New England Patriots

On Tuesday morning, five areas of interest for the Patriots' organized team activity were listed. Here is a follow-up based on what we saw on Tuesday's session: 1. Early signs of Brady-Amendola synergy. This came through as clearly as it could in an organized team activity setting. At one point, Tom Brady worked with Danny Amendola on the quick pass that was often a staple with the QB and Wes Welker, while most of the entire team was on the other field for special-teams work.

INDIANAPOLIS — Now that the NFL has picked its two newest Super Bowl winners, San Francisco and Houston, Indianapolis organizers can start making their pitch to host a second title game.Later this summer, the city's bid committee is expected to formally approve a motion that would allow the formal bidding process to begin.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jake Locker believes the best way to be a leader is by doing, not talking. It's why the Titans quarterback worked so hard on his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery to be ready for the team's offseason program.So when the Titans start their organized team activities next week, Locker will be ready to throw without limitations. It's just as he expected when he had surgery approximately 20 weeks ago to fix his left, non-throwing shoulder that popped out joint repeatedly in his first season as a starter.

CLEVELAND — The Browns signed running back Brandon Jackson to a 1-year contract, bringing him back after two seasons in which he never got to showcase his versatility.Jackson, who only played in two games last season, was re-signed by the club on Tuesday, among a flurry of moves as the Browns began their second week of OTAs (organized team activities) under coach Rob Chudzinski.The team also signed rookie safety Jamoris Slaughter to a 4-year contract and released safety Eric Hagg, a seventh-round pick in 2011.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Perrish Cox. Jonathan Wilhite. Drayton Florence. Tracy Porter. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie?Chris Harris has had a penchant for beating out veteran cornerbacks ever since joining the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Kansas in 2011.He rose from the bottom of the depth chart his rookie season, greasing Cox's release and winning the nickel cornerback job over Wilhite, then fended off free agents Florence and Porter last year to win the starting job on the right side.

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals have signed free agent rookie wide receiver Charles Hawkins and waived-injured wide receiver Javone Lawson.The 5-foot-8 Hawkins played at Southern under then-coach Stump Mitchell, now the Cardinals running backs coach on the staff of new head coach Bruce Arians.Lawson was waived with an Achilles injury.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers are using their spring practices as a chance to get their reconfigured offensive line accustomed to their new roles.Although offseason team activities began Monday, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday's practice was the first to feature 11-on-11 work after the first day of practice focused on fundamentals and position drills.McCarthy made the change last month. The five players — Bryan Bulaga, Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, Marshall Newhouse and Don Barclay were moved around.

SAN DIEGO — Left tackle Max Starks agreed to a one-year contract with the San Diego Chargers to help protect Philip Rivers' blind side.Starks, who is 6-foot-8 and 345 pounds, spent his first nine seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played every offensive snap for the Steelers last year despite tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Steelers' playoff loss at Denver the previous season.

Although this is the first week Tom Brady and Danny Amendola have been on the field together during official workouts, the quarterback and one of his newest receivers began getting acquainted in early April.
