Green Bay Packers: Backup quarterback Doug Pederson re-signed Tuesday. The 35-year Pederson became an unrestricted free agent Feb. 28, and had been expected to rejoin the team.

Pederson has been with the Packers for five of the past seven years. He played for Philadelphia in 1999 and Cleveland the next season.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Atlanta Falcons: Georgia wide receiver Terrence Edwards signed a free-agent contract after backing out of a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Falcons persuaded Edwards, a native of Sandersville, Fa., to stay in his home state by offering him a slightly better contract.

The 6-foot, 176-pound Edwards, who caught 205 passes in his four-year career with Georgia, agreed to a deal with the Steelers on Sunday night, but never signed a contract. He changed his mind and signed with the Falcons on Monday, Falcons spokesman Aaron Salkin said Tuesday.

Edwards is the brother of Miami Dolphins' running back Robert Edwards.

Buffalo Bills: Cornerback Chris Watson was released and Buffalo agreed to terms with free agent offensive lineman T.J. Watkins.

Watson struggled as the third cornerback last year, eventually losing his job to rookie Kevin Thomas at the end of the season. Earlier this month, the Bills signed free agent cornerback Dainon Sidney.

Watson spent three seasons with Buffalo and played in 44 games. Seattle released Watkins, an undrafted rookie free agent, during the 2002 preseason.

San Francisco 49ers: Dr. James Bernard Klint, the team doctor for more than 20 years, has died. He was 60.

Klint died at his home in Atherton, Calif. on April 19, nine months after he was diagnosed with stomach cancer.

Klint became San Francisco's team doctor in 1979, and was with the organization for five Super Bowl wins. In 1993, he helped to create league-wide substance abuse policies.

"Jim Klint was a superb physician and a humanitarian," former 49ers coach Bill Walsh said. "He was a humble man, yet he was a giant."

Klint is survived by his wife, their two children, a brother and two grandchildren.
