San Diego wasted no time or expense in re-signing safety Eric Weddle to a 5 year, $40 million contract. The deal includes $19 million guaranteed and a $13 million signing bonus, making Weddle the highest-paid player at his position. See Jason La Canfora's report on NFL.com for more details.
San Francisco also re-signed quarterback Alex Smith for another season as they develop draft pick Colin Kaepernick to take over the signal calling duties. Smith stands to make around $5 million this year.
Tennessee signed veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to lead the team and groom draft pick Jake Locker for the future. The move makes sense after the team announced it will part ways with Vince Young and Kerry Collins retired. The Titans couldn't go into the season with a rookie and a second-year player (Rusty Smith) at quarterback, but they also signed Brett Ratliff to a futures contract before the lockout began. Rat and Simms appear to be the odd men out with Hasselbeck coming in from Seattle.
