The player movement around the league continues, albeit at a slower pace, as mid-level free agents start to find new teams.

  • WR Brandon Stokley has agreed to a one-year deal with the Broncos. Stokley, 30, figures to play a prominent role behind expected starters Javon Walker and Brandon Marshall. Rod Smith, 36, is expected to miss the next four months following Feb. 26 hip surgery.

  • S Adam Archuleta, who had a very disappointing 2006 with the Redskins, has reportedly been traded to Chicago for a sixth-round pick. Archuleta was due a $5 mllion bonus on Wednesday as part of a seven-year, $35 million deal he signed last offseason.

  • DE Courtney Brown was released by the Broncos after he reportedly failed a physical.

  • LB Chris Draft signed a three-year deal with St. Louis, where he could be asked to serve as the top backup at all three spots.

  • FB Vonta Leach, a restricted free agent, signed a four-year, $7 million offer with the Giants. The Texans have seven days to match or lose Leach for no compensation because he was tendered at just $850,000.

  • LB Colby Bockwoldt signed with the 49ers. Bockwoldt (6-2, 237) previously played with the New Orleans Saints from 2004-05 and with the Tennessee Titans in 2006. He has played in 48 NFL games and accumulated 156 tackles.

  • TE Jerramy Stevens, an unrestricted free agent, will not be offered a contract by the Seahawks. Stevens was arrested in Arizona last week on suspicion of drunk driving and possession of marijuana. “I would say it’s probably a time for a change of scenery and to move on,” Seahawks GM Tim Ruskell said March 20.

  • LB Cato June signed with the Bucs for a reported three-year deal believed to be worth around $12 million.

  • LB Kurt Campbell, a 2005 seventh-round pick, was released by Green Bay.

  • DE Bo Schobel (not tendered as RFA by Colts 3/1) re-signed with the Colts.
