Packers Sign Dominik Eberle

The Green Bay Packers signed kicker Dominik Eberle on Tuesday. Eberle made his NFL debut with the Houston Texans last season and appeared in only one game for them, going 2-for-3 on field-goal tries and a perfect 5-for-5 on his extra points.

Saints Waive Brett Maher

The New Orleans Saints waived kicker Brett Maher on Tuesday. Maher spent eight games with the Saints in 2021, making 16 of his 18 field-goal attempts (88.9%) and 10 of his 12 extra-point tries. New Orleans is moving on from Maher with Wil Lutz (abdomen) set to return in 2022 after missing all of last […]

The Miami Dolphins signed quarterback Chris Streveler on Tuesday. Streveler finished last season on the Baltimore Ravens practice squad, and he's also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals and played in the Canadian Football League for two seasons.

Los Angeles Rams impending free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) announced on his Instagram that he underwent successful surgery to fix a torn ACL that he suffered in the Super Bowl win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Brendan Beck (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery last summer, is expected to make a full recovery, according to sources.

Dwight Smith Jr. Signs With White Sox

The Chicago White Sox have signed free-agent outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. to a minor league deal. Smith was a first-round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays back in 2011, and he made his major league debut in 2017 with Toronto. He looked good in his first two big-league seasons, prompting the Baltimore Orioles to trade […]

Hyun Jin Ryu Cleared From COVID-19

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu tested negative for COVID-19 and will rejoin the Hanwha Eagles of the Korean Baseball Organization on Wednesday. Ryu is scheduled to work out with the Eagles until Major League Baseball's lockout is over. The 34-year-old left-hander wasn't nearly as good in 2021 as he was in his […]

Freddie Freeman Not Expected To Return To Braves?

There is a growing belief that first baseman Freddie Freeman will land somewhere other than the Atlanta Braves because of the standoff in his negotiations with the team. The presumption among many rival executives last year was that Freeman and the Braves would eventually work out a deal, but Freeman wasn't among the stars that […]

Packers, Davante Adams Haven't Discussed Extension

There have been no discussions between the Green Bay Packers and impending free-agent wide receiver Davante Adams on a long-term contract extension since the season ended, according to a source. The Packers have until March 8 to decide whether to place the franchise tag on Adams, which would buy them more time to get an […]

Mitchell Trubisky Eyeing Starting Job In Free Agency

Buffalo Bills impending free-agent quarterback Mitchell Trubisky spent the 2021 season as the backup to Josh Allen, but he could be ready to battle for a starting job somewhere else in 2022. "I'm in a confident space right now," Trubisky said. The former No. 2 overall pick of the Chicago Bears spent four seasons in […]

Dolphins May Try To Retain Mike Gesicki

Miami Dolphins impending free-agent tight end Mike Gesicki set career-highs in catches (73) and receiving yards (780) and was the team's second leading receiver in 2021 behind only rookie wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. Miami will have plenty of salary cap space and could look to put as many offensive weapons around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as […]

Marcus Williams Could Get The Tag For Second Straight Year

New Orleans Saints free safety Marcus Williams is a candidate to receive the franchise tag for the second straight season with the Saints in rough salary cap shape in 2022. Williams played well on the tag in 2021 and is an important part of the team's secondary. Left tackle Terron Armstead is not a candidate […]

Dalton Schultz A Candidate For The Franchise Tag

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is coming off of a breakout season in 2021 in which he caught 78 passes for 808 yards and eight touchdowns. The Cowboys have a tough salary cap situation and a bunch of free agents to address. Dallas probably will not be able to pay the former fourth-rounder his […]

Panthers Unlikely To Trade For Kirk Cousins?

On the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he doesn't think there's any truth to the rumors that the Carolina Panthers are trying to trade for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. The Panthers are likely to call and gauge interest on most QBs this offseason, but Cousins remains under contract in […]

Buccaneers Could Consider Tagging Carlton Davis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis missed seven games in 2021 due to a quadriceps injury, but he still had 11 passes defensed to bring his four-year total to 52. Tampa is in a transition period after quarterback Tom Brady's retirement, and they'll have to decide which starters to keep heading into free agency next […]

Franchise Tag A Possibility For Orlando Brown

The Kansas City Chiefs traded a first-round pick, among other selections, for impending free-agent left tackle Orlando Brown, and the Chiefs are highly unlikely to allow him to be a one-season rental as part of an overhauled offensive line to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes. As such, Brown is expected to return as the team's starting […]

Patriots Can't Afford To Lose J.C. Jackson

New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson leads the league with 25 interceptions since 2018, and he also led the NFL with 23 passes defensed in 2021. He wasn't great in the wild-card playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills, but Jackson will have a big market if he reaches free agency next month. The Patriots would […]

Harold Landry Could Receive The Franchise Tag

Tennessee Titans impending free-agent outside linebacker Harold Landry is coming off a career-high 12-sack season in 2021, and he'll be in high demand if he reaches free agency. A long-term deal for Landry may be more difficult after the massive deal that pass-rusher Bud Dupree got last year, combined with the fact that the Titans […]

Jessie Bates Should Be A Priority For Bengals

Locking up impending free-agent free safety Jessie Bates should be a priority for the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason, just behind rebuilding their offensive line. Bates is third among all safeties with 406 tackles since 2018. He didn't have an excellent regular season in 2021, but Bates led all players with six passes defensed and earned […]

Davante Adams A Candidate For The Franchise Tag

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent wide receiver Davante Adams is the top free agent at any position this offseason after coming off a career-high 1,553 receiving yards. Adams has led the NFL in catches (432), receiving yards (5,310) and touchdowns (47) since 2018. The franchise tag especially makes sense if quarterback Aaron Rodgers goes elsewhere, […]

Micah Parsons Played Through Knee Injury

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (knee) said he played all of his outstanding rookie year with a knee injury that he suffered in training camp. It didn't seem to slow him down, as he had 13 sacks, 20 tackles for loss and 30 QB hits in 16 starts on his way to winning Defensive Rookie […]

No Decision Yet From Aaron Rodgers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has not yet made a decision on what he plans to do in 2022, but he posted a lengthy message on Instagram on Monday night in which he thanked "the men I got to share the QB room with everyday" and "my teammates, past and current." Rodgers won his […]

Steelers Plan To Tender Dwayne Haskins

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said the team plans to place a tender on impending restricted free-agent quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

Jarvis Landry Wants To Stay In Cleveland

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry said that he would "like to stay" with the team but added that he's confident he can still contribute for another team in "winning a championship."

Texans Could Add Elite QB This Offseason

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills had one of the better rookie performances at his position last year, despite being a third-round pick. But with Deshaun Watson asking to be traded among legal issues that include more than 20 civil and criminal complaints of alleged sexual misconduct, head coach Lovie Smith hinted that the Texans could […]

Xander Bogaerts As Consistent As They Come

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had another extremely productive year in 2021, finishing with a .295/.370/.493 slash line, 23 home runs, 79 RBI, five stolen bases and 90 runs scored in 144 games (603 plate appearances). A bout with COVID-19 and a wrist injury in the second half of the season slowed him down […]

Manny Machado Coming Off Fifth All-Star Season

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado will make $30 million in 2022 in the fourth year of a 10-year, $300 million deal.
