TAPEH RETURNS HOME

The Vikings have announced that they have signed fullback Thomas Tapeh, an unrestrictred free ageny who previously played for the Eagles.

Tapeh attended the University of Minnesota and grew up in the Twin Cities. He spent two seasons working with Vikings coach Brad Childress when Childress was the offensive coordinator in Philly.

His arrival means that Pro Bowl fullback Tony Richardson likely won't be re-signed.

WILKINS CALLS IT QUITS

The Rams have announced that veteran kicker Jeff Wilkins has retired.

Wilkins was signed through 2009, and was due to earn a base salary of $800,000 this season.

The move puts the Rams in the market for a kicker. Perhaps they'll try to lure Josh Brown from NFC West rival Seattle.

TOGA PARTY IN TAMPA

Lock up the kids, break out the booze, and get the garbage bag full of one dollar bills ready -- there's a party being planned in Tampa.

With $44 million in cap room (before signing Jeff Faine), the Bucs are aggressively lining up free-agency visits.

PewterReport.com reports that 49ers defensive end Marquis Douglas and Vikings running back Mewelde Moore will visit as soon as Friday. Pewter Report also says that the Bucs are trying to line up a visit with cornerback Drayton Florence of the Chargers.

Other visits also are scheduled or in the planning stages.

Hey, if they're serious about getting Mewelde Moore, maybe they should have a party on that big-ass pirate ship in the end zone of Raymond James Stadium, and invite guys like Daunte Culpepper, Fred Smoot, Moe Williams, and Bryant McKinnie.

^ LOL

1:21 p.m.: There is a report Lance Briggs will visit with the Buccaneers. I can't confirm that. But, for the 1,000th time, I can say that the 49ers aren't in the mix.

ALL QUIET ON THE REDSKINS FRONT by Michael David Smith

Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post reports that the Redskins do not have a single free agent visit planned.

Per La Canfora, the Redskins' actions have been limited today to "checking in with the agents for their own free agents, monitoring the market and holding internal discussions about possibilities on the trade or free agent market."

That's a rather stunning departure for a team whose owner, Daniel Snyder, has never shied away from making a big splash with big contracts for big-name free agents. But considering that the Redskins are barely under the $116 million salary cap for 2008, the team doesn't have much choice.

The Redskins' top priority in free agency was to re-sign their own free agent quarterback Todd Collins, and now that they've done that, they're not expected to make any big news any time soon.

DOLPHINS SIGN JOSH MCCOWN by Michael David Smith

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Miami Dolphins have reached a contract agreement with free agent quarterback Josh McCown.

Per Schefter, the contract is a two-year deal worth $6.25 million. Although that's a contract more in line with what a backup usually makes, McCown may very well be the Dolphins' starter in September. Of the three quarterbacks on the Dolphins' 2007 roster, two -- Trent Green and Cleo Lemon -- are already gone, and the third -- John Beck -- was unimpressive in the four games he started.

McCown started nine games for the Raiders last year, completing 58.4 percent of his passes and throwing 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He previously started 22 games for the Cardinals from 2003 to 2005, and he spent the 2006 season with the Lions, where his only regular-season playing time came at wide receiver.

The Dolphins have been the busiest team in the league on a very busy first day of free agency.

RANDALL GAY DRAWING INTEREST by Michael David Smith

Although he won't sign as big a contract as his teammate Asante Samuel, New England Patriots free agent cornerback Randall Gay is drawing significant interest.

Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe is reporting that Gay, a native of Louisiana who played football at LSU, is set to visit the New Orleans Saints on Saturday morning. If he leaves his hometown team without a contract, he'll head to a visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday.

Meanwhile, Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Gay is also drawing interest from Atlanta, Seattle, Detroit and Kansas City, and that it's also still possible that he'll stay in New England.

Robinson cites a source who says Gay is hoping to command a five-year deal in the range of $15 to $25 million in total money. Gay played in all 16 games for the Patriots last season, starting three.

EAGLES SIGN ASANTE SAMUEL by Michael David Smith

Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles have signed free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel.

According to Schefter, Samuel signed the six-year deal just moments ago. He arrived in Philadelphia today, and it had been widely reported that the Eagles wanted to do all they could to keep him from leaving without a signed contract in place.

No financial details are yet available. Samuel was said to be seeking a contract that paid in the $10 million a year range.
