Share with others:
Quarterback Jason Campbell signed his $3.1 million tender Monday with the Washington Redskins, taking him off the market as a restricted free agent while leaving open the possibility of a trade. Campbell was given permission to explore a trade after Donovan McNabb was acquired from Philadelphia last week. Campbell couldn't find a team that would make a suitable offer to him as a restricted free agent, so he signed the tender.
Tennessee agreed to terms with Chris Simms, bringing back a quarterback they had in 2008 as he worked himself back into shape.
Starting linebacker Leroy Hill was arrested for investigation of domestic violence in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah, days after reaching a plea deal on a marijuana charge in Georgia.

Former NFL linebacker Lee Woodall is accused of using a $400,000 minority-business loan from a Pennsylvania state agency to finance lavish spending on trips, cars and jewelry. The state attorney general's office said Woodall obtained the loan from the Pennsylvania Minority Business Development Authority to open a Chester County fitness facility in May 2005. He's charged with theft.
