Broncos Need More Help From Carlos Henderson, Jake Butt

The Denver Broncos are hoping that wide receiver Carlos Henderson and tight end Jake Butt can take more pressure off of wideouts Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders in 2018. “We saw a lot of where the safety and corner doubled D.T., the safety and corner double ‘E’ and left those (other) guys one-on-one,” head coach […]

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has been the subject of trade rumors lately, has reportedly told a couple of Los Angeles Rams players that he wants in, according to a source.

The New York Giants are asking for two first-round picks in return for any trade for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., according to a league source.

Ndamukong Suh To Line Up At Nose Tackle

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh will line up at nose tackle in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme this year in the base defense. Aaron Donald will continue to play the "three-technique" spot, which typically lines up on the outside shoulder of an offensive guard. Suh is as […]

Trey Burton To Have Big Role In Offense

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy wants tight end Trey Burton to fill the "U" position that Travis Kelce formerly had in his offense in Kansas City. The position is a receiver/tight end hybrid role. “It’s an important role,” Nagy said. “It’s easy to create some plays for. And when you have a guy that […]

Patriots Meet With Johnny Manziel

The New England Patriots met with free-agent quarterback Johnny Manziel after his workout on Tuesday, according to a source. Manziel played just two seasons in Cleveland after being selected in the first round (22nd overall) in 2014 due to off-field issues. He comes with heavy baggage and is unlikely to get another shot in the […]

Seahawks Release Trevone Boykin

The Seattle Seahawks released quarterback Trevone Boykin in the wake of a troubling domestic-violence investigation.

The Oakland Raiders are releasing tight end Clive Walford, according to a source. The former third-round pick is expected to find a new home in short order.

Teddy Bridgewater's Knee Is A Concern

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee), who is now with the Jets, had a concerning postseason medical evaluation of his left knee. "The reports I'd get back from the medical people weren't as positive as I was about it," Zimmer said. "That's kind of how it came down is that […]

Giants To Visit With Saquon Barkley

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said the team will host Penn State running back Saquon Barkley for a top-30 visit and called his skill set "unique." The Giants have the second overall pick in this year's draft and could elect for Barkley over a signal caller. The G-Men could certainly use a back […]

Texans Signing Brandon Weeden

The Houston Texans are signing free-agent quarterback Brandon Weeden to be their backup to Deshaun Watson. Weeden hasn't thrown a pass in two years and won't have any fantasy relevance holding the clipboard for Watson in Houston.

Deshaun Watson Ahead Of Schedule

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery, but the team is unsure how much he'll do in spring workouts. Barring any offseason setbacks, Watson should be fully recovered in time for training camp and Week 1 of the regular season. He put up big […]

Luke Kuechly, Julius Peppers May Not Be Ready For OTAs

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly (shoulder) and defensive end Julius Peppers (shoulder), who both had offseason shoulder surgeries to fix labrum tears in their right shoulders, may miss organized team activities up through minicamps.

No Timetable For Curtis Samuel

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (ankle) has no timetable to return after having surgery to fix ligament damage in his ankle, and he's hoping to be back by training camp this summer. “Straight-ahead (running), very much so. Not a lot of cutting and breaking right now. I think they’re just slowly working him back […]

Broncos Haven't Given Up On Paxton Lynch

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said the team hasn't given up on quarterback Paxton Lynch. “By no means is Paxton done. ... We believe in Paxton," Joseph said. Injuries and poor performance in five games in two seasons have relegated Lynch to draft bust as a first-rounder in 2016 so far in his two-year […]

Dillon Peters To Start Sunday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Dillon Peters has earned a spot in the starting rotation and will start the fourth game of the season this Sunday against the Cubs. In his first big league action last year for the Fish in six starts, Peters was roughed up to the tune of a 5.17 ERA and 1.63 […]

Blake Bortles Is Pain-Free

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said quarterback Blake Bortles (wrist) has been "pain-free" with "no limitations" during his offseason training in California. Bortles should be good to go for all offseason workouts, barring any setbacks. Despite bouncing back in 2017 and leading the Jags to an AFC title appearance, Bortles was still a glorified […]

Giants Non-Committal On Brandon Marshall

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur was non-committal on wide receiver Brandon Marshall (ankle), who has yet to pass a physical.

Chris Carson 100 Percent

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson (leg) is 100 percent healthy and has no concerns about being ready for organized team activities. Seattle's offensive line and running game has been a disaster for several years now. Carson was the best backfield option to begin the season, but he lasted just […]

Titans Agree With Blaine Gabbert

The Tennessee Titans agreed to sign free-agent quarterback Blaine Gabbert on Tuesday. Gabbert wound up starting five games in 2017 for the Cardinals after injuries to Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton, and he went 2-3 while throwing for 1,086 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions. He predictably wasn't all that great, though, with a 55.6 […]

Peyton Barber Is The Starter In Tampa

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said running back Peyton Barber is the current starter, and they have "high" confidence in him. However, things could change, and they did target a free-agent running back. The Bucs are also fully expected to address the backfield early in the draft in what is a good class. […]

Ryan Tannehill Will Be Ready For OTAs

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) will be ready for organized team activities. This was expected, but it's nice to get confirmation. The 29-year-old signal caller missed all of the 2017 season with a knee injury, and although he has already been named the starter, the Dolphins are seriously considering […]

49ers Consider Jerick McKinnon A Three-Down Back

The San Francisco 49ers consider running back Jerick McKinnon a three-down back. "We think he's a great third-down back. We also think he's good on first and second down, too," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. San Fran signed McKinnon to be their main workhorse in 2018, although Matt Breida should spell him here and there. […]

Cameron Artis-Payne Will Have Opportunity

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said running back Cameron Artis-Payne "will most certainly get that opportunity" to replace Jonathan Stewart as the power back for the team. Artis-Payne might be intriguing as a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in 2018, but the Panthers are also a good bet to address the running back position early in […]
