Pittsburgh Steelers tackle Willie Colon was with teammate Ben Roethlisberger on the night the quarterback was accused of sexual assault in a Georgia club, but did not witness anything, Colon's agent said Wednesday.

Colon was at the Capital City nightclub in Milledgeville, Ga., last Friday, for a birthday party for Roethlisberger. But Joe Linta, Colon's agent, said in a telephone interview that Colon was on the dance floor and not close by when Roethlisberger allegedly sexually assaulted a 20-year-old college student.

The Bengals have decided which potential big-time target to put opposite Chad Ochocinco, and unfortunately for Terrell Owens, it's not him. Instead, it's former Buccaneer Antonio Bryant who comes to Cincinnati. According to JOCKlife.com, Bryant gets a four-year deal.

Bryant had visited Cincy on Tuesday, and also was beingly hotly pursued by the Miami Dolphins. Carson Palmer needed a strong wide receiver to complement Ochocinco's speed, and the signing should make both incumbent Bengals stars happy.

As for T.O., he'll probably need to find work elsewhere. Will the Dolphins, after losing out on Bryant, with Bill Parcells part of the show, give Owens another shot to shine? Stay tuned.

Former Browns quarterback Derek Anderson has apologized after saying Cleveland fans "don't deserve a winner" following his release.

Anderson was let go by the club Tuesday, ending an uneven five-year stint with the Browns. In an e-mail to The (Willoughby) News-Herald after his release, Anderson wrote he will never forget that Browns fans cheered when he was injured on the field. He called them "ruthless" and said he hopes when he comes back to Cleveland with another team that "we roll them."

On Wednesday, Anderson says he regrets some of the things he said. He adds his remarks are out of character and that he had some great times playing in Cleveland, "especially during the 2007 season."

Anderson made the Pro Bowl in ?07, but had two sub-par seasons after that.

Free-agent nose tackle Maake Kemoeatu (ma-AH-kay key-moy-AH-too) has signed with the Washington Redskins.

Kemoeatu spent last season on injured reserve with the Carolina Panthers after tearing his Achilles tendon in training camp.

He has 291 tackles and four sacks in 107 NFL games, including 61 starts, with Carolina (2006-09) and Baltimore (2002-05).

The 31-year-old Kemoeatu's signing Wednesday represents the latest low-key move in a relatively quiet free agency period so far for Washington under new coach Mike Shanahan and new general manager Bruce Allen. The Redskins signed offensive lineman Artis Hicks on Saturday.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed free agent running back Thomas Jones, who led the New York Jets to the AFC championship game last season and was the NFL's third-leading rusher.

The Chiefs announced the deal Tuesday but declined to disclose the terms.

Jones had career highs of 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. He was a 2008 Pro Bowl selection with 1,312 yards and 13 touchdowns.

The 31-year-old is expected to supplement third-year running back Jamaal Charles, who was Kansas City's MVP last season with 1,120 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.

Jones was drafted seventh overall in 2000 by the Arizona Cardinals. He was traded to Tampa Bay in 2003, went to Chicago in 2004 as a free agent and was traded to the Jets in 2007.

With all the first-round prospects coming out of Oklahoma for this year's NFL draft, St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo joked that he might just camp out on campus for a while.

Carrying the No. 1 pick with him, Spagnuolo visited the Sooners' pro timing day Tuesday, getting another chance to see defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, offensive tackle Trent Williams, tight end Jermaine Gresham and others after last week's NFL combine.

Quarterback Sam Bradford wasn't among those to work out. Spagnuolo says he'll be back when the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner holds his own session on March 25.

Spagnuolo says the Rams would love to find a way to split the pick and use it on more than one player.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a pair of surprise moves by re-signing safety Ryan Clark and bringing back wide receiver Antwaan Randle El.

Clark agreed to a $14 million, four-year contract after the Steelers were unable to sign him before the free agency signing period began Friday. Clark reached terms after visiting the Miami Dolphins on Monday and talking with the Arizona Cardinals.

Randle El, who threw a TD pass on a gadget play during the Steelers' Super Bowl win over Seattle in 2006, is returning after spending four seasons with the Redskins. He agreed to a three-year deal with Pittsburgh.
