Magneuris Sierra Has Tight Hamstring

Updating a previous report, Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra (hamstring) was diagnosed with a tight left hamstring after leaving the Grapefruit League game early on Wednesday. While this could hurt his chances of being ready for the start of the season, Sierra wasn't expected to begin on the major league roster anyway, and he's likely […]

Magneuris Sierra Removed From Game

Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra (leg) was removed from the spring game early Wednesday after pulling up lame while running out a ground ball. Sierra needs plenty of seasoning in the minors with his new team, but hopefully this injury doesn't set him back from a developmental standpoint. Speed and contact is Sierra's game, but […]

Stephen Vogt Still Dealing With Shoulder Strain

After a second opinion, it was confirmed that Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) continues to deal with a strain in his right shoulder capsule. Manager Craig Counsell said, "I don't think Opening Day is likely." Vogt was battling for backup duties with catcher Jett Bandy, with Manny Pina set to open the season as […]

Ravens Releasing Jeremy Maclin

The Baltimore Ravens are releasing wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on Wednesday, according to a source. The 29-year-old Maclin was a major free-agent bust for the Ravens in 2017, posting only 40 receptions for 440 yards (career-low 11.0 yards per catch) and three touchdowns in 12 games. His release makes more sense after the team recently […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins To Meet With Seahawks

Free-agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins plans to visit with the Seattle Seahawks. The big tight end is from Washington and played his college ball at the University of Washington, so the Seahawks may be considered the favorites for his services, although the Jets are interested in re-signing him and the Falcons are also in the […]

Sebastian Janikowski To Visit With Chargers

Free-agent place kicker Sebastian Janikowski is expected to visit with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a source. The big-legged veteran kicker missed all of the 2017 season due to injury, and the Raiders have moved on after 17 seasons. He remained mostly effective in 2016, however, making 29 of his 35 field goal attempts, […]

Jordy Nelson To Visit Seahawks, Saints

Free-agent wide receiver Jordy Nelson is in demand. He is visiting with the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday and is then scheduled to meet with the Seattle Seahawks and then the New Orleans Saints, according to a source.

Dolphins Restructure Reshad Jones

The Miami Dolphins restructured the contract of safety Reshad Jones on Wednesday, creating $6.6 million in salary cap space, according to a source. He drops his base salary from $9.375 million to $970,000 while also receiving a $4.05 million signing bonus. Jones will collect the same amount of money when all is said and done. […]

Martin Prado Won't Be Ready For Opening Day, Brian Anderson To Start At Third

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado (knee) had a setback while running and will not be ready for Opening Day. With him set to open the season on the disabled list, Brian Anderson will open the year as the starting third baseman, according to manager Don Mattingly. Durability used to be a strong suit for […]

Brad Miller Out Another 4-5 Days

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brad Miller (toe) will miss another four to five days before he's able to play in a game, but his availability for Opening Day shouldn't be impacted, according to manager Kevin Cash. The left-handed hitter slugged a whopping 30 home runs in 2016 but fell back to earth dramatically in 2017, […]

Robinson Cano Could Return To Games Next Week

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano (hamstring) could return to spring games next week after suffering a left hamstring strain. Cano should be fine for Opening Day, barring any setbacks, but the Mariners will likely be cautious with their star second baseman. Don't expect another season approaching 40 home runs for Cano, but he can […]

Michael Crabtree Could Be Released

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree is expected to be released if the team signs free-agent wide receiver Jordy Nelson, who was visiting with Oakland on Tuesday. Releasing Crabtree would result in more than $7 million in salary cap space. The Raiders would be a familiar fit for Nelson, as he has history with wide […]

Broncos Expected To Move On From Trevor Siemian

The Denver Broncos are expected to move on from quarterback Trevor Siemian after signing Case Keenum, and the team has started fielding calls on Siemian from interested teams, according to a source. A former seventh-round pick, Siemian has shown glimpses of production, but he was mostly bad in 2017. The Broncos could also draft a […]

Mike Glennon To Sign With Cardinals

Free-agent quarterback Mike Glennon is expected to sign with the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday when he's officially released by the Bears. A Cardinals source said that "Glennon is done."

Jordy Nelson Visiting With Raiders

Free-agent wide receiver Jordy Nelson is visiting with the Oakland Raiders, according to a source. Nelson was surprisingly cut by the Packers on Tuesday, but he's expected to land on his feet soon with a new team.

Derek Carrier Agrees With Raiders

The Oakland Raiders agreed to a three-year deal with free-agent tight end Derek Carrier on Tuesday, according to a source.

Ravens Tender Alex Collins

The Baltimore Ravens tendered a contract to free-agent running back Alex Collins as an exclusive-rights free agent. Collins ended up being Baltimore's most effective back in 2017, rushing for 973 yards and six touchdowns on 212 carries. He also recorded 23 catches for 187 yards through the air.

The New Orleans Saints are expected to make a big play for free-agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins after they lost out on reuniting with Jimmy Graham. The Falcons and Seahawks are also interested in ASF after he caught 50 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns for the Jets in 2017. While Seferian-Jenkins cut out […]

Jets Working On Deal For Teddy Bridgewater

The New York Jets are working on a deal for free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, according to a source. The Jets aren't Bridgewater's only option, but he is the Jets first choice of what's left on the market. Kirk Cousins looks set to sign with Minnesota, and Case Keenum has already signed with Denver, so the […]

Zac Stacy Attempting Comeback

Former Rams and Jets running back Zac Stacy attended Vanderbilt's Pro Day on Tuesday and is attempting a comeback.

Free-agent running back Dion Lewis, widely regarded as the top back on the market, is receiving varying levels of interest from the Dolphins, Jets, Giants, Titans, Texans, Colts and 49ers, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Broncos Inquired About Ja'Wuan James

The Denver Broncos inquired about trading for Miami Dolphins right tackle Ja'Wuan James, but the Dolphins plan on keeping him, according to a source. There was belief that the Dolphins might be interested in swapping James to Denver for running back C.J. Anderson, but apparently that isn't the case. James was a potential salary cap […]

Broncos Exercise Demaryius Thomas' Option

As expected, the Denver Broncos exercised wide receiver Demaryius Thomas' $4 million option to trigger the final two years of his deal on Tuesday. Thomas had a down year in 2017, going under the 1,000-yard mark for the first time since 2011 in the days of Tim Tebow. However, it was largely due to the […]

Falcons Interested In Ed Dickson

The Atlanta Falcons are one of the teams expressing a "strong" interest in free-agent tight end Ed Dickson, according to sources.

Saints Place Tender On Willie Snead

The New Orleans Saints placed a tender on restricted free-agent Willie Snead that will be the right of first refusal only, according to a source. There will certainly be a market for Snead, and teams won't have to give up a draft pick to snag him. Snead was a major disappointment in 2017 after serving an […]

The Chicago Bears are signing free-agent tight end Trey Burton to a four-year, $32 million deal, according to a source.
