Commanders vice president of football operations, confirmed a report yesterday that LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell will meet with the team's coaches and front office April 10.

The Bears have Washington's first-round draft pick (No. 6 overall) on the table in a proposed deal for Lance Briggs and the Bears' first-round pick (No. 31 overall). According to a report, the Bears have told Commanders officials they will take through the weekend -- if not longer -- to respond.

Unless a running back falls out of the sky and into the Packers' backfield in the next four weeks, chances are they'll be relying heavily on one of their top draft picks to tote the football next season.

Indications out of David Carr's camp is that the quarterback is considering a unique approach to free agency. It's not just about the money or the chance to be an immediate starter. Carr is starting to think the best thing for his career might be to go to a good team, spend some time as the backup and wait for his shot. That's why Carolina and Seattle could be attractive.

Donovan McNabb expressed confidence that he would be back for the start of the season while conducting several interviews yesterday. Eagles coach Andy Reid told The Inquirer that McNabb was "a little ahead of schedule" in his rehabilitation but was not likely to be back on the practice field until at least the start of training camp in late July.

Although Cleveland and Detroit have expressed interest in Chiefs quarterback Trent Green, his representative has spoken only to the Dolphins, and trade discussions are ongoing between Miami and Kansas City, agent Jim Steiner said Thursday.
-- Miami Herald
A day after Giants head coach Tom Coughlin likened his image to that of Adolf Hitler, the team opted to keep mum on a remark that can be characterized as either mindless or insensitive, or both.
-- New York Post
As part of their predraft scouting, the Patriots were scheduled to work out quarterback Toby Korrodi yesterday. The lefthanded Korrodi is a Division 2 prospect from Central Missouri State who registered the highest throwing velocity at the NFL combine last month.
-- Boston Globe
With Jason Garrett running the Cowboys' offense, look for the fullback to be a part of the offense again. When Garrett was with the Cowboys, he got to watch Daryl Johnston play. One problem: The classic fullback is not exactly in vogue in college. The best available in this year's draft, Rutgers' Brian Leonard, is not seen as a knock-your-head off lead blocker.
-- Dallas Morning News
Interest in Aaron Moorehead apparently is picking up. The former Colts receiver, who became an unrestricted free agent March 1, will meet with the Vikings on Monday. At least two other teams also have shown an interest.
