Here are the most interesting stories in the AFC North:

Morning take: I don't see Randle El unseating receiver Mike Wallace for the No. 3 job unless it's due to injury. But quality depth at receiver is never a bad thing.

Morning take: Owens reportedly had dinner with the Bengals coaches last night and will meet again today. Will both sides reach an agreement?

  • Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlin Jackson left the team facility Tuesday without a contract.
Morning take: Jackson is coming off an injury last season, and Baltimore has enough of those situations in its own secondary with Fabian Washington and Lardarius Webb.

  • After his release Tuesday, former Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson pulled no punches with Cleveland fans.
Morning take: Anderson later apologized for his comments and said it was out of frustration. Anderson's statement on the matter is below.
"I said some things to [reporter] Jeff Schudel earlier that I regret. Those of you who got to know me personally from covering the Browns over the past five years, know this was out of character for me. I wasn't taken out of context, but I was speaking out of frustration after my career with the Browns came to a close. I had some great times playing in Cleveland, especially during the 2007 season, and I met some great people and made many lifelong friends along the way. I'm looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life." -- Derek Anderson
