NFL NEWS AND NOTES

The Tennessean reports that the Titans have become interested in acquiring RB Willis McGahee from the Bills. The team lost RB Travis Henry last week in a salary cap move, and he signed with Denver. That said, the Ravens appear to be the front-runner to get McGahee, according to numerous sources, and they should step up their efforts now that their starter, RB Jamal Lewis, has signed with the Browns. The Ravens are looking to make that deal happen soon and are believed to be in negotiations with McGahee on a contract extension. The Ravens are expected to trade a first-day pick for the Bills' running back.....

AtlantaFalcons.com reports that free agent WR Joe Horn has agreed to a deal with the Falcons and will play for them in 2007. The contract comes a week after the Saints cut Horn in a salary cap move.

Free agent running back Jamal Lewis agreed to a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns. Lewis was released last week in a salary-cap move by Baltimore, which elected not to pay their career rushing leader a $5 million roster bonus. He'll now join the Browns, Baltimore's AFC North rival, who were last in the league in rushing in 2006. "We are pleased to add Jamal Lewis to our team," Browns GM Phil Savage said. "He is a proven NFL back who brings a toughness and demeanor to the game that his teammates and our fans will appreciate."....


Chargers WR Malcom Floyd agreed to his one-year tender offer, remaining with the team next year. He was an exclusive-rights free agent, which meant that he couldn't sign elsewhere if he wanted to. The tall, lanky wideout caught 15 passes for 210 yards and three scores, with 109 yards and a score in Week 13 against the Bengals. He ended the year on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain.....


The Rocky Mountain News reports that Dre Bly's agent says his client is happy in Denver and doesn't want to be traded. "Obviously, he's very excited to be there and has not expressed anything else," the agent said.

The New Orleans Saints agreed to terms on a one-year contract with free agent tight end Eric Johnson on Wednesday. Johnson, with San Francisco 49ers the last six years, will compete for playing time with Mark Campbell and recently re-signed Billy Miller. "Eric will be a good fit in our offense," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "He has played in a system in the past that has featured the tight end, he has good hands, and he knows how to find the openings in the coverage for the kind of catches that move the chains. He is the type of player we were looking for to plug in at tight end."
