Bucs Could Look To Bring Breshad Perriman Back

The Milwaukee Brewers optioned corner infielder Ryon Healy to Triple-A San Antonio. Healy appears to be the odd man out as a utility infielder at the corner spots to begin the 2020 season.

The New Orleans Saints picked up the 2021 fifth-year options on cornerback Marshon Lattimore and offensive tackle Ryan Ramcyzk on Thursday, according to a source.

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.

Falcons Interested In Todd Gurley

The Atlanta Falcons need a running back and have interest in trading for Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley II, but team sources say they can't afford the salary cap hit that a Gurley trade would bring.

Joe Flacco Being Waived
