Steelers Won't Tag Le'Veon Bell

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said the team will not place the franchise or transition tag on running back Le'Veon Bell. "Le’Veon is still a great player.

Dolphins Could Move On From DeVante Parker, Danny Amendola

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker is believed to already be gone and wideout Danny Amendola is iffy to be re-signed as well. Even Kenny Stills could be at risk with a $4 million salary cap savings if he's cut. The Dolphins have been wanting to move on from Parker for a while, so that […]

Giants Still Have Shot At Bryce Harper

It's unclear how big of a contract the San Francisco Giants will/have offered free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper, but the belief is that they have a shot at him and the Phillies have a tough road to get something done.

Bryce Harper Reluctant To Sign With Phillies?

Free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper is believed to be reluctant to sign with the Philadelphia Phillies, according to sources.

The Phillies are thought to be the favorites to land Harper, especially now […]

Buccaneers Sign Andre Ellington

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free-agent running back Andre Ellington to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday. Ellington played almost five seasons under head coach Bruce Arians in their time with the Cardinals, so the two have familiarity.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) said that he wouldn't restructure his current deal. "It ain’t happening. No way Jose," Sanders tweeted.

The San Diego Padres are not ruling out signing free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper after they agreed to a 10-year, $300 million deal with shortstop Manny Machado on Tuesday.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said his client will likely make a decision on his playing future "in the next couple of weeks."

The San Diego Padres agreed to a 10-year deal for $300 million with free-agent shortstop Manny Machado on Tuesday, according to a league source.

Tyler Glasnow Experimenting With Pause In Delivery

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is experimenting with an Alex Cobb-like pause in his delivery during live batting practice on Tuesday.

Joakim Soria Has Right Hip Discomfort

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Joakim Soria will be held back in camp a bit as he deals with right hip discomfort. Unless the injury gets worse, Soria has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day. The 34-year-old had a 3.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 75 K's in 60 2/3 innings for the White […]

Johnny Cueto Throws On Monday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) said he threw from 45 feet on Monday and felt good. It was the first time he had thrown since having Tommy John surgery.
