Looks like the NFC south and west are the most active. The NFC north are a bunch of dodo birds.

[woodbuck27]

I believe that the inactivity is a reflection of the (not deep) value available.

GRANT SIGNS WITH SEAHAWKS

On the same day that defensive end Grant Wistrom was sent packing in Seattle, the Seahawks agreed to terms with safety Deon Grant.

Per John Clayton of ESPN.com, the deal is worth more than $30 million over six years. The signing bonus reportedly is in excess of the $11.1 million received by Roy Williams of the Cowboys.

Usually, the big money has begun to dry up after the first week of free agency. But because many teams have been cautious -- and possibly because the Seahawks swung and missed on Kris Dielman -- Seattle was still in a position to drop some more of that Microsoft money.

The addition of Grant means that safety Ken Hamlin most likely won't be back. And, surprisingly, Hamlin has drawn little interest in free agency, having a cup of coffee with the Saints but not much more than that.

Clayton characterizes Grant's package as the third-richest in the league at the safety position. Three others -- Chris Hope of the Titans, Adam Archuleta of the Redskins, and Michael Lewis of the 49ers -- have six-year, $30 million deals.

But as Howard Balzer of the Sports Xchange pointed out last night, the premature release of Wistrom illustrates that there is a lot of potential fluff in these free-agent deals.

The key focal points are, and should be, the guaranteed money and the payout over the first three years.

After year three, there's a chance that the guy won't be around.

Just ask Wistrom.

He's young and was certainly productive in 2006.

It could be that his price is too high today.

'cause he is a major injury liability. Wasn't he stabbed in the head?

I can't say this for sure, but my gut says due to what occurred there may be character risks associated.

FOR SIX TEAMS, NO NEW FREE AGENTS

Since free agency opened two weeks ago, 26 teams have signed players who spent the 2006 season with other teams.

Six teams, to date, have not signed a single free agent who played elsewhere last year.

The Bengals, Ravens, Chargers, Giants, Bears, and Panthers are the franchises who have opted thus far to stand pat. Of that group, both the Giants and the Ravens have traded for new running backs. But none of this six-pack of teams has inked a new veteran player.

Four other teams have signed only one new player.

The Colts recently inked quarterback John Navarre, a third-year player who received no free-agent tender from the Cardinals. The Packers signed cornerback Frank Walker earlier this week. The Steelers signed offensive lineman Sean Mahan over the weekend. And the Titans recently snagged cornerback Nick Harper.

The most active team to date has been the Bucs, with seven new players under contract. The Browns have signed six, and the 49ers, Raiders, and Patriots have signed five.

Signed deal:

The Packers finally got a signed contract from cornerback Frank Walker, who agreed to terms Tuesday.

"We think he's a tough guy," Thompson said. "Good special-teams player. Had a good workout for us. I think he can play."

A personnel director for an AFC team said he eliminated Walker from consideration because of his arrest in February 2005 for possession of a stolen vehicle.

One of his agents, Frank Murtha, said charges were dropped but the car was taken from Walker by authorities.

"He lost a car and a bunch of money," Thompson said. "Best I can tell, he got duped. I feel pretty good about that. All they did was take the car because it was a stolen car."

Coming out of Tuskegee in 2003, Walker took the Wonderlic intelligence test twice. His scores were 14 and 19.


Odds and ends: The Packers tried to get St. Louis wide receiver Kevin Curtis in for a visit but on Thursday he signed with Philadelphia. . . .

The Packers were one of four teams that discussed trading for fullback Terrelle Smith before Cleveland cut him Wednesday.
