49ers Interested In Stephen Gostkowski

The San Francisco 49ers are showing interest in free-agent kicker Stephen Gostkowski despite placing the franchise tag on Robbie Gould this offseason, according to a league source. Gould and Gostkowski rank No. 2 and 3 all time in field-goal accuracy at 87.745 and 87.381 percent, respectively. The 49ers and Gould could be at odds in […]

Zach Miller Unsure If He'll Continue Playing

Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller (knee) said he is unsure if he will continue playing football and said his final decision will come soon. The aging tight end has had nine surgeries since a knee injury he suffered in 2017. Even if Miller decides to keep playing, it's unlikely that he'd make much noise […]

Aaron Rodgers Wasn't 100 Percent Last Year

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) said he "really wasn't 100 percent for the entire year" in 2018. His mobility was limited all year as well and he had a series of shots instead of undergoing surgery after consulting with team doctor Pat McKenzie. Rodgers said he also had a tibial plateau fracture in […]

Eagles Sign Charles Johnson

The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent wide receiver Charles Johnson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday. Johnson led the Alliance of American Football league in receiving with 687 yards and five touchdowns on 45 catches in eight games with the Orlando Apollos. The Eagles also signed quarterback Luis Perez and receiver Greg Ward to one-year […]

Nate Karns Placed On Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed pitcher Nate Karns on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right forearm strain and recalled reliever Evan Phillips from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Karns served as the opener for the O's in two games this year and hadn't allowed a run while striking out five in 5 […]

Cowboys Want To Extend Dak Prescott Before Season

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on ESPN's 103.3 on Monday that the team would like to sign quarterback Dak Prescott to a long-term contract extension before the season starts. The Cowboys want Prescott to be paid fairly, but Jones also said it's "gotta be team-friendly." A new deal for Prescott could be […]

Dolphins Sign Ricardo Louis

The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent wide receiver Ricardo Louis to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, according to a source. The 25-year-old will probably make his biggest impact on special teams, but Miami's receiver depth chart is wide open, so don't count Louis out. He has 45 catches for 562 yards and no touchdowns in […]

Buccaneers Shopping Gerald McCoy

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are shopping defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, but they are receiving very little interest in the veteran. The Bucs have been shopping him for weeks and haven't found any takers. McCoy also elected not to show up to the team's organized team activities, so it appears the two sides are headed for […]

Vikings Sign Sean Mannion

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent quarterback Sean Mannion to an undisclosed deal on Sunday, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The 26-year-old will battle Kyle Sloter for the right to back up Kirk Cousins in 2019. Mannion played in 10 games (one start) in four seasons with the Rams and completed 33 of 53 […]

Dwayne Haskins' Stock Is Falling

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins' draft stock continues to sink, according to sources, and he may be the fourth passer picked in this year's draft. Oklahoma's Kyler Murray is expected to go first overall to the Arizona Cardinals, and Missouri's Drew Lock and Duke's Daniel Jones may have also jumped Haskins. Even so, there are […]

Broncos Meet With Drew Lock

The Denver Broncos were scheduled to meet with Missouri quarterback Drew Lock on Sunday and Monday. The Broncos traded for Joe Flacco in the offseason, but he's just a short-term solution. General manager John Elway is believed to be infatuated with Lock, so the Broncos could elect to take him if he's available at pick […]

Dwayne Haskins To Visit With Redskins, Broncos

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins is set to visit with the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos this week, according to a source. Both Washington and Denver have been doing their homework on the top passers in this draft class as they look for a franchise passer. Joe Flacco is just a stopgap in Denver and […]

JaCoby Jones Could Move Rehab Assignment To Triple-A

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones (shoulder) could move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Toledo. The Tigers want him to receive plenty of minor league at-bats to make sure that he's ready when he returns from the injured list, which likely won't happen until next week. Jones has yet to play in 2019 and has a […]

Matt Moore Dealing With Meniscus Injury

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Moore (knee) said he's dealing with a meniscus injury but is encouraged that it can be fixed with rest and rehab instead of through surgery. "It’s not really swollen up very much," Moore said, "so I think that’s kind of why rehabbing, at least giving it a shot, makes so […]

Justin Smoak Not In Lineup Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak (neck) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Alen Hanson will draw the start at first base and is hitting eighth against Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale. Smoak last played on Saturday and has been dealing with a neck issue that has kept him out of […]

