Seahawks Release Brandon Marshall

The Seattle Seahawks released veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall on Tuesday, according to a source. Marshall entered the year as one of the team's better receivers with Doug Baldwin slowed by a knee injury, but he quickly faded when Baldwin returned, and David Moore's emergence has made Marshall expendable. Marshall had 11 catches on 23 […]

Texans Inquire About Phillip Dorsett

The Houston Texans have called about New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, but it doesn't sound like there has been much progress on a potential trade, according to a source.

LeSean McCoy Unlikely To Be Dealt Tuesday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is "highly unlikely" to be traded by the deadline on Tuesday, Oct. 30, according to a league source.

Red Sox Exercise Chris Sale's Option

The Boston Red Sox predictably exercised starting pitcher Chris Sale's $13.5 million option for the 2019 season on Tuesday. Sale was once again one of the best pitchers in all of baseball in 2018, although left shoulder issues slowed him considerably at the end of the year. The southpaw went 12-4 with a 2.11 ERA, […]

A.J. Green Expected To Be Fine

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) is in a walking boot as a precautionary measure and is expected to be fine when the team returns from their bye in Week 10, according to a source.

Eagles Trade For Golden Tate

The Philadelphia Eagles are trading for Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate on Tuesday in exchange for a third-round pick, according to a source. Tate had been a WR2 for fantasy owners but hadn't topped 50 yards or scored since Sept. 30. The move will boost his fantasy value and put him back as more […]

Dante Fowler Attracting Serious Interest

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler has been attracting serious interest as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches, according to sources.

Ben Roethlisberger Has Fractured Finger

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (finger) has a fractured index finger on his left hand that he suffered in the Week 8 win over the Browns.

The Houston Texans are finalizing a deal to acquire wide receiver Demaryius Thomas from the Denver Broncos in exchange for a mid-round pick, according to sources.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta was arrested on Tuesday while driving to the team's practice facility.

A.J. Green In Walking Boot

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) was wearing a boot on his injured right foot in the locker room on Tuesday, but it could just be precautionary.

The Cleveland Indians picked up starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco's $9.75 million option for the 2019 season on Tuesday while declining outfielder Brandon Guyer's $3 million option.

Jamie Collins On Trade Block?

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jamie Collins could be on the trade block and the New England Patriots, who initially traded Collins to the Browns, have discussed bringing him back. The Pats could really use some help around Dont'a Hightower in the middle of their defense, and Collins would be a big upgrade. The 29-year-old has 55 […]

Joey Bosa Feeling Good

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) said he is feeling much better, but he refuses to put a timetable on a potential return date. “(It’s) the first time that I’m really making some strides to get out on the field,” Bosa said. “It’s been a slow progression ever since I left.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) is set to test his sore right hamstring on Thursday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. “I think it treated him well, the reason that I say that is that he’s making a turn for the better,” Quinn said of Bryant getting some rest over the bye week. “We […]

Demaryius Thomas More Likely To Be Traded

It's more likely than not that Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas gets traded at this point, but it could depend on what happens with 49ers receiver Pierre Garcon, Lions wideout Golden Tate and Buccaneers receiver DeSean Jackson. The Eagles, Patriots, Colts, Texans and Titans are all in the market for a receiver. Thomas has […]

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said there is a good chance that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) will return in Week 9 and play against the Saints. Kupp has missed the team's last two games after spraining his knee in Week 6 against the Broncos. Before the injury he had 30 catches on […]

The San Francisco Giants exercised the 2019 options on starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner ($12 million) and corner infielder Pablo Sandoval ($555,000) on Monday.

Astros To Extend Qualifying Offer To Dallas Keuchel

The Houston Astros are planning on extending a $17.9 million qualifying offer to starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel.

The southpaw doesn't miss a ton of bats, but he […]

Diamondbacks Exercise Paul Goldschmidt's Option

The Arizona Diamondbacks exercised first baseman Paul Goldschmidt's $14.5 million option for the 2019 season on Monday. Goldschmidt was uncharacteristically quiet in the first half this year but picked it up in the second half to finish with Goldschmidt-like numbers. The 31-year-old hit a solid .290/.389/.533 with 33 home runs, 83 RBI, 95 runs scored […]

Ronald Jones II Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) is expected to miss a few weeks after straining his hamstring in the Week 8 loss to the Bengals.

LeSean McCoy Playing Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) is active for Monday night against the Patriots.

Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon Active Monday Night

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) are both active on Monday night against the Bills.

Ryan Fitzpatrick To Start In Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will start over Jameis Winston in Week 9 against the Panthers. Fitzmagic strikes again.
