This is moving too slow, but here's some news. WR's we probaly can't sign amoung them. Mike Jones as a backup LB may be worth looking at.
Salary-cap casualties
(June 3, 2002) -- Early June signifies a time when several teams release players in an effort to conserve salary-cap space. The names often include seasoned veterans; long-time 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice was the big name on last year's list.
The following players were released:
JUNE CUTS
Team Player The scoop
Jamal Anderson, RB Lingering injuries and the addition of Warrick Dunn and first-round draft choice T.J. Duckett made Anderson the odd-man out in Atlanta's crowded backfield.
Antonio Freeman, WR In one offseason, Favre lost two of his favorite targets (the other being Bill Schroeder, who signed with the Lions). Expect Freeman to land on his feet while Terry Glenn assumes his post in Green Bay's receiving corps.
Keenan McCardell, WR A six-year stint in Jacksonville ends as a chance to play for a new team begins. McCardell hasn't missed an NFL game since 1998.
Hardy Nickerson, LB Has 88 tackles and three interceptions, but no sacks, in 2001.
Mike Jones, LB Kendrell Bell's amazing rookie season at inside linebacker paved the way for this release.
