At 11 a.m. Monday, NFL teams were allowed to begin contracting the agents of pending free agents. Nothing can be made official until 3 p.m. Wednesday, the start of the new league year, but this is where I’ll keep a running tab of interesting tidbits that leak out over the next few days or so.
2:43 p.m.: I recently spoke to Chiefs defensive end Mike DeVito, who is set to become a free agent on Wednesday. DeVito, 31, said he intends to return to the NFL for a 10th season.
“I do (want to keep playing),” DeVito said.
