J.C. Jackson Likely To Hit The Open Market

New England Patriots impending free-agent cornerback J.C. Jackson is expected to hit the free-agent market, rather than receive the franchise tag.

Bills Give Cole Beasley Permission To Seek Trade

The Buffalo Bills have given wide receiver Cole Beasley permission to seek a trade, although general manager Brandon Beane said on Thursday that the Bills would welcome him back and "no door has been closed."

USC wide receiver Drake London (ankle), who is ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.'s and Todd McShay's top-ranked receiver, didn't run the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine on Thursday because he's still working his way back from a fractured right ankle that he suffered in October. Despite his injury that caused him to miss the […]

Desmond Ridder Impresses With Speed At Combine

Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder had a 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine on Thursday, which was better than 12 wide receivers. The 6-foot-3, 211-pound signal-caller had accuracy issues last year, but some scouts think he can correct it with more consistent footwork in the pocket. With that said, it's likely that some teams […]

Browns Likely To Take WR With First-Round Pick

The Cleveland Browns appear poised to select the best available wide receiver at pick No. 13 overall in the first round of this year's draft instead of a quarterback.

Michael Gallup Wants To Re-Sign

The belief is that Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent wide receiver Michael Gallup wants to re-sign with the team this offseason.

Orioles Have Had Interest In Donovan Solano

The Baltimore Orioles had interest in signing free-agent infielder Donovan Solano before the league's lockout last December, but it's unclear if they still have interest after adding Rougned Odor.
