From the Green Bay Press Gazette.
First, the agent for Keith Barlow says the Bills are among the teams to have contacted him:
Of course, it could just be the agent trying to drum up interest in his client by naming the teams that are RB-needy.
Later on, there is this note:
They mention Tony Fisher, who seems like a good, cheap option as a backup RB if his knee is sound. He catches the ball well, and would be a good fit in Fairchild's offense, IMO (although teams are probably waiting for him to heal, so he probably won't sign until camp).
Finally, a Corey Dillon note:
I think Dillon ends up retiring.
First, the agent for Keith Barlow says the Bills are among the teams to have contacted him:
Hend-rickson said Buffalo, Tennessee and Indian-apolis also have inquired about Barlow, 28.
Later on, there is this note:
It is believed Buffalo and Detroit were close to a deal with former Tennessee Titans back Chris Brown but backed off when the price got too high. The Packers have been in contact with Brown's agent, Wynn Silberman, who did not return a message Monday afternoon.
Tony Fisher would be interested in returning to the Packers, agent Bradley Blank said Monday, but the team with which Fisher started his NFL career hasn't dialed his number.
"I was looking at some stuff the other day, and I was thinking, 'Why haven't they called?'" Blank said. "It seems like a great fit."
Fisher, 27, is looking for a new home after his first year with the St. Louis Rams ended at midseason because of a knee injury. The Rams and Oakland Raiders have expressed interest in him, Blank said, but are waiting until next month to work him out, when Fisher expects to have full cutting ability.
Fisher rushed for 880 yards and caught 125 passes in four seasons with the Packers after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame. But he had just 9 yards on six carries and 14 receptions in eight games with the Rams before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on a kick return Nov. 5. His recovery is on schedule, Blank said.

Nor have the Packers contacted Corey Dillon, the 32-year-old former Cincinnati and New England back.
"He knows the days of carrying the ball 20 times a game, 25 times a game are gone," said Dillon's agent, Steven Feldman. "But he'd like to carry it 10, 12, 15 times."
Feldman said Dillon is keeping his options open, but wants to join a team "on the verge of the playoffs."
