Bills Sign Jeremy Kerley

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Kerley to a one-year deal Monday. The 29-year-old caught 22 passes for just 217 yards and a touchdown in eight games with the Jets in 2017 and is pretty much just a depth addition for the Bills. He's expected to compete for the slot receiver role in […]

Bills Satisfied With Zay Jones

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said the team is "satisfied" with wide receiver Zay Jones. "We all agree we need to move forward, and I'm excited about the future for Zay," McDermott said.

Kelvin Benjamin Taking Part In Offseason Workouts

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (knee), who had surgery in the offseason, took part in the start of voluntary offseason workouts on Monday. While Benjamin likely isn't 100 percent, it's a great sign that he'll be able to participate full in organized team activities, barring any setbacks. Benjamin disappointed fighting through injuries in six […]

Broncos Releasing C.J. Anderson

The Denver Broncos plan to release running back C.J. Anderson on Monday, according to ESPN and multiple reports. Anderson had his first career 1,000-yard season in 2017 and was the team's leading rusher last year. With Anderson out of the picture, Devontae Booker and De'Angelo Henderson should be expected to split up the workload in […]

Tom Brady Not Expected To Participate Regularly In Offseason Program

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady isn't expected to participate regularly in the team's offseason program, in the opinion of ESPN's Jeff Darlington. Brady is planning to spend more time with his family and body coach Alex Guerrero. It's not uprecedented for Brady to do this, as he did something similar in 2008, 2009 and […]

Kevin Kiermaier To Have Surgery, Out Around 12 Weeks

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (thumb) will undergo surgery to fix a torn ligament in his right thumb and is expected to miss eight to 12 weeks. It's a tough blow for the Rays and any Kiermaier owners. It's the third straight season that he will miss significant time due to injury. He broke […]

Giants Unlikely To Take QB At No. 2 Overall

It appears unlikely that the New York Giants will draft a quarterback second overall. By the end of their process of evaluating the top QB prospects in the draft class, the body of work of Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen is not commensurate with what the Giants require the No. 2 […]

Reuben Foster Won't Take Part In Offseason Workouts

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster will not take part in team activities as his legal matters play out. "As previously stated, his future with the team will be determined by the information revealed during the legal process." Foster is facing three felonies and may soon be released by the 49ers after a dispute with […]

Demar Dotson Had Surgery On Knee

Tampa Bay Buccaneers right tackle Demar Dotson (knee) had surgery last week to fix a torn meniscus in his knee, according to sources. He will miss organized team activities and minicamp, but the thought is that he'll be good to go for training camp this summer. Dotson went on Injured Reserve late last year with […]

Kerwynn Williams Signing With Chiefs

Free-agent running back Kerwynn Williams is signing a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, according to a source.

In KC he'll have to compete with Charcandrick West, […]

Rob Gronkowski Won't Attend Start Of Offseason Workouts

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will not attend the start of offseason workouts on Monday, according to a source. The big tight end is still considering whether he'll play in 2018, but he has had "good communication" with the team. It's believed that Gronk is committed to playing another season, but 2018 could […]

Khalil Mack Won't Come Cheap

The Oakland Raiders remain confident that they will reach a long-term extension with defensive end Khalil Mack, and a new deal could be around $120 million over six years. NFL Network's Steve Wyche reported that a deal could include $65 million in guaranteed money. Mack's fifth-year option accounts for $13.86 million against this year's salary […]

Ameer Abdullah Could Be Traded During Draft

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah is a candidate to be traded during this year's draft, and he's more likely to be moved than Theo Riddick because Abdullah is in the last year of his deal and his role is less defined after the team signed LeGarrette Blount in free agency. The Lions are also […]

Mason Rudolph Tied To Patriots

Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph is increasingly being tied to the New England Patriots, who may see him as the perfect protege to Tom Brady. New England has picks Nos. 23 and 31 after trading receiver Brandin Cooks to the Rams. With Brady still showing effectiveness at 40 years of age, Rudolph obviously wouldn't have […]

Lamar Jackson's Draft Stock Falling

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson's draft stock is falling, and NFLDraftScout.com's Rob Rang has Jackson projected to go 15th overall to the Arizona Cardinals in his latest mock draft. “Look, there is no getting around it, the question with (Jackson) is intelligence,” another scout said. If Arizona doesn't take him in the first round, there is […]

