Terrelle Pryor To Visit With Seahawks Sunday

Free-agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor will visit with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, according to a source. Quarterback Russell Wilson is recruiting Pryor hard. Pryor was a free-agent bust with the Redskins, playing in only nine games due to injury and catching 20 passes for 240 yards and one touchdown. He broke out with a […]

Jaron Brown Agrees With Seahawks

Free-agent wide receiver Jaron Brown agreed to terms with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday, according to a source. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Brown will help with the losses of receiver Paul Richardson and tight end Jimmy Graham, but they may not be done adding just yet. Brown had his best season in 2017 […]

Marcus Stroman Throws Two Innings Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (shoulder) tossed two scoreless innings against the Canadian National team on Saturday. "I thought it went really well. I'm ready to rock. Just progress over the next two starts and looking forward to pitching against the Yankees on Sunday," Stroman said. Barring any setbacks, Stroman should be just […]

Raiders Expected To Sign Rashaan Melvin

The Oakland Raiders are expected to sign free-agent cornerback Rashaan Melvin, according to a source. Melvin was regarded as the best cornerback left on the market, and he'll help improve an Oakland secondary that lost T.J. Carrie and Sean Smith. Melvin was having a great year in 2017 before suffering an injury. He had 36 […]

Chargers Expected To Sign Caleb Sturgis

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to sign free-agent place kicker Caleb Sturgis, according to a source. Sturgis made all three of his field goal attempts for the Eagles last year before landing on Injured Reserve. He's made only 81 percent of his 137 attempts in five NFL seasons and is 13-for-24 on attempts of […]

Vikings Release Jarius Wright

The Minnesota Vikings released wide receiver Jarius Wright after he restructured his deal last year. Wright had 18 catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns in his final season with the Vikings in 2017. He never had more than 42 catches, 588 yards or three scores in his six years with the Vikes. Wright is […]

Patriots Agree With Adrian Clayborn

The New England Patriots reached an agreement with free-agent defensive end Adrian Clayborn on Friday, according to a source. Clayborn is coming off a career-high 9.5 sacks with the Falcons in 2017, but before last year, he hadn't recorded more than 4.5 sacks since his 7.5-sack rookie season in 2011. Clayborn will provide pass-rushing help […]

Patriots Sign Jeremy Hill

The New England Patriots signed free-agent running back Jeremy Hill on Friday, according to a source. Hill had a promising rookie year with the Bengals, putting up 1,124 yards on the ground and nine touchdowns, but aside from his career-high 11 scores in 2015, he averaged less than 4.0 yards per carry in his last […]

Mike Pouncey To Visit With Chargers

Free-agent center Mike Pouncey will start his visits with the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, according to a source. Pouncey graded out poory with the Dolphins in 2017, but he can provide a stabilizing and veteran presence on an offensive line that surely could use it in LA.

Sheldon Richardson Agrees With Vikings

Free-agent defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson agreed to a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source. Already a top fantasy defense heading into the 2018 season, the Vikings just got considerably better on the defensive line with the addition of Richardson. He had just 2.5 sacks the last two years but will be […]

Chiefs Signing Chad Henne

The Kansas City Chiefs are signing free-agent quarterback Chad Henne to a two-year deal, according to a source. He will serve as the backup to young quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The veteran Henne will serve as a mentor for the promising Mahomes. Henne has attempted just two passes in the regular season since 2015 and won't […]

Texans Claim Sammie Coates

The Houston Texans claimed wide receiver Sammie Coates off waivers from the Cleveland Browns on Friday, according to a source. Coates had only six receptions for 70 yards in 12 games for the Browns in his lone season, and he hasn't had more than 21 catches for 435 yards in his three NFL seasons. Coates […]

Jerick McKinnon To Have Large Role In Niners Offense

The San Francisco 49ers placed a large priority on running back Jerick McKinnon in free agency, which is why they signed him to a four-year, $30 million deal ($11.7 million in guarantees). Head coach Kyle Shanahan sees McKinnon filling the Devonta Freeman role from his time in Atlanta. McKinnon averaged 4.0 yards per attempt on […]

Blue Jays Sign Danny Espinosa

The Toronto Blue Jays signed free-agent second baseman Danny Espinosa to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training on Saturday. Espinosa appeared in 12 spring games for the Yankees but was released on March 12. The 30-year-old had his best years with the Nationals from 2010 to 2016, but he's hit just […]

Yoenis Cespedes Expects To Play Monday

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (wrist) received at-bats in a minor league game Saturday and said his wrist feels good. He's expected to play in a spring training game Monday and will be ready for Opening Day. Saying that Cespedes is dealing with an injury is almost like saying the sky is blue. It […]

