Patriots sign former Seahawks RB Leon Washington
The Patriots have signed Seahawks and Jets RB/Returner Leon Washington.
Washington has recently been released by the Seahawks, he was due to $1.5 million in base salary in 2013. The Seahawks have tried to shop him around the league with little success as the Buccaneers was the only team interested.
After the trade to bring former Vikings WR Percy Harvin to Seattle, the Seahawks had no more use of Washington and also had to save cap space.
Washington was never used much as a running back with the Seahawks since arriving via trade from the Jets during the 2010 draft for a fifth round pick but has been one of the better return man in the league.
Washington recorded 4,398 return yards [both kick and punt returns] during his 3-years with the Seahawks and also scored 4 TDs.

Chiefs release QB Matt Cassel
The Chiefs have finally cut ties with their former starter, the team announced the release of QB Matt Cassel.
In 2009 the Chiefs traded their 2nd round pick to the Patriots for Cassel and LB Mike Vrabel after Cassel led the 2008 Patriots to an 11-5 record. Then signed him to a 6-year, $63 million contract. After an up and down 2009 season, Cassel played very well in 2010 and after a 27 TDs-7 INTs he took the Chiefs to the playoffs only to lose in the wildcard round to the Ravens.
It was nothing but decline for Cassel since, he committed 30 turnovers over his past 18 starts.
The Chiefs tried to shop Cassel this off-season with the Vikings reportedly showing the most interest but they couldn't work out the deal. [Probably because Cassel wasn't willing to re-do his deal]
The Patriots and Vikings will probably now try to sign him as a free-agent, which could mean that the Ryan Mallett trade talk will receive a spark as the Patriots can now have a capable back-up to Tom Brady, the Browns are still very interested in Mallett but the move will probably only happen in April if it does.

Bears release TE Kellen Davis
The Kellen Davis experiment is over in Chicago.
According to Pro Football Talk, Davis has been released.
Coming into the 2012 season it was thought that Davis had a lot of talent but never reached his potential because of Mike Martz's untightend friendly offense, which landed him a 2-year, $6 million contract with the Bears in the off-season. However, it turns out that it was Davis who simply couldn't play, in 16 games in 2012 Davis caught just 19 passes and scored only two TDs while also struggling with drops.

Steelers re-sign FB/TE David Johnson to a 1-year deal
The Steelers have announced that FB/TE David Johnson will return to a 1-year deal.
The 2009 7th round pick started all 16 games in 2011 and recorded career high 12 catches for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Fellow TE Heath Miller had his entire knee explode late last season and will need time to recover, while Johnson can't replace his receiving abilities, Johnson is a great run blocker who can play TE or FB for the Steelers.
