Adam Schefter said:WR Jerome Simpson reached agreement with Vikings on a 1-year deal.

The Atlanta Falcons kept working on changing tight end Tony Gonzalez's mind, whittling away at the "95% chance" that he was going to retire. All that work has paid off.
Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reported Tuesday that Gonzalez has informed the Falcons that he is coming back and the two sides are working on a new contract.
"After discussing it with my family and really, truly struggling with this decision I informed the Falcons I would like to return for one more shot," Gonzalez told Glazer.
Gonzo is the best tight end available in a deep market, but he doesn't sound interested in shopping his wares to other teams. The Falcons should be prepared for this moment; they have created salary cap room by releasing veterans like Dunta Robinson, John Abraham, and Michael Turner. Gonzalez is older than all of them, but he's also playing at a Pro Bowl level.
The Falcons offense could still use a running back, but their passing game should remain dynamic with Gonzalez sandwiched between Julio Jones and Roddy White. A deal is never "done" until the ink is dry, but it would be very surprising if the Falcons can't close a deal quickly.
My day just got betterFalcons update:
I love percy but I hope he is hurt when the Vikings play the Seahawks next year.
He scares me.
He's only "hurt" when he's pissed off. If he's making Fitz money and hitting the Seattle nightclub scene on the regular he'll be healthy.

As usual, the AJC is about 10 minutes late to the Tony Gonzalez story.
The sports media in Atlanta gets scooped by national outlets more than any other city in the country.
We have the softest media in the country. You pretty much have to pull a Mike Vick to get criticized by anyone - radio, newspaper or otherwise.I will fight you. STL media has never once broke a Rams story. They are good with the Cardinals but I think that's more to do with the lack of a large national baseball media
Another typical day in IRC-Land:
If he ever gets his head straight and out of his ass, there's reason to fear him.I love percy but I hope he is hurt when the Vikings play the Seahawks next year.
He scares me.
So is DRC still good and not give a shit in Philly, or is he done?
San Francisco's safety play cost them the Super Bowl and almost cost them the NFC Championship game.
Wes you haven't given us a new god.
Oh dear god my body can't wait.
First time I'm super hyped for free agency!
Wes you haven't given us a new god.

I'm watching you Slo and BannedEpisode!
BTW how does one become an insider for any league? Like what did Jay Glazer do to become the guy who knows everything and everyone and breaks all the news?

Glazer's a brochowski that won't ever publish a negative story about the NFL. And he's involved with MMA training, so apparently he has connections across the EC with athletes due to that.
Same way that Berman unofficially became the spokesperson of the NFL.
You have to be very brave to be paid that much money and show up that fat for training camp. Almost as brave as waving a twenty dollar bill around on the streets of Baltimore.A true American hero.
Pardon? I may have missed what I was supposed to do.
When healthy Vollmer is a stud and one of the best tackles in the game. Recently he has had some back issues. He had a down year last year due to injury but he was still good. Guy is a beastPats fans what is the word on Sebastian Vollmer? Good? Ok? Made to look good because of Brady?
I so want to get our RT from FA.
This defense is going to kill LeBeau.@ greggrosenthal

So what happened to Anquan Boldin saying he'd rather retire than play for another team in the league?
