Ravens Work Out Michael Floyd
The Baltimore Ravens worked out free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd, according to a source.

Vikings Sign Kendall Wright
The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to a source.

Rob Gronkowski A Trade Candidate?
The longer New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski goes without officially committing to play in 2018, the greater chances the Patriots will consider trading him, according to a "Bill Belichick-friendly source."
