Washington Redskins team report
Writen by The SportsXchange.com and published on 05-08-08
On May 6, the Redskins signed quarterback Derek Devine and safety Patrick Ghee and cut defensive end Alonzo Dotson, quarterback Bret Meyer and safeties Kevin Mitchell and Justin Scott, all of whom signed as rookie free agents last week.
Devine and Ghee were both in training camp with Seattle last year so Devine has more experience working with new coach Jim Zorn than does holdover backup Sam Hollenbach or rookie Colt Brennan, the other candidates ... read more »
Tennessee Titans team report

The Titans came out of the draft with no major remaining need. They could sift through veteran receivers, defensive linemen and backup offensive linemen, but they likely wouldn't add any until they know what they have in training camp. Among their 10 undrafted rookie signings, defensive tackle Barry Booker from Virginia Tech may be the most promising.

During the club's recent minicamp, Jeff Ulbrich, Dontarrious Thomas and rookie Larry Grant lined up at that position. But Nolan said it is too early to rule out Brandon Moore. Moore was used as Willis' backup. Moore replaced Ulbrich in the starting lineup in ... read more »
