Carolina released quarterback David Carr on Wednesday and came to terms with receiver Muhsin Muhammad on a two-year contract.
Carr was let go a year after he signed a $6 million, two-year deal with the Panthers following a five-year stint as a starter in Houston. But Carr struggled so badly when he took over for the injured Jake Delhomme last season that he was eventually demoted to third-string.
Titans re-sign GageTennessee Titans receiver Justin Gage agreed to a multiyear contract to remain with the team. Gage led the team with 750 receiving yards and tied Roydell Williams for most receptions with 55.
Favre expected backNew Packers president Mark Murphy said he believes quarterback Brett Favre will return for another season.
"My guess is that he's going to come back," Murphy said. "The team has gotten better around him and is in a position to really do great things next year."

In 2007, when Brian Westbrook pulled the same trick, the fantasy football community nearly melted the Internet's tubing with sob stories and "How could he do that to us?" rants. But after Sunday, when MJD helped the Jaguars control the clock in the final minute and get the victory by taking a knee a foot in front of the goal line, there were millions of geek heads nodding in approval. "Yeah, good idea. Smart move. It's OK if it cost me six fantasy points." Have we fantasy freaks lost our freakiness? Have the geeks gone mild? More
