Pirates Want Cole Tucker To See Everyday At-Bats

The Pittsburgh Pirates optioned shortstop Cole Tucker to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday because management would like to see him play every day in the minors rather than sitting the bench regularly behind Kevin Newman to start the 2020 season.

The Dallas Cowboys are unlikely to sign free-agent wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders unless he takes substantially less than what everyone thinks he'll get paid, according to Cowboys officials. With Randall Cobb signing with the Texans, Devin Smith is currently Dallas' No. 3 wideout behind Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup. Sanders would be a nice No. […]

Robby Anderson Greeted With Frigid Market

It was anticipated that free-agent wide receiver Robby Anderson would receive plenty of attention on the open market as the No. 2 available wideout behind Amari Cooper, who quickly re-signed with the Cowboys. However, free agency hasn't gone as expected for Anderson and he's still available without anyone showing interest in him four days into […]

Bucs Could Look To Bring Breshad Perriman Back

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were focused on re-signing their own players before they signed quarterback Tom Brady, so they could return their focus on bringing back wide receiver Breshad Perriman as a downfield threat for Brady.

Ricky Seals-Jones On The Open Market

The Cleveland Browns didn't give restricted free-agent tight end Ricky Seals-Jones a tender offer, putting him on the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
