Demariyus Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders Expected To Return

The belief is that Denver Broncos wide receivers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders will both return in 2018 as the team searches for a top quarterback. Thomas and Sanders are the team's most expensive salary cap hits, but they need both to entice a free-agent quarterback this offseason or to help mentor a young quarterback […]

No Restrictions For Phil Hughes

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Phil Hughes (shoulder) is throwing a bullpen session Wednesday and said he will have no restrictions in camp.

Ryon Healy Undergoing Tests On Hand

Seattle Mariners first baseman/designated hitter Ryon Healy (hand) is dealing with a hand injury at camp and is undergoing further tests.

Lance McCullers Working On Body Alignment

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers said he is focusing more on his body alignment this year. About the only thing holding McCullers back from a breakout season has been his health, as he landed on the disabled list twice in 2017 with back issues. When healthy, he struck out 25.8 percent of the batters […]

Jeurys Familia Expected To See Majority Of Save Chances

New York Mets pitching coach Dave Eiland said relief pitcher Jeurys Familia "will probably get the majority of the saves" in 2018.

Vikings Could Look To Trade Laquon Treadwell

The Minnesota Vikings could be proactive this offseason and look to trade wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, who could use a change of scenery. A former first-round pick, Treadwell has struggled to find a role in Minnesota, and he could fetch the Vikings a mid-round draft pick in exchange. In his two seasons with Minnesota, Treadwell […]

Broncos Seem Intent On Making Devontae Booker Their No. 1 Back

The Denver Broncos seem intent on making running back Devontae Booker their No. 1 back moving forward, which means C.J. Anderson could be released in the offseason. It's a little bit of a head-scratcher, given that Booker hasn't really proved to be a lead back in his two years in the NFL. He ran the […]

Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson was one of the lone bright spots on offense in 2017, as he recorded his first 1,000-yard rushing season, but he was openly wondering what his future would be following the season, and the Broncos could wind up releasing him with two years remaining on his deal and no […]

New York Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson will carry a $16.75 million salary for the 2018 season, and the only question is whether the Jets designate him a pre-June 1 cut or post-June 1 cut.

Clayton Kershaw Named Opening Day Starter In 2018

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts named starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw as the team's Opening Day starter on Tuesday. What a shocker.

Chris Heisey Signs With Twins

Free-agent outfielder Chris Heisey signed a minor league deal with an invite to spring training with the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Heisey only accumulated 74 at-bats with the Nationals in 2017, hitting a weak .162/.215/.270 with one homer and five RBI.

Eli Apple, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie In Danger Of Being Cut

New York Giants cornerbacks Eli Apple and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie are candidates to be released this offseason.

New York Giants wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Dwayne Harris could be in danger of being cut to save salary cap space this offseason.

Giants Name Mike Shula As Offensive Coordinator

The New York Giants have hired Mike Shula as their new offensive coordinator, according to sources. Shula was an offensive assistant when David Gettleman was the general manager in Carolina, so this makes sense. Shula could take a back seat to new head coach Pat Shurmur in terms of play calling, however. New York's biggest […]