Baker Mayfield In Top-Five Conversation

Most scouts and pundits are focusing on Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen, USC's Sam Darnold and UCLA's Josh Rosen as the "big three" quarterbacks likely to earn top-five selections in the draft, sources say that Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield remains in the conversation because he's head and shoulders above every other passer in this class in […]

Kenyan Drake Adds Weight

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake said that he added five to 10 pounds since the season ended as he prepares for a bigger workload in 2018. “So I’m about 215 right now,” Drake said, speaking before the Dolphins Cancer Challenge Celebrity Golf Tournament. “I know as I run around I’ll probably lose that weight. […]

Dez Bryant Unlikely To Land With Jets

ESPN New York's Rich Cimini doesn't see free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant landing with the New York Jets. The Jets currently have 17 receivers on roster, and Bryant will turn 30 in November and has been on a three-year decline. He has caught just 49.7 percent of his targets, the worst catch percentage in the […]

Giants Not Expected To Pursue Dez Bryant

The New York Giants are unlikely to pursue free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant, in the opinion of SNY's Ralph Vacchiano. However, Bryant seemed intent on staying in the NFC East in order to face the Cowboys twice a year after his release. The Giants don't have enough current salary cap space to take on Bryant, […]

Four Teams Could Show Interest In Dez Bryant

The Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers are four teams that could show varying degrees of interest in free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant. With the Cardinals, the issue would be money. In Baltimore, the Ravens continue to seek additional receiving help even after signing Michael Crabtree. In Green Bay, Bryant would […]

Blue Jays Placing Josh Donaldson On DL, Teoscar Hernandez Coming Up

The Toronto Blue Jays placed third baseman Josh Donaldson (shoulder) on the 10-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation on Friday and recalled outfielder Teoscar Hernandez from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Donaldson also dealt with shoulder problems this spring, so it's a troubling development for the power hitter. However, it's unclear how long […]

Dez Bryant Not On Redskins Radar

Free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant, released by the Cowboys on Friday, is not currently on the Washington Redskins radar, according to sources. Bryant is getting long in the tooth and hasn't reached 1,000 yards in three straight seasons, and he led the NFL in drops in 2017. However, he's still only 29 years old and […]

Seahawks Sign Stephen Morris

The Seattle Seahawks signed free-agent quarterback Stephen Morris on Friday to add depth behind Russell Wilson, according to multiple national media reports. This comes a day after the team postponed a planned visit with free-agent QB Colin Kaepernick. Morris has never played in a regular season game in the NFL but has been with the […]

Jets Waive Jeremy Langford

The New York Jets waived running back Jeremy Langford on Friday. Langford spent his first two years with the Bears in 2015 and 2016, and he managed to rush 210 times for 737 yards and 10 touchdowns in those years, but he spent last season bouncing around practice squads. The 26-year-old is obviously nowhere near […]

Chargers Waive Kenneth Farrow, Nick Rose

The Los Angeles Chargers waived running back Kenneth Farrow and place kicker Nick Rose on Friday. Farrow was on Injured Reserve all of last season. Rose's release means Caleb Sturgis and Roberto Aguayo will compete for the kicking job this summer.

Mark Sanchez Suspended

Free-agent quarterback Mark Sanchez has been suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, according to a source. Sanchez spent last year languishing with the Bears but didn't even see any time on the field, and he hasn't started a game since 2015. Somebody could give Sanchez […]

Sebastian Janikowski Agrees With Seahawks

Free-agent place kicker Sebastian Janikowski agreed on a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday, according to a source. Janikowski spent 18 years with the Raiders but missed all of last season with an injury. Despite being long in the tooth, Janikowski still boasts a strong leg and should be an upgrade on Blair […]

J.D. McKissic Signs Tender Offer

Seattle Seahawks exclusive-rights free-agent running back J.D. McKissic signed his one-year tender offer on Friday. McKissic impressed with 46 carries for 187 yards and a touchdown on the ground while catching 34 passes for an extra 266 yards and two touchdowns through the air last year. However, he'll be competing with the likes of Mike […]

Dion Lewis, Derrick Henry Expected To Share Backfield

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis told Bruce Murray and Brady Quinn on SiriusXM Blitz that, "They're going to use both of us," with the other back being Derrick Henry. Lewis also said Tennessee attracted him in free agency because they were going to give him the chance to share the rushing load with Henry. […]
