Sam Darnold Not A Realistic Target For Jets

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent quarterback Sam Darnold is not viewed as a realistic target for the New York Jets, both because of his projected price and the unlikelihood that he'd want to return to the team that drafted him. The Jets are expected to target a middle-tier QB and […]

Seahawks Want To Draft A Quarterback

The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider wants to select a quarterback in this year's NFL draft, but he won't force a pick because of how strongly the front office feels about current starter Geno Smith.

Seahawks Unlikely To Make DK Metcalf Available In A Trade

The Athletic's Jeff Howe writes that it doesn't sound likely that the Seattle Seahawks would make wide receiver DK Metcalf available in a trade this offseason. There's been plenty of speculation that teams are already reaching out to Seattle, though, since Metcalf is entering the final season of his three-year, $72 million deal. The Athletic's […]

Travis Hunter Could Be First Overall Pick

The Athletic's Jeff Howe writes that if Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter isn't the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft, he will draw serious consideration from the Cleveland Browns at No. 2, according to league sources.

Cowboys Making A Play To Re-Sign Osa Odighizuwa

ESPN's Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler write that the Dallas Cowboys are making a play to re-sign defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa before March 10.

Cowboys To Pass On Ashton Jeanty In First Round?

Running back is one of the Dallas Cowboys' biggest needs in the upcoming NFL draft, but The Athletic's Jon Machota writes that it doesn't sound like they view it as their top priority at No. 12 overall.

Rams Not Completely Shutting The Door On Cooper Kupp

Although the Los Angeles Rams have made it crystal clear that they plan to trade veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp this offseason, head coach Sean McVay isn't completing slamming the door shut on Kupp's potential return. "You know, I think I would never speak in absolutes. But I do think let's gather all of the […]

Rams Stay On Year-To-Year Terms With Matthew Stafford

By agreeing to a contract restructure last Friday with quarterback Matthew Stafford, the Los Angeles Rams were able to stay on year-to-year terms with the veteran signal-caller. The adjusted contract will be structured under his existing framework that runs through 2026, according to The Athletic's Jourdan Rodriguez. No new years were added, so both sides […]

Bengals Officially Place Franchise Tag On Tee Higgins

Justin Lawrence Claimed Off Waivers By Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates claimed right-hander Justin Lawrence off waivers on Monday from the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old reliever finds a new home in the National League after being waived by the Rockies on Saturday.

Alexis Diaz Working His Way Back From Tweaked Hamstring

Cincinnati Reds closer Alexis Diaz (hamstring) tweaked his hamstring a week or so into camp when he slipped during fielding practice, which caused the Reds to "slow-play" him.

Jacob deGrom To Start In Back End Of The Rotation

The Texas Rangers plan to use right-hander Jacob deGrom at "the back end" of their starting rotation when the 2025 regular season begins later this month, according to manager Bruce Bochy.

Luis Gil Won't Throw For Six Weeks With High-Grade Lat Strain

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (lat) has been diagnosed with a high-grade right-lat strain and will not throw for at least six weeks, according to manager Aaron Boone. It's bad news for Gil and the depth of New York's starting rotation to begin the 2025 season. The 26-year-old will most likely miss the first […]

Corbin Carroll Considered Day-To-Day

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) is considered day-to-day in camp, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Back tightness caused the Diamondbacks to pull Carroll from Sunday's Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers.

Free-agent left-hander Jose Quintana agreed to an one-year deal worth $4-5 million with the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday, sources told Francys Romero.

The 36-year-old […]

No Timetable For Parker Meadows' Return

There is no clear timetable for Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows' (arm) return this spring from a nerve issue that he's been dealing with in his right arm, according to the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold.

Jahmai Jones Could Be Dark-Horse Candidate For Opening Day Spot

The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen writes that Detroit Tigers designated hitter Jahmai Jones could be a dark-horse candidate to make the Opening Day roster if outfielder Parker Meadows (arm) opens the year on the injured list. Outfielder Ryan Kreidler, who can also play shortstop in a pinch, is another option. However, Jones is a utility player […]

Trey Sweeney Not A Lock To Start At Shortstop

The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen doesn't have Detroit Tigers infielder Trey Sweeney as a lock to be the team's starting shortstop on Opening Day in late March. Carrying both Sweeney and Zach McKinstry would make the Tigers extremely left-handed and could force outfielder Kerry Carpenter into the lineup against left-handed pitchers. Stavenhagen projects Sweeney opening the […]

Isaac Paredes Could Hit Second In The Lineup

Houston Astros new third baseman Isaac Paredes could hit second for the Astros this year after going 0-for-2 with a walk out of the No. 2 spot in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Washington Nationals, according to manager Joe Espada.