Erasmo Ramirez Unlikely To Be Ready

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Erasmo Ramirez (shoulder) will not throw a bullpen session until the last week of the spring, which makes it unlikely that he'll be ready to start April 11 when the team needs a fifth starter for the first time. Pitchers Robert Whalen or Ariel Miranda could be used to fill in […]

Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz, Ichiro Suzuki To Take Swings

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano (hamstring) and outfielders Nelson Cruz (quadriceps) and Ichiro Suzuki (calf) are all scheduled to take swings Saturday. Cano and Cruz will hit in the cages, while Suzuki will take batting practice on the field. All three will likely be held out of game action until Wednesday. The M's are […]

Dominic Smith Still Not Running

New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith (quadriceps) still has enough pain in his quad to prevent him from running, but he is hoping to play in a spring game before the team breaks camp. The Mets were already skeptical of using Smith as the everyday first baseman heading into 2018 after he struggled to […]

Yoenis Cespedes To Receive At-Bats Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (wrist) will receive at-bats in minor league camp Saturday. Barring any setbacks, Cespedes will be fine for Opening Day. When healthy, he can put up elite outfield numbers for fantasy owners, but it always seems to be something with Cespedes on the injury front. He's a high-risk, high-reward fantasy […]

Greg Olsen Committed To Playing In 2018

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is committed to playing in 2018 and beyond despite the fact that he was auditioning for an ESPN broadcasting job on Friday, according to sources. Olsen is just setting himself up for life after football apparently. Not many would have blamed Olsen for hanging up his cleats after a […]

Markus Wheaton Visiting Seattle

Free-agent wide receiver Markus Wheaton is visiting the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source. After losing tight end Jimmy Graham and receiver Paul Richardson in free agency, the Seahawks are in desperate need of pass-catching help. Unfortunately, Wheaton probably wouldn't provide that. He failed to stay healthy in 2017, catching all of three passes for […]

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie To Take His Time

Free-agent cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said he's in no rush to make a decision in free agency, and he may wait until "April sometime." The Redskins have shown some interest in DRC, but the veteran cornerback won't sign with them right away. Rodgers-Cromartie didn't intercept a pass last year for the first time since 2011, but […]

Latavius Murray Restructures Contract

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray restructured his contract ahead of the deadline Friday, when he would've been guaranteed $5.15 million. Murray ran for 842 yards and eight touchdowns for the Vikes last season, but he saw more work than expected when rookie Dalvin Cook blew out his knee early in the year. With Cook […]

Saints Bring Back Alex Okafor

The New Orleans Saints re-signed linebacker Alex Okafor on a two-year deal worth up to $10 million, according to a source. Okafor was having an All-Pro season before he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. He racked up 43 tackles and 4.5 sacks in just 10 games, and the Saints understandably want to see what he […]

Thomas Rawls Visiting With Chiefs

Free-agent running back Thomas Rawls is visiting with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, according to a source. Rawls had a promising rookie year in 2015 with 147 carries for 830 yards (5.6 yards per carry) and four touchdowns for Seattle, but an ankle injury later that year has doomed him since. He has been […]

Bills Re-Sign Taiwan Jones

The Buffalo Bills re-signed running back Taiwan Jones to a one-year deal on Friday. Jones broke his arm in Week 9 against the Jets last year, but when healthy played a "gunner" role on special teams mainly. Unless Buffalo's running game suffers widespread injuries, Jones can be ignored for fantasy. He didn't have a single […]

Ed Dickson Joining Seahawks

Free-agent tight end Ed Dickson is signing with the Seattle Seahawks on a three-year deal worth $14 million maximum, with one year fully guaranteed, according to a source. With Jimmy Graham headed to Green Bay and Luke Willson likely moving on as well, Dickson effectively becomes the team's top tight end option. He had 30 […]

Greg Olsen Auditioning As Analyst

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is auditioning Friday to be an analyst on ESPN's Monday Night Football, according to sources. The 33-year-old could continue his career in 2018 if he doesn't get the job. Olsen played in just seven games last year because of a foot injury, which makes sense why he might be […]

Jean Segura Back In Lineup Friday

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) is back in the Cactus League lineup Friday. Segura was removed from the game as a precaution earlier this week after tweaking his hamstring, but obviously it wasn't very serious. After hitting .300 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI and 22 steals in 524 at-bats last year, Segura will […]

Marlins Option Three Pitchers Friday

The Miami Marlins optioned pitchers Adam Conley and Dillon Peters to Triple-A New Orleans and sent Jarlin Garcia to Double-A Jacksonville on Friday. The moves indicate that top pitching prospect Sandy Alcantara could break camp in the starting rotation. The 22-year-old Alcantara came over in the trade that sent outfielder Marcell Ozuna to the Cardinals, […]
