underneath. Expect Berrian's numbers to take a slight hit in Minnesota, where Jackson is still a major question mark.

Pittsburgh letting Faneca go makes no sense to me...Roethlisberger spent more time on the ground than he did on his feet last year...
