Cowboys waived/injured DT Brian Price. Price, 24, was signed to a reserve/future contract in January. The former second-round pick of the Bucs hasn't appeared in a game since 2011 when he started 14 games for Tampa Bay. Price is battling a shoulder injury.

Cowboys signed DT Brian Price, WR Danny Coale, WR Tim Benford, QB Nick Stephens, TE Andre Smith, CB Vince Agnew, CB Micah Pellerin, LB Brashton Satele, LB Monte Taylor, and DE Ikponmwosa Igbinosun to reserve/future contracts. Price is the most intriguing name on the list as the 35th overall pick in the 2010 draft and a 14-game starter in 2011. He failed to make it out of training camp with the Bears after coming over in a July trade. Coale and Benford showed flashes in Cowboys camp last summer.

Free agent DT Brian Price visited with the Vikings this week.

The Broncos worked out free agent DTs Brian Price, Terrell McClain and Daniel Muir Wednesday. Denver is auditioning Ty Warren replacements. Price is the biggest name and has the most upside, but it remains to be seen if he has his head on straight after both the Bucs and Bears gave up on him this summer. McClain was the No. 65 pick in last year's draft.

The Vikings are trying out free agent DT Brian Price on Friday. Price has played in schemes like Leslie Frazier's with Tampa and Chicago, so he'd immediately know the terminology. The Vikings are looking for depth behind Kevin Williams and first-time starting NT Letroy Guion. Price has been a nose tackle in the league and could push Guion for snaps eventually if signed.

Bears waived DT Brian Price.

Brian Price passed his physical with the Bears, making the trade with the Bucs official. Multiple reports suggested Price failed to complete the Buccaneers conditioning test due to a leg injury, so it was far from a given that he'd pass his physical in Chicago. The trade is now official, with the Bucs receiving a seventh-round pick in return.

Bears acquired DT Brian Price from the Bucs in exchange for a late-round draft pick. Price will have to pass a physical, which is hardly a given. Late in 2010, Price became the first NFL player to undergo a radical procedure screwing his hamstring to the bone while also attaching the pelvic bones to themselves. New coach Greg Schiano is running a tight ship, and Price may have written his ticket out of town by punching rookie Mark Barron in the face during an offseason meeting. A cakewalk run defense last season, the Bucs will be thin up front again in 2012. If healthy and in football shape, Price is certainly worth the risk for Chicago. The 2010 second-rounder started 14 games last season.

Bucs DT Brian Price reportedly punched first-round S Mark Barron in the face during a players meeting last month. The fracas started when Price found Barron sitting in his seat at a team meeting. Although Barron's face was bloodied, he practiced later that day. Price can be forgiven for the short temper in the heat of the moment. He was hospitalized for "exhaustion and grief" after taking on his sister's children when she died in a car wreck earlier this spring. He had previously lost two brothers to gunshot wounds. We wouldn't make too much of the incident, as Price still carries plenty of respect among teammates and coaches.

Bucs DT Brian Price was hospitalized this week for "exhaustion and grief" in the wake of his sister's death. It's why Price was absent from Bucs OTAs. His sister was killed in a car accident last week. "It was just a situation where like the stress of the whole situation made him sick," Price's agent said. Price is planning to adopt his late sister's seven- and nine-year old sons. A 2010 second-round pick, Price started 14 games in 2011, notching 24 tackles and three sacks.
