Lions Release Tra Carson

The Detroit Lions released running back Tra Carson, long snapper James Fisher, offensive guard Casey Tucker and punter Matt Wile on Monday. Detroit added running backs D'Andre Swift and Jason Huntley in the draft this past weekend, so they're trimming the fat with Carson. The 27-year-old split time with the Lions and Packers in 2019, […]

Dalvin Cook To Participate In Virtual Program

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook plans to take part in the team's virtual offseason program while awaiting a new contract, according to sources.

Jamal Adams Skipping Voluntary Workouts

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams is skipping the team's virtual offseason program, but head coach Adam Gase didn't sound too worried and said "this is voluntary" when asked about Adams skipping the program. This doesn't come as a surprise at all with Adams seeking a new contract heading into the final season of his […]

Seahawks Moving On From Justin Britt, D.J. Fluker

The Seattle Seahawks are prepared to release center Justin Britt, a move that would save them around $8.5 million in salary cap space. Guard D.J. Fluker announced he was released on Sunday, a move that saves around $3.6 million. Britt missed the last eight games of 2019 with a torn ACL. With him on his […]

Shohei Ohtani Almost Ready To Face Hitters

Los Angeles Angels general manager Billy Eppler said that starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (elbow) is almost ready to face live hitters in his rehab from Tommy John surgery, but that might be difficult to do given the restrictions surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. "We're going to have to get creative somewhere down the line here if […]

49ers, Trent Williams Not Rushing Extension

The San Francisco 49ers traded a 2020 fifth-round pick and a 2021 third-round pick to the Washington Redskins on Saturday to acquire Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, but neither side is in a rush to work out a contract extension. As of now, Williams is expected to play out the final year of his […]

Seahawks Could Still Pursue Jadeveon Clowney

The Seattle Seahawks continue to say that they aren't ruling out re-signing defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, despite adding pass-rushers in free agency and taking two defensive ends in the draft -- Tennessee's Darrell Taylor and Syracuse's Alton Robinson. Head coach Pete Carroll said the team continues to stay in touch with Clowney. Clowney found himself […]

Packers Confirm Faith In Aaron Rodgers

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur denied that the team selecting quarterback Jordan Love in the first round meant that quarterback Aaron Rodgers' time with the team was nearing an end. "Aaron is a pro, and he's the leader of our football team, and I anticipate that for a really long time," LaFleur said. […]

Saints Finalizing Deal With Jameis Winston

The New Orleans Saints are finalizing a one-year deal with quarterback Jameis Winston on Sunday, according to sources. The deal is expected to be completed quickly now that the 2020 NFL Draft is over, but financials weren't disclosed. Sources say that Winston's 2020 salary will be very economical, fitting into the team's tight salary cap […]

Kevin Davidson Signing With Browns

Former Princeton quarterback Kevin Davidson is signing with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent, according to a source. Head coach Kevin Stefanski went to Penn and general manager Andrew Barry went to Harvard, so it's an Ivy League connection with Davidson. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound QB completed 209 of his 313 attempts (66.8 percent) […]

Patriots Sign Undrafted Quarterback

The New England Patriots are signing former Louisiana Tech quarterback J'Mar Smith as an undrafted player, according to a source. Many thought the Patriots would address their glaring need under center in the draft after Tom Brady left in free agency, but that wasn't the case. Instead, head coach Bill Belichick chose to take Smith […]

49ers Signing JaMycal Hasty

The San Francisco 49ers are signing Baylor running back JaMycal Hasty as an undrafted free agent on Saturday. The Niners traded away Matt Breida to the Dolphins on Saturday and picked up a couple draft picks in return, so they'll replace him on roster with Hasty. As a senior for Baylor in 2019, he ran […]

Redskins Signing Randy Moss' Son

The Washington Redskins are signing former LSU tight end Thaddeus Moss, according to a source. He's the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss and went undrafted. Moss' physical at the combine showed a Jones fracture in his right foot that required surgery, and his inability to visit teams for follow-up exams during […]

Bucs Invest In Chapelle Russell In Seventh Round

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Temple outside linebacker Chapelle Russell with the 241st overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in the seventh round. Russell racked up 72 tackles without any sacks or interceptions in 13 games played in his final year in college. He's undersized at 6-foot-2, 236 pounds in the middle of the […]

Saints Use Their Last Pick On Tommy Stevens

With the 240th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in the seventh round, the New Orleans Saints took Mississippi State quarterback Tommy Stevens. Is he the next Tom Brady? No. Is he the successor to Drew Brees? Probably not. Stevens had the looks of a swiss-army knife in his time at Penn State before […]

