Troy Vincent will be covering receivers for Buffalo and David Boston will be catching passes for Miami next season.

Pro Bowl cornerback Vincent agreed to terms with the Bills on Monday, ending a stellar eight-year tenure with Philadelphia.

Vincent’s agent Linda Bodley said her free-agent client agreed to a six-year deal, choosing Buffalo ahead of two other teams — Cincinnati and Kansas City — that had courted him.

Twice next season he might get to cover Boston, who was traded by the Chargers to the Dolphins.

Miami got the former Pro Bowl receiver for a sixth-round draft choice in 2005 and a player to be named, Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said. The deal is contingent on Boston passing a physical in Miami.

Smith said the player to be named wouldn’t be high-profile.

The teams completed the trade following six days of negotiations after Boston accepted a restructured contract.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are moving on by getting older.

Although the 2002 NFL champions don’t seem interested in re-signing 31-year-old defensive tackle Warren Sapp, they did add three veterans Monday, including 33-year-old two-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Todd Steussie. Steussie was released last week by Carolina.

Tampa Bay also signed longtime backup quarterback Jason Garrett and defensive back Tom Knight, who spent last season with Baltimore.

Brian Griese, who was in Miami last year after spending five seasons quarterbacking the Denver Broncos, visited with the Bucs, but no deal was struck.

The Buccaneers also said the deal sending Keyshawn Johnson to Dallas for Joey Galloway remained alive.

Johnson, deactivated for the final six games of last season because of differences with coach Jon Gruden, already has agreed to a restructured contract with Dallas worth $20 million over four seasons. But Tampa Bay hasn’t reached agreement on a restructured deal with Galloway, who has three years left on a seven-year, $42 million contract.

“We’re going to have another conversation with his representatives … and probably in the next day or two have a conversation with Joey to see what exactly he is looking for,” Bucs GM Bruce Allen said.

In Philadelphia, arbitrator Stephen Burbank heard Terrell Owens’ appeals to be declared a free agent and said he would decide today.

Owens’ agent, David Joseph, failed to file papers by a Feb. 21 deadline voiding the final years of his contract, which the NFL ruled kept him with San Francisco. The 49ers then traded him to Baltimore.

And Washington linebacker LaVar Arrington filed a grievance with the league over $6.5 million he claims is missing from his latest contract with the Redskins. The three-time Pro Bowl linebacker signed a nine-year, $68 million contract in December, but Arrington claims he actually agreed to a $74.5 million deal.

Bill Walsh, who coached the 49ers to three Super Bowl championships and was working as a consultant for the team, is returning to Stanford as a special assistant to athletic director Ted Leland. In his new job, he will work with athletic development staff on various fund-raising initiatives and special projects for Leland.

In other transactions Monday:

• Denver re-signed cornerback Jimmy Spencer and signed free agent cornerback Reggie Stephens.
• New England signed punter Josh Miller, who had been cut by Pittsburgh.
• Buffalo picked up a $2 million option on center Trey Teague, keeping him with the team for another season.
• Minnesota released receiver D’Wayne Bates and backup safety Jack Brewer.