Good Chance Redskins Trade For Josh Rosen

There's a good chance the Washington Redskins trade for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen this offseason. Colt McCoy and Case Keenum are merely stopgap solutions, while Alex Smith (leg) may never play again in the NFL. The Cardinals are expected to take Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray at No. 1 overall, which would make Rosen expendable. […]

Nick Chubb Should Be Starter In 2019

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb should be the starting running back in 2019, even after Kareem Hunt serves his eight-game suspension. Chubb, the No. 33 pick in 2018, earned the team's trust with a strong rookie season and should be in the RB1 conversation during draft season. However, Hunt, who led the league in […]

Little Progress Between Seahawks, Russell Wilson

It appears that the Seattle Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson have made "very little progress" in contract-extension negotiations, even though Wilson has set an April 15 deadline. The franchise tag is unrealistic in this situation, and Wilson could want to become the highest paid player at his position this time around (meaning $34-35 million per […]

Bengals Release Mark Walton

The Cincinnati Bengals released running back Mark Walton over the weekend after he was arrested for the third time this year. The fourth-round pick in 2018 finished his rookie season with just 34 rushing yards on 14 carries, as he was buried on the depth chart. He surrendered to police last week to face felony […]

Jalen Ramsey Not Expected To Report For OTAs

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey is unlikely to report for the team's organized team activities, as he prefers to work at his dad's performance-training facility in Nashville. Jacksonville also hasn't signed Ramsey to a contract extension after the 24-year-old make back-to-back Pro Bowl trips. He'll make a base salary of $3.6 million in 2019, ranking […]

DeMarcus Lawrence Needs Surgery

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence will have surgery on Wednesday to fix a torn labrum in his shoulder and is expected to miss four to six months. It'll put his availability for training camp and the start of the season in jeopardy. Lawrence's plan is to miss the entire preseason and be ready for […]

Gerardo Parra Fine After Hit By Pitch

San Francisco Giants outfielder Gerardo Parra has a cut on his lip but is otherwise fine and will be available on Tuesday after being hit in the face by a pitch in the loss to the Padres on Monday night. He was hitless in his lone plate appearance on the night and has just six […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Will Go On Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) will go on the injured list after leaving his start early on Monday with a strained left groin. The good news is that this is a precautionary move, so he shouldn't be out for an extended period of time like he was […]

Mike Clevinger Expects To Make Next Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (back) said he will make his next start after being pulled as a precaution on Sunday against the Blue Jays. Clevinger allowed just one hit in five scoreless innings while walking one and fanning 10 before being pulled against Toronto. He has yet to allow a run in his […]

Alex Avila Placed On Injured List

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed catcher Alex Avila on the injured list on Sunday after he strained his left quadriceps while circling the bases on a home run on Friday. He was hitting .333 with two home runs and five RBI in six games this year and was only attractive in deep two-catcher or NL-only leagues. […]

Nick Tropeano To Throw Simulated Games

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Tropeano (shoulder) is starting to throw simulated games at the team's spring training complex in Arizona with the intention of building up to six innings. He's already thrown five to six bullpen sessions and has been feeling good. The 28-year-old won't be an option for the Halos rotation for […]

Miguel Sano Doing Baseball Activities

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that third baseman Miguel Sano (heel) has progressed past the conditioning stage in his rehab and is now doing baseball activities. Baldelli isn't putting a timetable on Sano starting a rehab assignment but said it "could be maybe within a week." The power-hitting third baseman was a disaster in […]

Aaron Hicks Still Not Hitting

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) is throwing but has yet to resume hitting. The oft-injured outfielder is also a slow healer, which makes him a very frustrating player to own. He is valuable for his power and speed combination in a strong Yankees lineup when he's healthy, but you shouldn't expect him to […]

John Means To Start Tuesday, Dan Straily To Work Out Of 'Pen

Baltimore Orioles pitcher John Means will get the start on Tuesday against the A's, while the O's will use Dan Straily in relief for the time being. The long-term plan is to have Straily work out of the rotation. Means will not be a recommended fantasy streamer on Tuesday, while Straily will be a very […]

Joe Ross Joins Nationals Bullpen

Washington Nationals pitcher Joe Ross was recalled from Triple-A on Sunday to help the team's beleaguered bullpen. Ross was 1-0 with a 4.02 ERA in seven games in spring training and is unlikely to have any fantasy value in a relief role. The 25-year-old has strikeout upside but made only three starts for Washington in […]
