Free agent WR Steve Breaston doesn't need Regenokine knee therapy.

Free agent Steve Breaston is considering Regenokine therapy in an effort to cure persistent knee inflammation and early arthritic symptoms.

This explains a lot. Breaston has battled right knee problems on and off since 2009. They significantly affected his effectiveness late in his Cardinals tenure, and likely cost him explosiveness in Kansas City. Breaston has visited the Browns and Steelers, but neither signed him -- most likely because his right knee is a major issue again. Regenokine has been undergone by Kobe Bryant, Grant Hill, Alex Rodriguez, and most recently Gosder Cherilus.

The Steelers will not sign free agent Steve Breaston right now.

Breaston visited Pittsburgh on Friday after meeting with the Browns on Thursday, but neither team is interested in signing him at the moment. "[The Steelers] may revisit him later if he remains unsigned," says beat writer Ed Bouchette. Breaston will continue his tour, but it's uncertain where the next stop is.

The Browns are not expected to try to sign free agent WR Steve Breaston.

Breaston met with the Browns on Wednesday and left without an offer. Entering his age-30 season, he wouldn't have been an upgrade on Josh Gordon or Greg Little. Breaston will meet with old friend Todd Haley and the Steelers either Thursday or Friday.

Free agent Steve Breaston will meet with the Browns on Thursday and the Steelers on Friday.

Breaston was originally expected to visit the Steelers first. Any time a player makes a visit, there's a chance they won't leave, so it gives the Browns a leg up on Pittsburgh. If the money is equal, though, it would make far more sense for Breaston to reunite with his former head coach and offensive coordinator Todd Haley in Pittsburgh.

Free agent WR Steve Breaston will meet with the Steelers on Thursday or Friday.

Breaston is from the Pittsburgh area, knows offensive coordinator Todd Haley from their time together with the Cardinals and free agent Mike Wallace is moving on. The fit almost seems too perfect. The Cowboys, Browns and Titans also reportedly have interest in Breaston.
Feb 26 - 12:44 PM

League sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Cowboys have shown interest in free agent Steve Breaston.

Owner Jerry Jones went on the record Sunday saying Miles Austin will be back with the team in 2013. That means the Cowboys would be trying to woo Breaston as a strict No. 3 wideout. It's a tough sell as the Steelers can offer a reunion with OC Todd Haley, a chance to compete with Emmanuel Sanders for the No. 2 job and an opportunity for Breaston to return to his hometown of Pittsburgh.

In addition to the Steelers and Browns, the Titans have "some interest" in free agent Steve Breaston.

Breaston has already visited the Steelers and will meet with the Browns on Tuesday. The Titans are not known to have set up a visit yet. Breaston, 29, is a middling talent despite solid statistics posted with Kurt Warner at quarterback in Arizona. He's a No. 3-caliber wide receiver at absolute best.

Free agent Steve Breaston will meet with the Browns on Tuesday.

The Steelers met with Breaston's agent at the Combine, but the sides apparently won't work out a deal in Indy. CBS' Jason La Canfora considers Pittsburgh the "favorites" to land the former Chief and Cardinal. NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala reports Breaston has also drawn interest from the Cowboys, Lions, and Titans.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora says the Steelers are the "favorites" to sign free agent Steve Breaston.

A source with knowledge of the situation tells Profootballtalk.com Breaston's rep is meeting with the Steelers on Sunday. According to La Canfora, Breaston has drawn interest from "several teams," including the Browns, but a reunion with OC Todd Haley in Breaston's hometown of Pittsburgh is "likely." He played a lot in the slot in 2011, but he was mainly used on the outside under Haley in Arizona. Breaston can sign immediately.

Free agent Steve Breaston said he is open to signing with the Steelers, but he's more interested in finding a team that will allow him to play.

"I know of the Pittsburgh tradition and the winning ways and it would be a great team to be involved with, but for me, it is all about using this process," Breaston said. "I have to take everything in and see what would be a good fit for me and where I can come in and play." The Steelers and Breaston's agent are expected to meet at the Combine. He can sign immediately.

The Steelers will meet with free agent Steve Breaston's agent at the Combine.

Breaston was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday, and the Steelers were immediately connected to his name. Breaston grew up in the Pittsburgh area, and OC Todd Haley was the offensive coordinator for the best season of Breaston's career in 2008 with the Cardinals. He'll likely come cheap after a disastrous season that saw him catch seven passes.
Feb 21 - 2:01 PM

ESPN's Bill Williamson suggests the Chargers as a possible fit for free agent Steve Breaston.

Breaston's old coach in Arizona, Ken Whisenhunt, is now the Chargers' offensive coordinator. Their top-three wideouts appear set in Danario Alexander, Malcom Floyd and Vincent Brown, but Breaston could provide quality depth. He's essentially coming off a year off after catching just seven balls in 10 games for the Chiefs.

Feb 20 - 8:24 AM

ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley expects free agent Steve Breaston to "certainly interest" the Steelers.

Steelers OC Todd Haley was Breaston's offensive coordinator for the best season of his career in 2008, and head coach for his second-best in 2011. Breaston is coming off a disastrous season, but is just two years removed from a 61/785/2 line under Haley. Breaston could be cheap, veteran insurance for a team that's up against the cap and likely to lose No. 1 receiver Mike Wallace.

Chiefs released WR Steve Breaston.

The Chiefs also released TE Kevin Boss. Signed to a five-year, $22.55 million deal after the lockout, Breaston posted a 61/785/2 line in 2011 before mysteriously landing in former coach Romeo Crennel's doghouse last season. Breaston was a healthy scratch six times down the stretch, and caught just seven passes in 10 games. That, coupled with the fact that he'll turn 30 in August should limit Breaston's market, but he'll still get a chance to latch on somewhere in camp provided he's healthy. Breaston's previously troublesome right knee wasn't an issue during his two seasons in Kansas City.
