Jerry Rice became a Bronco, signing a one-year deal for the veteran minimum of $765,000 and a $25,000 signing bonus. He brings three Super Bowl rings, legendary work ethic and some serious question marks: Can he earn a spot of the Broncos' roster? Can Rice accept the role of being a No. 4, or even a No. 5, receiver? Most of all, can Rice still play at an NFL level?

In another sign he intends to return to the NFL, running back Ricky Williams, who retired last summer after failing a third drug test, has requested to be reinstated in the league's drug-testing program. The program would be a requirement of Williams' reinstatement and includes being subject to as many as 10 tests a month.

Browns coach Romeo Crennel said he'd like to bring former Patriots cornerback Ty Law in for a visit. Law, 31, has drawn interest from about six teams and recently visited the Lions and Dolphins. Lions President Matt Millen said two weeks ago he thought Law could contribute, but didn't sign him. The Chiefs were interested in signing him before the draft, but traded with Miami for cornerback Patrick Surtain instead. The Jets, Steelers and Colts have also expressed interest.

Free agent cornerback R.W. McQuarters met with Redskins officials yesterday and dined with them last night, and could depart today with a new contract. He is expected to sign for considerably less than his previous contract, and the Redskins are not the only team to express interest in him.

Hines Ward isn't the only Steelers player hoping to get a contract extension. He's just the only one the Steelers are negotiating with at the moment. The others, apparently, will have to wait either until Ward comes to an agreement or talks reach an impasse with him before the club opens negotiations with anyone else.

Free-agent offensive tackle L.J. Shelton, a former first-round pick released by the Arizona Cardinals last week, was scheduled to begin a two-day visit with the Texans today.
