Although things have slowed down considerably on the NFL free agent front, one veteran linebacker appears to be drawing more interest now than he has at any point in the last two weeks.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that free agent linebacker Clark Haggans, who has played his entire eight-year NFL career in Pittsburgh, is becoming a hot commodity on the free agent market. According to Schefter, the Browns and Colts have both called Haggans recently, and the Steelers are still interested in re-signing him as well.

Haggans has a visit with Cleveland scheduled for next week, and he would appear to be a good fit there, both because his skills are well suited for the defense Browns coach Romeo Crennel runs, and because the Browns have made clear this off-season that they’re more interested in acquiring veterans who can help them win now than they are in building for the future.

The 31-year-old Haggans started all 16 games in Pittsburgh last season, but if he returns to the Steelers in 2008 he may have trouble holding onto his spot in the starting lineup, as 2007 second-round draft pick LaMarr Woodley is being groomed for the job.
