Jordan Taylor Expected To Miss Bulk Of Offseason Work

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hip) is expected to miss most of the team's offseason workouts after having hip surgery. That's bad news, as Taylor was expected to take on a bigger role with both Bennie Fowler and Cody Latimer leaving in free agency. Last year's third-round pick, Carlos Henderson, should be in line […]

Rob Gronkowski Likely To Return

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has expressed that he is likely to continue his career in 2018 rather than retire at 28 years old, according to sources close to him.

Ravens Work Out Michael Floyd

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

Several off-field incidents haven't helped his cause, and he totaled just 10 catches for […]

The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent quarterback Matt McGloin and wide receiver Nelson Spruce on Friday. McGloin was cut by the Texans early last year and never latched on with a team.

Vikings Sign Kendall Wright

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to a source. Wright quietly led the Bears in receptions (59) and receiving yards (614) last year, but that's not saying a whole lot. The signing is a sneaky good move for Minnesota, and the 28-year-old should compete for […]

Troy Tulowitzki To Have Surgery, Out Around Eight Weeks

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (ankles) will have surgery to remove bone spurs from both of his ankles, according to general manager Ross Atkins.

Free-agent quarterback Geno Smith is visiting with the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source.

The Vikings already have Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs as […]

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." We'd be surprised if Gronk calls it quits before the 2018 season, but he's certainly considering hanging them up in the near future […]

Odubel Herrera The Odd Man Out On Opening Day

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera is not in the starting lineup on Opening Day on Thursday. Manager Gabe Kapler said he considered the matchups, starter Aaron Nola as a ground-ball pitcher and the upcoming matchups in his decision not to start Herrera. Aaron Altherr gets the nod instead in center field for the opener, and […]

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson did not run the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine and also chose not to run it as his school's Pro Day after throwing nearly 60 passes on Thursday. “Game speed is going to tell it all,” Jackson told Mike Mayock of NFL Network. “You’ve got to catch me first.” […]

Mark Sanchez A Possibility For Seahawks

Free-agent quarterback Mark Sanchez is a possibility for the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source. Sanchez has a couple 3,000-yard seasons under his belt and led the Jets to two straight AFC title games, but he has bombed out in the NFL since and didn't play at all in 2017. The Seahawks are looking for […]

With Isaiah […]

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 […]

Benjamin Watson Agrees With Saints

Free-agent tight end Benjamin Watson agreed to a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday, according to a source.

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 […]

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 New Orleans Saints hosted free-agent Benjamin Watson for a visit, according to a league source.
