Update: According to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Green Bay Packers' S Derrick Martin agreed on a two-year contract extension with the Packers on Monday. Martin, 24, became the first of eight potential restricted free agents the Green Bay Packers were able to take off the market before the signing period begins March 5. Martin, who finished second on the team in special teams tackles with 21, received a guaranteed amount, which raises the likelihood he'll be kept around, at least through the end of training camp. His first-year salary will be at least $1.176 million with a chance to make considerably more in the second year.

Update: According to New Orleans Times-Picayune, the New Orleans Saints do not plan on using the franchise tag on free agent S Darren Sharper, according to league sources on Monday. But General Manager Mickey Loomis has given no indication yet what his intentions are. The deadline for designating franchise and transition players is Thursday. The Saints would have to offer Sharper, 34, a one-year deal worth $6.455 million to lock him up or they could decide to negotiate a new deal with him or let him leave for another team.

Update: According to ESPN.com, the New York Jets sign former Dallas Cowboys' K Nick Folk to a one-year contract, a league source said Tuesday. Folk had workouts with the Jets and Giants, but opted for the Jets deal. The deal comes to no surprise since Jets' K Jay Feely is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. However, Feely says he'd prefer to stay with the Jets and sign a contract before the free-agency period begins.

"I'd love to get back there," Feely told ESPN.com's Tim Graham. "We have had negotiations and discussions, and they were very pleasant, very positive. They're very pleased with how I kicked over the past couple years and the leadership I showed. … It's just a matter of coming to an agreement on a contract."

Fantasy Impact: Last season, Feely made 30 of 36 field goal attempts and scored 122 points. He has 231 field goals and 1,013 points in nine career seasons. Folk made 18 of 28 field goals and scored 90 points in 14 games last year. The Cowboys cut him with two weeks remaining in the regular season.

Update: According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Eagles released RB Brian Westbrook. Westbrook had an injury-riddled 2009 season that included two concussions, a nagging ankle injury, and limited production.

Update: Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune, reports the Chicago Bears have signed free-agent WR Eric Peterman (Bears) and TE Richard Angulo (Jaguars) to one-year deals. Financial terms were not disclosed.

He was also a part of the Bears practice squad during the 2006 season. Peterman spent the entire preseason with the Bears and the final week of the 2009 regular season on Chicago's practice squad after joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of Northwestern.

Update: Updating a previous item, Michael C. Wright, of the Florida Times-Union, reports Jacksonville Jaguars TE Ernest Wilford signed a one-year deal worth the veteran minimum $630,000.

Fantasy Impact: Wilford would have been an unrestricted agent this off season.

Update: Rich Cimini, of the New York Daily News, reports there is a decent chance the New York Jets may release RB Thomas Jones during the off season. Jones is due a $3 million roster bonus plus a $2.8 million salary. The emergence of RB Shonn Greene also puts Jones squarely on the bubble.

Fantasy Impact: Jones still had a productive season with the team massing over 1000 yards once again and could be well used by another club.

Update: The Associated Press reports that The New England Patriots have applied a non-exclusive franchise on NT Vince Wilfork which will give the team more time to negotiate a long term contract. The Patriots will be able to match any offer from other clubs or receive 2 first round draft picks should he not be signed.

Fantasy Impact: The Patriots have reported “A long-term agreement with Vince Wilfork has been the team’s top contractual priority for some time,” the Patriots said in a statement. “Unfortunately, despite numerous conversations and proposals, the goal has not yet been realized. Vince is a tremendous player for our team and remains a significant part of our future plans.”

Update: Bernie Wilson of The Associated Press reports that The San Diego Chargers have chosen to release RB LaDainian Tomlinson after 9 incredible seasons with the club. Tomlinson would have received more money in a decreased role due to age and injuries as well as the team moving towards a pass oriented offense.

Fantasy Impact: At the age of 29 L.T. still has a few years ahead of him and as one of the greatest RB's since the year 2000 and will likely be playing for another club soon.

Update: Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports the Carolina Panthers will not use their franchise tag on DE Julius Peppers and let him test free agency, according to WCNC Television's Ira Cronin. Team officials have declined to confirm or deny the story, but there has been speculation the team would let him walk.

Fantasy Impact: Peppers was expected to do much more for the team this season but struggled at times and never seemed to live up to what was expected of him.

            Running back LaDanian Tomlinson has been released by the San Diego Chargers. After nine years with the franchise, Tomlinson has accrued 12,490 yards rushing,  3955 receiving and 153 total touchdowns. Tomlinson has been the most productive running back in Chargers have ever had, however in recent years he has not been as effective as in years back. In 2006, he won the MVP, had 31 touchdowns and averaged about 113 yards per game rushing (both of which were career highs). That season seemed to be the crest of Tomlinson’s career for his stats have steadily fallen since that year.

            The Chargers will pay Tomlinson 1 million dollars as was part of the release clause of his contract. As for teams that Tomlinson may be going to, there haven’t been many blatant offers yet, but there are many teams such as Seattle or Kansas City who have not had solid play at running back. In the mean time, Tomlinson has said that he will continue to train extensively in the hopes that he can join a team and eventually win a championship.
