NFL: Chargers reach deal for linebacker Freeney

Dwight Freeney, a top linebacker who helped the Indianapolis Colts win the 2007 Super Bowl, agreed to a two-year deal with the San Diego Chargers on Saturday, the NFL club announced. The move came five days after the Chargers lost linebacker Melvin Ingram to a torn left knee ligament during an off-season training session, an injury that could sideline him for the entire 2013 campaign.

NFL Team Report - New York Jets - INSIDE SLANT It wouldn't be the New York Jets without a controversy at quarterback. At Friday's rookie minicamp, coach Rex Ryan said quarterback Geno Smith looked fine. Smith gave himself an F. Ryan's assessment of Smith's first practice: "He can really spin it," Ryan said of Smith's tight spirals to open the Jets' minicamp. The second-round pick, drafted 39th overall, wasn't quite as positive.

NFL Team Report - San Diego Chargers - INSIDE SLANT The draft has come and gone and sadly for the Chargers, they still have a gaping hole at left tackle.

NFL Team Report - Atlanta Falcons - INSIDE SLANT Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff does not believe that the team needs an experienced quarterback to back up Matt Ryan. "It's not unsettling at all," Dimitroff said about not having a veteran backup behind Ryan. "Where Matt is with his development, this is a time, in our mind, that we can bring a guy like Dom Davis up and continue to develop him."

Denver Broncos - TeamReport

NFL Team Report - Denver Broncos - INSIDE SLANT Replacing Elvis Dumervil takes more than just one player. Even if the Broncos had more actively pursued Dwight Freeney or John Abraham, neither of them alone would have filled in for Elvis Dumervil. While they would have played on pass-rush downs, the base-package work would have still belonged to Robert Ayers.

Pittsburgh Steelers - TeamReport

NFL Team Report - Pittsburgh Steelers - INSIDE SLANT Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said before the draft that he did not expect any rookie to have an impact on the Steelers' 2013 season. That has changed, and not necessarily with their first-round pick, Jarvis Jones. While Jones certainly could develop quickly enough to start at right outside linebacker to replace James Harrison, there is little doubt that Pittsburgh's second-round pick will start.
