NFL Network's Adam Shefter reports that Charles Tillman on a six-year extension through 2013 worth $41.5 million, with $18.5 million in guarantees.
Chicago signed Nathan Vasher to a similar extension last month, so the Bears have one of the best young cornerback tandems locked up for six seasons. Tillman got $2.9 million more guaranteed, although the deal is probably backloaded. Tillman has been inconsistent as a pro, but was one of the league's best in 2006.
I wonder how under valued Asante Samuel must be feeling right about now.
Ravens signed fifth-round QB Troy Smith to a three-year contract.
We're not sure if Smith is viewed by Baltimore as a potential QB of the future, but coordinator Rick Neuheisel should have a good idea by the end of his first season. Smith does have learning from Steve McNair on his side.
