Terrell McClain - DL - Cowboys

Cowboys signed DT Terrell McClain to a three-year contract.

The Texans declined to tender McClain in restricted free agency, which would've only cost them $1.431 million. A smallish (6'2/293) defensive tackle going on age 26, McClain graded out slightly above average in Pro Football Focus' 2013 run defense grades, and negatively as a pass rusher. He's not going to make a difference in Dallas, but the Cowboys simply need bodies up front.

M.D. Jennings - DB - Bears

Bears agreed to terms with S M.D. Jennings, formerly of the Packers, on a one-year contract.

Jennings was a 16-game starter for the Pack last season, but not an effective one, struggling mightily in coverage. The Bears have one of the league's weakest collection of safeties, however, so Jennings will definitely be in the mix to start. The Bears shouldn't be done adding bodies to the back line of their defense.

Jon Beason - LB - Giants

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Giants are in "heated discussions" with free agent MLB Jon Beason.

News emerged Wednesday that the Broncos wants to sign Beason, which has perhaps expedited talks with the G-Men. The Giants' middle linebacker depth chart is currently all but barren, with special teamer Mark Herzlich at the top. Beason is 29, but likely has the body of a 33- or 34-year-old due to injuries.

Owen Daniels - TE - Free Agent

Free agent Owen Daniels is visiting the Packers.

With Jermichael Finley likely moving on in free agency and Andrew Quarless possibly following him, the "depth" is missing from the Packers' tight end depth chart. Now 31, Daniels is in the twilight of his career, but would be a reliable chain mover for Aaron Rodgers if he could stay healthy. Daniels missed 11 games with a broken leg last season.

Jared Allen - DL - Vikings

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports free agent Jared Allen is threatening to retire if no team meets his contract demands.

As Sporting News' Ross Tucker quipped, "When your leverage is a 'won't play' media leak, it's fair to say your market is very disappointing." Per RapSheet, Allen "wants his market value, his fair salary," and "if he does not get it, Jared Allen is very much at peace." It's possible that threatening to retire will further sink Allen's market. Rapoport also reported Allen has a "ton of admiration for Barry Sanders," who retired at age 30. Allen turns 32 in April.

Vance Walker - DL - Raiders

The Raiders have made free agent DT Vance Walker an offer, but he's "scanning the market."

Playing on a one-year deal last season, Walker was an acceptable run plugger, but isn't worth overpaying. If he's not open to a take-it-or-leave-it offer, the Raiders should let him leave it.

Steve Smith - WR - Panthers

Steve Smith's agent says he's "not going to play for the Panthers next year."

"I know that," Smith's rep said. "I just don't know when that transaction is going to take place." By admitting the obvious, Smith's camp is putting the public onus on the Panthers to resolve the situation. The Panthers are trying to find a trade partner, but there aren't going to be any takers for a 35-year-old (in May) wideout who's due $7 million in 2014. It's time for both sides to move on.

Jason Avant - WR - Free Agent

The Patriots have shown interest in free agent Jason Avant.

The Chiefs have also been linked to Avant. Turning 31 in April, Avant has always lacked playmaking ability despite sure hands and plus character. No matter Avant's free agency destination, he will be an underwhelming addition.
