NFL-FREE AGENCY

Graham to the Seahawks...Big QB swap in Philly...Revis back with Jets

UNDATED (AP) — Trades have overshadowed the opening day of free agency in the NFL.

Seattle has acquired tight end Jimmy Graham from New Orleans in exchange for center Max Unger. Graham is considered one of the top pass catching tight ends in the league. He has caught at least 85 passes in each of the past four seasons. Two seasons ago, he had 1,215 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns. Unger has been Seattle's starting center since his rookie year, but was limited to six games last season due to injuries.

Two people familiar with the trade say the Philadelphia Eagles and St. Louis Rams have agreed to swap quarterbacks Nick Foles and Sam Bradford. Both spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams are still working on the draft picks involved in the deal. Bradford hasn't played since his 2013 season ended after he twice tore his left ACL.

Foles had a breakout season for the Eagles in 2013 and was offensive MVP of the Pro Bowl. He missed the last eight games in 2014 after breaking his collarbone.

The Ravens have traded nine-year defensive tackle Haloti Ngata to the Detroit Lions. The Ravens will receive a fourth- and fifth-round pick for Ngata and a seventh-round selection, according to a report on the Lions' website. Ngata is due $8.5 million next season and has a $16 million salary cap figure. The 31-year-old Ngata is a five-time Pro Bowler. He started in 12 games last season before serving a four-game suspension for using Adderall.

In other moves:

— The Jets dug into their past to bring back All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, according to his agents. Revis goes from the Jets' archrival Patriots, whom he helped win the Super Bowl last month, to his NFL roots. The deal is for five years and $70 million, with $39 million guaranteed.

— A person with knowledge of the agreement says free agent wide receiver Torrey Smith, formerly of Baltimore, has reached a five-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, pending a physical. The 26-year-old Smith had 49 receptions for 767 yards and 11 touchdowns last season with the Ravens.

— Running back LeSean McCoy says he's happy to be somewhere he's appreciated after being traded to Buffalo from Philadelphia for linebacker Kiko Alonso. The teams agreed to the deal last week and it became official.

— Five-time Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore has agreed to terms with the Indianapolis Colts. The 31-year old running back had eight 1,000 seasons with San Francisco. It was thought he would sign with Philadelphia.

— The San Diego Chargers have agreed to terms of a five-year contract with guard Orlando Franklin, an unrestricted free agent from AFC West rival Denver.

— The Bengals solidified their linebacker position by reaching agreement on a deal with A.J. Hawk who was released by Green Bay last week. Hawk worked out with the Bengals as free agency opened on Tuesday. Agent Mike McCartney tweeted that they had agreed to a two-year deal. The team didn't confirm it.

— Receiver Brandon Marshall has passed his physical and his trade to the New York Jets from the Chicago Bears is a done deal. The teams agreed on the deal last Friday, but it became official at the start of the unrestricted free agency signing period. The Jets sent a fifth-round draft pick to the Bears for Marshall and a seventh-rounder.

— — A person familiar with the negotiations says Arizona and free agent guard Mike Iupati have agreed on a five-year, $40 million contract with $22.5 million guaranteed. The 6-foot-5, 331-pound lineman has played all five of his NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. He is a three-time Pro Bowl player and made the All-Pro team in 2012.

— Houston has re-signed free agent quarterback Ryan Mallett who is in line to be the starter next season. His two-year extension is worth $7 million, with $1.75 guaranteed.

— The Browns have signed wide receiver Brian Hartline who gets a two-year, $6 million contract. The 28-year-old had consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in 2012 and 2013 for Miami before dropping to 474 yards last season.

— The Oakland Raiders opened free agency by agreeing to contracts with former Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith and blocking tight end Lee Smith.

— A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that Shaun Hill has agreed to a two-year, $6.5 million dollar deal to be Minnesota's back-up quarterback. Hill started eight games for St. Louis last season. The Vikings signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2002.

__A person familiar with the negotiations has told The Associated Press the Buffalo Bills have agreed to sign free-agent fullback Jerome Felton, who spent the past three seasons in Minnesota.

— The New York Giants dipped into the free agency market, coming up with two former Patriots: running back Shane Vereen and linebacker Jonathan Casillas.

Thomas.

— Agent Marc Lillibridge said tight end Ed Dickson has agreed to terms on a three-year contract with Carolina. Dickson is expected to sign the contract on Wednesday upon passing his physical. The team also re-signed defensive tackle Dwan Edwards to a two-year deal. Carolina has released all-time leading rusher DeAngelo Williams.

— Seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis is retiring after a 2014 season that was cut short by a toe injury that required surgery.

— Quarterback Jake Locker is retiring from football rather than hit free agency after four NFL seasons with the Tennessee Titans. He says in a statement that he no longer has the "burning desire" needed to keep playing for a living.

MLB-SPRING TRAINING

Injury updates

UNDATED (AP) 7/8— Cliff Lee will try to pitch through an elbow injury instead of having season-ending surgery. The former Cy Young Award winner made the decision after a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews. Head athletic trainer Scott Sheridan says the tear in Lee's common flexor tendon looks the same on an MRI as it did last year, when the ace was limited to 13 starts.

General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. says he's "not terribly optimistic" that Lee can return to pitching without pain but there's a possibility he can.

In other news;

— Cleveland right-hander Gavin Floyd has reinjured his pitching right elbow and may need surgery. The 32-year-old was 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA for Atlanta last season and didn't pitch after June 19. He had surgery six days later to repair a stress fracture of the olecranon, a bone behind the elbow.

— Braves left-hander Mike Minor will start the season on the disabled list because of inflammation in his pitching shoulder's rotator cuff. Minor has had an injection in the shoulder and won't throw for two weeks. Minor was bothered by shoulder soreness last spring and didn't make his first big league start until May 2. He finished 6-12 with a 4.77 ERA in 25 starts.

— Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman will miss the entire season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during fielding drills.
