Peguese was a Ryan Grigson favorite out of Hampton last year, but he was out of football all last season and apparently didn't show much in the offseason conditioning program. Brown spent the year with the AFL's San Antonio Talons.

Brackett's market has been dry since his March 9 release. He may get sniffs now that doctors gave him clearance, but he's an injury-prone, 32-year-old, undersized 4-3 linebacker without elite run-stopping skills. Brackett will struggle to attract offers worth in excess of the veteran's league minimum.

An explosive kickoff return prospect who also chipped in a 55-yard pick six as largely a sub-package defensive back in Denver last year, Vaughn's 2011 season ended with a fractured left fibula in November. He's healthy now, and could push for significant snaps on a weak Indianapolis cornerback depth chart. Vaughn, 24, ran in the 4.3s at 5-foot-11, 195 at his Pro Day in 2010.

Schefter reports that the deal should happen "in the next 24 hours." The Giants' one-year, $2.5 million deal with Martellus Bennett should be roughly the ceiling for Clark's Bucs contract. Bennett's deal is heavy on incentives.

Darlington confirms Clark visited Tampa headquarters last week, as initially reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal should be worth something close to the veteran's minimum for one year. Kellen Winslow figures to be released in a corresponding move, though the Bucs may keep him on the trade block for a short period before making that official. Clark, who has spent his entire career with the Colts, is entering his tenth season in the league.

The news comes on the same day Kellen Winslow says he's been informed he's out in Tampa. Clark would be a much better culture fit than Winslow under new coach Greg Schiano, but appeared to have much less left in the tank last season. Nevertheless, he should be penciled in as the starter if signed. Clark has also visited the Patriots and Chiefs.

It's no secret the Pats are perhaps the league's most set team at tight end, while Clark was available when New England inked TE Daniel Fells to a three-year deal in March. Clark is just an added contact to the Pats' emergency list if injury strikes somewhere down the line.
