NFL ROUNDUP \ News and notes

Saints: Neither general manager Mickey Loomis nor Reggie Bush's agent, Joel Segal, would comment on negotiations Thursday, but Loomis said recently that negotiations with Bush are running a "normal" course. Bush, the running back and kick returner from Southern California, is looking for top pick money. Defensive end Mario Williams was the first overall choice in April and signed a six-year, $54 million contract with Houston, with $26.5 million guaranteed.
Titans: Vince Young agreed to a five-year deal, with an option for a sixth, with $25.7 million guaranteed. It could have an overall value of $58 million with option and roster bonuses and salary. "It was a great deal for us," said Major Adams, the quarterback's agent. "Both sides had one goal, and that was to get him in on time. We accomplished that, and we worked diligently to get him in."
Vikings: Minnesota agreed to terms with first-round draft pick Chad Greenway, assuring that all of their rookies will be in camp on time. Greenway, a linebacker out of Iowa, agreed to a five-year deal the day Vikings rookies were due to be in Mankato for the team's training camp. Workouts begin for rookies and selected veterans today, while most of the team will report Sunday evening.
Broncos: Quarterback Jay Cutler, the 11th pick in the draft out of Vanderbilt, agreed to a package worth up to $48 million over six years. The deal was expected to be signed in time for the first workout today. Cutler was the last of Denver's seven-member draft class to reach a deal. The Broncos also signed punter Micah Knorr to fill in for Todd Sauerbrun, who will serve a four-game suspension for using the banned dietary supplement ephedra.
Chiefs: Kansas City agreed to terms with first-round draft pick Tamba Hali, a defensive end from Penn State and the 20th overall pick. Hali received a five-year contract. The 6-foot-3, 275-pound Hali had 11 sacks during his senior season, including four against Wisconsin, tying a Nittany Lions single-game record.
Giants: Mathias Kiwanuka signed a five-year contract that agent Tom Condon said could be worth up to $10 million if the Boston College defensive end hits all his incentives. Kiwanuka is guaranteed $5 million. "The millionaire part is good," Kiwanuka said. "But I think the most exciting part is that this is Day 1 for me. This is the official Day 1. I have been a part of the team, kind of, now that it is signed and over with, I'm happy."
Buccaneers: Tampa Bay agreed to a deal with guard Davin Joseph of Oklahoma, its No. 1 pick and the 23rd overall selection. Joseph is expected to compete for a starting job right away.
Bears: Thomas Jones, who last season joined Walter Payton as the only Chicago running backs to eclipse 1,300 yards, strained his hamstring while running during a physical Thursday and wound up on the PUP list. "It was something where I ran this morning kind of early. I may not have stretched as much as I should have been. It was something that just happened. It could happen to anybody," Jones said.
49ers: San Francisco traded backup quarterback Cody Pickett to Houston for a conditional draft pick. Pickett started two games for the 49ers last season -- and completed a franchise-low one pass in a loss to Chicago. The former rodeo cowboy gained his greatest notoriety from a brief stint as a special-teams player covering kickoffs and punts.
Injuries: Jets running back Curtis Martin and Patriots defensive end Richard Seymour and safety Rodney Harrison were placed on the physically unable to perform list. All three are expected to be fine well before the season. Players can only be put on the PUP list before the first practice of training camp. If they are not removed from it before the final roster cutdown to 53 players on Sept. 2, they must stay on it for the first six weeks of the season. At any time during Weeks 7-10, they can be activated or work out with the team. After the first 10 weeks of the season, they must be activated, waived or placed on injured reserve, requiring them to miss the rest of the season. Any of the PUP players can be taken off the list in training camp once they're ready to practice.
