49ers Open To Trading Their First-Round Picks

The San Francisco 49ers have fielded calls on both of their first-round picks (No. 13 and 31 overall) and are open to trading either or both picks, according to league sources. After pick No. 31, the Niners aren't scheduled to pick again until No. 156 in the fifth round, so general manager John Lynch would […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Signs One-Year Tender

San Francisco 49ers exclusive-rights free-agent running back Jeff Wilson Jr. signed his one-year tender offer on Monday. Wilson had no outside negotiating rights, however, so it was never in question that he was signing his deal. The 24-year-old contributed 105 rushing yards on 27 carries (3.9 yards per tote) and four touchdowns in 2019, while […]

Chiefs Rumored To Be Eyeing Henry Ruggs III

There's a wild rumor floating around that the Kansas City Chiefs want to trade up for Alabama's Henry Ruggs III if he falls into the 20s in the first round of this week's draft. It would be an embarrassment of riches for a Kansas City offense that just won the Super Bowl and is one […]

Henry Ruggs III Won't Get Past Eagles

Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is not expected to get past the Philadelphia Eagles at pick No. 21 in this week's draft. The Eagles would especially love to have Ruggs with their first-round pick if general manager Howie Roseman is able to trade Alshon Jeffery this week. But even if Jeffery sticks around for […]

Falcons Want To Trade Up For Cornerback

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff wants to trade up for one of the top two cornerbacks in this year's draft. It's the worst-kept secret in draft rooms around the league this year. Florida's C.J. Henderson and Ohio State's Jeff Okudah are the top two corners this year, and the Falcons may just move up […]

Buccaneers Looking For Pass-Catching Running Back

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers would love to grab a complete running back who can catch the football consistently to complement quarterback Tom Brady in this year's draft, but they are also looking for a top cornerback. The fact that the Bucs aren't satisfied with Ronald Jones II is bad news for his fantasy potential in […]

Mike Mayock Loves CeeDee Lamb

Las Vegas Raiders general manager Mike Mayock loves Oklahoma wide receiver Ceedee Lamb and thinks he's the most complete receiver in this stacked draft class, even though head coach Jon Gruden likely would prefer Alabama's Henry Ruggs as a deep threat. With the No. 12 overall pick in the first round, the Raiders are expected […]

Jaguars Have Discussed Trading Up In First Round

The Jacksonville Jaguars, who own the No. 9 pick in the first round of this week's draft, have talked about trading up, possibly to take one of the top two cornerbacks -- either Florida's C.J. Henderson or Ohio State's Jeff Okudah. The Jaguars traded away Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye, so they could definitely use […]

Panthers Expected To Address Defensive Need With First Pick

The Carolina Panthers have a slew of defensive needs, and they are expected to address one of them with the No. 7 overall pick in this week's draft. They could take cornerback C.J. Henderson because of a desperate corner need, but Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown also makes a lot of sense because of Carolina's […]

Chargers Love Andrew Thomas

The Los Angeles Chargers have loved Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas, a first-team All-American left tackle who played against the highest level of competition in college. Needing more help on the left side of the offensive line, Thomas would be a smart pick by the Bolts at No. 6 overall if they decide to pass […]

Jets To Meet With Jamal Adams After The Draft

New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas said that he'll meet with safety Jamal Adams after the draft to talk about a contract. It doesn't sound like the two sides have had recent contract talks, but Douglas said he plans to "keep Jamal here for a long time." The Jets aren't in any rush to […]

Giants Have Looked Extensively At Justin Herbert

The New York Giants have spent a lot of time researching Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, a process that has included video conversations with head coach Joe Judge. The Giants continue to look at all their options with the No. 4 overall selection in the first round, even though it's highly unlikely that they'll go with […]

No Takers Yet For Leonard Fournette

The Jacksonville Jaguars trade talks centered around running back Leonard Fournette have gone on for more than a month, and they recently circled back with teams in the last three days, according to sources. There haven't been any takers yet, which is a sign that Fournette could be headed out before the 2020 season. ESPN's […]

Cowboys, Dak Prescott Have Had Positive Talks

The Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott have spoken in the last two weeks about a long-term contract extension, and a source described the talks as "very positive." It's unknown if Prescott will take part in the start of the virtual offseason program that starts on Monday, but he's not expected to without a new […]

David Moore Signs Tender Offer

Seattle Seahawks restricted free-agent wide receiver David Moore officially signed his tender on Sunday. Moore will return to Seattle for at least one more season after the 25-year-old was given an original-round tender from the Seahawks. He's set to make $2.133 million in 2020 before hitting free agency again next offseason. The seventh-round pick in […]

