Ryon Healy Sent Down

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. Milwaukee also has Jedd Gyorko, Brock Holt, Justin Smoak and Eric Sogard who are capable of playing the corner spots. Healy, 28, […]

Trey Mancini Released From Hospital

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini has been released from the hospital but will undergo more testing, according to general manager Mike Elias.

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. Seals-Jones is now free to sign with any team. It makes sense for the Browns after they signed Austin Hooper on the first day of free agency earlier this week. […]

Bills Have Interest In Melvin Gordon

The Buffalo Bills are interested in free-agent running back Melvin Gordon III, according to a source. However, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported on Thursday that Gordon won't get anything close to what the Chargers offered him before the 2019 season.

Sean Payton Tests Positive For Coronavirus

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton tested positive for coronavirus.

Rams Release Todd Gurley

The Los Angeles Rams released running back Todd Gurley II on Thursday before the $10.5 million became fully guaranteed on his contract, according to a source. The Rams had been trying to trade Gurley, but his huge contract was too much for other teams to take on. He has gone from being the no-doubt No. […]

Vikings Retain Dan Bailey

The Minnesota Vikings re-signed kicker Dan Bailey to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. Bailey, 32, fell off in 2017 and 2018 but rebounded in 2019 with Minnesota to make 93.1 percent of his field-goal tries on 29 attempts, including going 3-for-3 from 50-plus yards out.

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.

Logan Ryan Open To Short-Term Deal

Free-agent cornerback Logan Ryan, who is one of the top defensive players available, is open to entertaining all offers and will consider a short-term deal.

Buccaneers Unlikely To Sign Antonio Brown

There was a sense that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady would want to bring free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown with him to Tampa, but head coach Bruce Arians isn't in favor of such a move.

Cardinals Adding De'Vondre Campbell

The Arizona Cardinals agreed to a one-year, $8.5 million deal with former Atlanta Falcons linebacker De'Vondre Campbell on Thursday.

Joe Flacco Should Be Healthy For 2020 Season

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) -- he was released on Thursday -- didn't require neck surgery and the belief is that he'll be healthy for the 2020 season.

Joe Flacco Being Waived

The Denver Broncos informed quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) that he is being waived on Thursday with a failed-physical designation, according to a source.

Rams Put Brandin Cooks On Trade Block

Redskins Signing Logan Thomas

The Washington Redskins will sign tight end Logan Thomas to an undisclosed deal, according to a source.

Thomas, a converted quarterback, caught 16 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown […]

Redskins Won't Be Acquiring Jameis Winston

The Washington Redskins have no chance of acquiring quarterback Jameis Winston, according to a source. Winston is out of a job now that the Buccaneers have agreed with quarterback Tom Brady, but the market has been basically non-existent for the turnover-prone gunslinger. Washington seems content to give the starting job over to Dwayne Haskins full […]

Todd Gurley II Could Be Traded

The Los Angeles Rams are currently in discussions regarding a possible trade of running back Todd Gurley II. Gurley's touches were scaled back drastically in 2019, as he had a career-low 223 carries.
