Denver Broncos: QB Kordell Stewart made his name in Colorado as a member of the Buffalos, and he could be on his way back to the Mile High State. Stewart arrived in Denver on Monday night for a visit with Broncos officials today, and he could soon become the backup to QB Jake Plummer. "He is totally excited by that idea (of returning to Colorado)," Stewart's agent, Leigh Steinberg, told the Denver Post. Stewart spent last weekend in Las Vegas, where he was involved in a golf tournament along with Shanahan. Steinberg said the two spoke, though the Broncos' interest in Stewart emerged well before those talks. The team continues to negotiate with Tennessee free-agent QB Billy Volek, one of the top available players at the position, but he is drawing heavy interest from Atlanta, Buffalo and Green Bay.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: WR Joey Galloway will visit the club today in an effort to renew talks regarding a proposed trade that would send WR Keyshawn Johnson to the Dallas Cowboys. Negotiation that were once thought to be dead are now on life support. "(Negotiations) were never really dead," agent Leigh Steinberg told the St. Petersburg Times. "The figures haven't changed much, just the form has changed a bit. But Joey is going to visit and that's a positive thing." The long-discussed trade for Galloway has been stalled by an apparent inadequate offer from the Bucs, a reported one-year, $1.25-million deal. General manager Bruce Allen, who said the team has "about $1-million" of cap money to spend, said there could be a resolution by the end of the week.

New York Giants: The club is close to terms with Washington DT Martin Chase. "We're getting real close," Neil Schwartz, Chase's agent, told the New York Post. "There's been serious interest." Chase, 29, started two games in the nation's capitol before playing sparingly because of a calf injury. The 6-2, 310-pound Chase has seven starts in 54 career games and just one sack. With Cornelius Griffin lost to the Redskins and Keith Hamilton retired, the Giants need bodies at defensive tackle. They've already signed DT Fred Robbins.
