Days after nabbing LB Mike Peterson, the Jaguars continue to bolster their defense by signing All-Pro DE Hugh Douglas to a five-year deal. The ex-Eagles lineman finished 2002 with 12½ sacks. "I'm excited, this is a young up-and-coming defense," Douglas said.

The agent for Orlando Pace has asked the Rams for a trade, saying the team refuses to negotiate with the Pro Bowl offensive tackle. "We'd like to see a trade happen," agent Carl Poston told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a story posted March 14 on the newspaper's Web site. "And the only reason we're doing that is that the Rams are not negotiating. "They refuse to. I don't know why. If they're not going to pay him, then we'd just like him to be able to go somewhere else, where he can be paid." Because Pace was not signed by the end of the day March 14, the Rams lost the right to use the franchise tag again for the length of any contract signed by him before July 15. Poston said his phone calls to the Rams on March 14 went unanswered. But team president John Shaw, reached in Los Angeles by the newspaper, called Poston's accusation "crazy." Pace's agent has ought an $85 million contract, with a signing bonus of $23.8 million.
