Bears Part Ways With Offensive Coordinator

The Chicago Bears dismissed offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, tight ends coach Kevin Gilbride, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand and assistant special teams coach Brock Olivo on Tuesday.

The Minnesota Twins are signing starting pitchers Rich Hill and Homer Bailey to undisclosed one-year deals on Tuesday, according to a source.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace announced on Tuesday that wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) will need surgery on his left shoulder, and it will keep him out until training camp next year.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace announced that the team's plan is for quarterback Mitch Trubisky to be the starting QB in 2020.

The Miami Dolphins are hiring Chan Gailey, who is coming out of retirement, to be their next offensive coordinator, according to sources.

Duane Brown Unlikely To Play Against Eagles

Seattle Seahawks left tackle Duane Brown (knee) would need a "miraculous recovery" to play in the wild-card game against the Eagles on Sunday night, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Darren Waller Undergoes Surgery

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller (thumb) underwent surgery on his thumb on Monday. Waller should be fine for training camp next summer.

Kwon Alexander Could Return If 49ers Advance

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) could return if the team advances to the NFC Championship.

Broncos Intend To Re-Sign Justin Simmons

Denver Broncos president John Elway said the team's goal is to re-sign safety Justin Simmons. "We want him back," Elway said.

Denver Broncos president John Elway said that the team will pick up outside linebacker Von Miller's option for the 2020 season.

Denver Broncos president John Elway expects quarterback Drew Lock to open the 2020 season as the starter under center. "I don’t see any other options," Elway said.

Phillip Lindsay In Line For New Deal

Denver Broncos president John Elway said he will look to do a new deal with running back Phillip Lindsay this offseason. "He has heart the size of his whole body," Elway said of Lindsay.

49ers Hopeful Of Getting Dee Ford Back In Playoffs

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that the team is hopeful and optimistic that defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs) will be able to return in the Divisional Round.

Anthony Castonzo Considering Retirement

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo said he will mull his options before deciding to return for another season in 2020. Since being drafted with the 22nd overall pick of the 2011 draft, Castonzo has been one of the better left tackles in the NFL. Losing the 31-year-old going forward would be bad news for […]
