Brian De La Puente - C - Saints

Saints re-signed exclusive rights free agent C Brian De La Puente.

The smallish but technical De La Puente replaced free agent bust Olin Kreutz early last season, and New Orleans' running game took off after a slow start. De La Puente is hardly a dominant center or long-term solution, but Saints beat writer Larry Holder expects the 27-year-old to retain his starting job for 2012.

Brian De La Puente - C - Saints

49ers signed G/C Brian De La Puente to a reserve/future contract.

De La Puente's long-term ceiling is no higher than a versatile interior reserve lineman. He'll have a hard time cracking San Francisco's 2010 roster.

Brian De La Puente - C - Saints

Seahawks claimed OL Brian De La Puente off waivers from the Chiefs.

The Seattle Times calls De La Puente "a guard and tackle." The 'Hawks' line is already in terrifically bad shape, but it'll be even uglier if the 6'2/308-pounder gets reps outside. Ideally, De La Puente won't be on the roster.

Brian De La Puente - C - Saints

Chiefs waived G Brian De La Puente.

De La Puente was not a highly thought of prospect coming out of Cal this past April, but the Chiefs signed him away from San Francisco, who was set to put him on their practice squad. He's likely to go on the Chiefs' practice squad.

Graham, entering a contract year, is going to want to be paid as a receiver whether it's on a long-term deal or franchise tag. He could command upwards of $12 million annually. "We're going to put people in different spots all the time to get them open," said Payton. "Whatever we have to do is not going to be dictated by the interpretation of some rule. We're just going to try to win." Mar 22
