I've heard rumors about DT/DE Buffalo Bills Alex Carrington.

The other guys got them all. Carrington, Colledge, and Joseph are the only visits.

This is the latest information about them:

What is status of Rams interest in Kenny Britt (still young but doesnt seem like an upgrade) from Tenn and Antonio Smith (don't know much about him) from Houston?

There's a lot of good info about free agents on this thread. As to the two players you mentioned...

Britt drawing interest, taking time

In the early weeks of the 2011 season, it appeared that Kenny Britt was destined to become one of the best receivers in the game. With 136 receiving yards in Week One and 135 in Week Two, Britt was on his way.

And then an ACL tear killed Kenny. Or at least his career.

A Pacman-style slew of off-field incidents didn’t help matters. Even though Britt has matured, his game hasn’t recovered. Lost and forgotten in 2013, Britt caught 11 passes for 96 yards — for the entire season.

He’s now a free agent, and the expectation is that he’ll take his time in selecting a new team. Per a league source, four or five franchises are interested.

The Redskins reportedly are keen on Kenny. The coach who drafted him in Tennessee, Jeff Fisher, currently runs the Rams — and needs receivers.

Then there are the Patriots, who have developed a pipeline to Piscataway in recent years, gobbling up former Rutgers players. Britt played for Bill Belichick’s BFF at Rutgers, which would attract New England’s interest.

It nevertheless remains a buyer’s market for wideouts, which doesn’t bode well for a guy who hasn’t played well in three years.

Free-agent Antonio Smith to visit Redskins, Titans and Raiders
Posted on March 11, 2014 by John McClain

Defensive end Antonio Smith said today he has visits lined up with Washington, Tennessee, St. Louis and Oakland.

Smith, 32, is a 10-year veteran who started the last five seasons with the Texans after playing his first five seasons with the Cardinals.

“My heart’s with (Texans), but they haven’t made me an offer, so I’m going to take these visits,” Smith said.

The Texans are hoping to keep Smith but at a price they believe fits within their budget.

Smith is a solid all-around player who’s durable and plays inside in a 4-3 and outside in a 3-4. In his five seasons with the Texans, he missed only two starts. The only game he missed over the last four seasons was a one-game suspension last year for swinging his helmet at Miami guard Richie Incognito.