Dane Jackson Goes To Buffalo

With the 239th overall pick in the NFL Draft in the seventh round, the Buffalo Bills selected Pittsburgh cornerback Dane Jackson. Jackson is only 6-foot, 187 pounds, but he makes up for it by playing with an attitude, and he can play outside near the sideline or in the slot, so that gives him a […]

T.J. Brunson Selected By Giants

The New York Giants added South Carolina inside linebacker T.J. Brunson with the 238th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in the seventh round. Brunson is a physical off-ball linebacker, but he's not fast enough to play sideline-to-sideline and also doesn't thrive in coverage. Brunson will need to become more flexible and gain strength […]

Chiefs Take Thakarius Keyes In Last Round

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Tulane cornerback Thakarius Keyes with the 237th overall pick in the seventh round. Keyes has the physical traits to be effective in press coverage at the line in the NFL, but his recovery speed is suspect and he could be exposed deep down the field by quicker and speedier pass-catchers. […]

Stantley Thomas-Oliver III Helps Panthers Make History

With the 221st overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft in the seventh round, the Carolina Panthers selected Florida International cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III. As a result, for the first time in the common draft era, the Panthers used all of their picks on the defensive side of the ball. Carolina added to the offense […]

Chargers Add Wide Receiver K.J. Hill

With the 220th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers selected Ohio State wide receiver K.J. Hill. At just 6-foot, 196 pounds, Hill profiles as an undersized slot receiver at the next level that transitions smoothly out of his breaks. He can also be slippery after the […]

Ravens Take A Flier On Geno Stone

The Baltimore Ravens selected Iowa safety Geno Stone with the 219th overall pick of the NFL Draft in the seventh round. Stone's size (5-foot-10, 207 pounds) and arms don't jump off the page, but he's naturally instinctive in the secondary with good recognition skills. He plays his best in two-high zone and in the box […]

Giants Take Carter Coughlin With Pick No. 218

The New York Giants selected Minnesota outside linebacker Carter Coughlin with the 218th overall pick in the seventh round. Even while impressing at the NFL combine in February, Coughlin finds himself going in the last round of the draft. The 6-foot-3, 236-pounder can control tight ends at the line of scrimmage, but he's much better […]

49ers Add To WR Room With Jauan Jennings

With the 217th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers selected Tennessee wide receiver Jauan Jennings. The 49ers have plenty of receivers still on roster, but they certainly need more after losing Emmanuel Sanders in free agency and trading Marquise Goodwin to the Eagles on Saturday. They […]

Jaguars Go With Tight End In Sixth Round

With the 206th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars took Georgia Tech tight end Tyler Davis. The Jaguars mostly focused on improving their defense early in the draft, but Davis makes it three straight picks on the offensive side of the ball. Davis took a step back in 2019 in college. […]

Vikings Take Josh Metellus With Second Sixth-Round Pick

The Minnesota Vikings selected Michigan safety Josh Metellus with the 205th overall pick in the sixth round, their second pick of the round. Metellus is stocky at 5-foot-11, 209 pounds, but he still has solid athleticism. The big thing with him is that he has the versatility to play anywhere at the second level or […]

Patriots Pick Up Cassh Maluia

With the 204th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots drafted Wyoming inside linebacker Cassh Maluia in the sixth round. Maluia wasn't really on the draft radar this year, but the Patriots are really good at finding those under-the-radar players that don't exactly stand out on tape. He's stocky at 6-foot, […]

Blake Brandel Goes To Vikings In Sixth Round

With the 203rd overall pick in the sixth round, the Minnesota Vikings selected Oregon State offensive tackle Blake Brandel. The Vikings used a pick on an offensive tackle in the second round with Ezra Cleveland, and Brandel becomes the second tackle taken by the Vikes in this draft. Brandel wasn't really on the draft radar. […]

Cardinals Go With Evan Weaver At No. 202

The Arizona Cardinals selected California inside linebacker Evan Weaver with the 202nd overall pick in the sixth round. This is a really nice value pick this late in the draft for the Cardinals, as Weaver plays upright. His athleticism may be lacking at 6-foot-2, 237 pounds, but he has excellent instincts and works his way […]

Alohi Gilman Gives Chargers Secondary Depth

The Los Angeles Chargers selected Notre Dame safety Alohi Gilman with the No. 186 overall pick in the sixth round of this year's draft. Gilman is very average across the board with his speed and size (5-foot-11, 201 pounds), but he's smooth and athletic roaming the secondary and forced six fumbles in the last two […]

First Long Snapper Goes To Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins drafted LSU long snapper Blake Ferguson with the No. 185 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Ferguson was the Tigers long snapper each of the last four seasons and was a two-time team captain. He's undersized for a long snapper at 6-foot-3, 229 pounds, but has good […]