Yasiel Puig In No Rush To Sign

Free-agent outfielder Yasiel Puig is not close to signing a contract and is in no rush to do so with baseball currently suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic. Puig's focus is slowly turning toward the 2021 season with MLB in shutdown mode. If baseball is played and Puig signs with a team this year, he'll […]

Joe Thuney A Trade Candidate During Draft

New England Patriots left guard Joe Thuney, who signed his franchise tender for $14.78 million, is a candidate to be traded during next week's draft with the team tight against the salary cap. Head coach Bill Belichick would seriously consider dealing Thuney if the team is offered a second- or high third-rounder in exchange for […]

Patriots Will Take A Quarterback In The Draft

With the New England Patriots only having quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer on the roster, the question is not "if" the Patriots select a quarterback in this year's draft, but "when." There could be a scenario where either Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa or Oregon's Justin Herbert slide far enough into the first round that the […]

Broncos Could Be Eyeing Jerry Jeudy

The Denver Broncos are expected to trade up from pick No. 15 in the first round of next week's draft, and sources are saying that they could go up to No. 8 or No. 10 to select Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. The top three wideouts in this stacked class include Jeudy, teammate Henry Ruggs […]

Jerry Hughes On Track In Recovery From Surgeries

Buffalo Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes (groin, wrist), who has never missed a game with the Bills since joining the team in 2013, is on track in his recovery from multiple offseason surgeries. “Everything seems to be on track, going along well with my rehab. I’m still able to go to the facility four times […]

Jets Interested In Trading Back?

Sources say that New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas is open to dropping a few spots in the first round of next week's draft. Douglas comes from two trade-happy teams (Ravens and Eagles) and could bring the same philosophy to the Jets in his first draft as GM. If New York were to trade […]

Everything On The Table With Jamal Adams

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams remains unhappy heading into the final season of his rookie deal without a long-term contract, and everything remains on the table. A trade seems unlikely with the draft approaching next week, but it can't be ruled out after the team shopped him at the deadline in 2019. From all […]

Jaguars Having Trade Talks About Leonard Fournette

The Jacksonville Jaguars have had trade talks with other teams involving running back Leonard Fournette, according to league sources. Fournette is due $4.16 million in base salary in 2020, and it's a situation that should be watched closely as next week's draft approaches. The 25-year-old played in 15 games in 2019 and had a career-high […]

Brian Hill Signs Tender Offer

Atlanta Falcons restricted free-agent running back Brian Hill signed his original-round tender on Saturday. Hill will make $2.144 million in 2020, but he's pushed further down the depth chart with Todd Gurley now in town. The former fifth-round pick in 2017 had 78 rushing attempts for 323 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns, […]

Laviska Shenault Will Be 100 Percent Healthy By Next Week

Dr. William Meyers, the doctor who performed core muscle surgery on Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault, sent a letter to all 32 teams saying that Shenault will be 100 percent recovered by April 25. It should help his draft stock as a fringe first-round talent, but many scouts and front-office executives still think that Shenault […]

Jets Considering Freeing Up Money To Add Logan Ryan

The New York Jets are considering freeing up money in order to make a run at free-agent cornerback Logan Ryan, the former Patriot and Titan defensive back. Ryan won two Super Bowl rings in New England and is coming off the best season in his career in 2019 in which he had 18 passes defensed (third […]

Mekhi Becton Had Drug Test Flagged At Combine

Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton was one of multiple players that had his drug test flagged at the NFL combine in February, according to sources. NFL teams were already made aware of this, and Becton didn't have any failed tests in college. Under the new collective bargaining rules, he'll go into Stage 1 for no […]

Some Teams View Isaiah Simmons As A Safety

Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons worked out with the linebackers at the NFL combine in February and was expected to be viewed as a WILL linebacker at the next level, but a number of teams think Simmons' future is at safety. Another team said they think he is one of the best edge rushers in this […]

Kareem Hunt Officially Back With Browns

Cleveland Browns restricted free-agent running back Kareem Hunt is signing his second-round tender offer on Friday, making it official that he'll be back with the team in 2020. No other team bothered to sign Hunt to an offer sheet, so he'll return to Cleveland and continue to work alongside Nick Chubb in the backfield, primarily […]

Bears Releasing Trey Burton

The Chicago Bears are releasing tight end Trey Burton on Friday, according to a source. Burton was a big free-agent bust for Chicago in his two seasons. He had 54 catches for 569 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in 2018, but he played in just eight games (five starts) in 2019 due to injury […]
