NFL Notes: Browns host free-agent Robert Griffin III

CLEVELAND -- The Browns are taking another look at Robert Griffin III.

The free-agent quarterback visited on Saturday with the Browns, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. Griffin, who was released earlier this month by Washington, met with new Cleveland coach Hue Jackson and members of the front office at the team's facility in Berea, Ohio, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not disclosing its plans during free agency.

Four years ago, the Browns were enamored with RG3 and wanted to take him in the draft. However, the club couldn't work out a trade to move up and were outbid by the Redskins, who selected Griffin with the No. 2 overall pick (see full story).

Seahawks: LB Mike Morgan agrees to terms
RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms on a new contract with veteran linebacker and special teams standout Mike Morgan.

Seattle announced the deal with Morgan on Saturday. The unrestricted free agent had made visits to a few other teams before deciding to return to the Seahawks.

Morgan first joined Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2011. While his playing time on defense has been limited to spot duty, he has become a vital part of Seattle's special teams. Morgan started two games at strongside linebacker last season and recorded 17 tackles with one sack.

His role on defense could increase in 2016 with the departure of Bruce Irvin for Oakland in free agency.
