Today's a little light in the Bears' news department, sadly enough. Let's catch you up to date on what's happened elsewhere.

• Contrary to one blogger's erroneous and inane postings, Peyton Manning isn't in the running for Miami, and is instead being wooed by the Titans, who he threw for in a workout.
• Guard Evan Mathis re-upped with the Eagles for a five-year deal. In other offensive linemen deals, center Chris Myers is staying with the Texans for four years, and Packers Pro Bowl center Scott Wells heads to St. Louis on a 4-year, $24 million contract with $13 million guaranteed. Also, Matt Birk stayed with the Ravens.
• Titans' lineman Jason Jones is now Seattle Seahawks' lineman Jason Jones, under the promise of playing defensive tackle.
• Tom Zbikowski signed up to play safety for the Colts, rejoining former Ravens' coordinator Chuck Pagano.
• The Patriots are seemingly close to a deal with former Bears, Broncos, Rams, and seemingly everywhere receiver Brandon Lloyd, and while Lloyd wants to be a Patriot (supposedly), the Patriots are adamant in wanting him to bring his asking price down. Supposedly Lloyd's agent has some perpetual tiff with the Patriots.
• Billy Volek was cut by the Chargers, and Charlie Whitehurst was signed in his place.
• WR Jerricho Cotchery will visit the Chiefs next week, Mike Tolbert will not be a Steeler, and the cap-rich Bengals finally signed their first free agent, guard Travelle Wharton from Carolina.
