James Harrison To Wait Until After Draft To Sign

Free-agent linebacker James Harrison said he will wait until after the draft to sign with a team, and the New England Patriots are among a handful of teams interested in him.

Michael Campanaro Visiting Titans

Free-agent wide receiver Michael Campanaro, who has remained in contact with the Baltimore Ravens, is on a free-agent visit with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. Campanaro can be an option on offense and special teams, but he's also caught just 31 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns in his four seasons with the Ravens […]

Eric Decker Visiting With Ravens

Free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker is visiting with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, according to a source. While still a red-zone option out of the slot, Decker is getting long in the tooth and hasn't posted a 1,000-yard season since 2015 with the Jets. Baltimore is still looking for receiver depth after signing Michael Crabtree […]

Deshaun Watson Could Participate In OTAs

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) will be limited in offseason activities after suffering a torn ACL last November, but head coach Bill O'Brien thinks he could be able to participate in organized team activities. “I like where he is right now,” O’Brien said during Wednesday’s PFT Live, regarding Watson’s rehab efforts. “I don’t think […]

Hunter Pence Has Sprained Thumb

Updating a previous report, San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (thumb) was scratched from the lineup with a sprained right thumb. The Giants don't think the injury will keep Pence out for long, but it's another reminder that the aging outfielder has been hurt by injuries in the last couple of seasons. He has just […]

The Detroit Lions are signing free-agent quarterback Matt Cassel on Wednesday, according to sources.

Patriots Agree With Troy Niklas

The New England Patriots agreed to terms with free-agent tight end Troy Niklas on a one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source.

Josh Bellamy Signs Tender

Chicago Bears restricted free-agent wide receiver Josh Bellamy signed his tender on Wednesday to remain with the team. He'll make $1.097 million in 2018. He had a career-high 376 receiving yards on 24 catches in 2017, but he'll be unlikely to match those numbers after the Bears added wideouts Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel in […]

Charlie Blackmon Lands Six-Year Deal

The Colorado Rockies agreed to a six-year, $108 million deal with outfielder Charlie Blackmon on Wednesday, according to a source. Escalators in the deal could make the deal worth $116 million, and he'll have two opt outs in the final two years to go along with a limited no-trade clause. The 31-year-old has definitely earned […]

Chargers Meeting With Top QB Prospects

The Los Angeles Chargers are doing under-the-radar quarterback work and have already met privately with or worked out Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. They are also expected to host UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen and USC quarterback Sam Darnold on local visits. The Bolts recently signed Geno Smith […]

Patriots In Market For QB

The New England Patriots are firmly in the quarterback market in the first round of this month's 2018 draft and probably aren't close to done making trades. Their Tuesday trade of wide receiver Brandin Cooks was part of a package that included the 23rd overall pick in the first round. There is a strong likelihood […]

Jordan Matthews Visiting Titans

Free-agent wide receiver Jordan Matthews is visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, according to a source. He's already visited with the Packers and Patriots. 2017 was a lost season for Matthews, as he played in a career-low 10 games due to injuries with the Bills and had only 25 receptions for 282 yards and […]

Robert Griffin Agrees With Ravens

Free-agent quarterback Robert Griffin agreed on a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday. Griffin didn't play at all in 2017 after he was cut by Cleveland last March.

Quincy Enunwa Signs Tender Offer

New York Jets restricted free-agent wide receiver Quincy Enunwa signed his tender offer on Wednesday, according to a source. Enunwa missed all of last season after having surgery to fix a bulging disc in his neck, but he has full range of motion and will be eased into offseason activities. Barring any setbacks, the soon-to-be […]

Brandin Cooks Already Working With Jared Goff

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who was acquired from the Patriots on Tuesday, has already been working with quarterback Jared Goff this offseason. The Rams view Cooks as more of an impact player than what they could have gotten at 23rd overall in the first round of the draft, and they still have […]

Rams Planning On Reaching Contract Extension With Brandin Cooks

The Los Angeles Rams plan to sign newly-acquired wide receiver Brandin Cooks to a contract extension before the regular season starts, according to a team source. He's scheduled to earn $8.5 million in the final year of his deal in 2018, but he's clearly part of the long-term plan in LA. Cooks is an excellent […]

Parker Bridwell To Start Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Parker Bridwell will take the mound in a start against the A's on Friday in the absence of Matt Shoemaker. Bridwell was an impressive 10-3 with a 3.64 ERA and 1.19 WHIP, but he also had an underwhelming 5.4 K/9 in 20 starts (121 innings) and has little upside as […]

Jets Sign Bucky Hodges

The New York Jets signed free-agent tight end Bucky Hodges to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. It comes a day after the club claimed tight end Clive Walford off waivers. The team also has Eric Tomlinson, Jordan Leggett and Neal Sterling at the position. Hodges was a sixth-round pick by the Vikings last year but […]

Patriots Not Making An Attempt To Land Odell Beckham Jr.

The New England Patriots trade of wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the Rams on Tuesday was not a precursor to an attempt to acquire New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr., according to sources. The Pats are not expected to be in the market for OBJ, and now that the Rams added Cooks, it's looking […]

Rams Interested In Extension For Brandin Cooks

The Los Angeles Rams are already expressing interest in a contract extension after trading for wide receiver Brandin Cooks on Tuesday. However, there is no guarantee it happens, and it will depend on how much Cooks wants to hit free agency next year. Cooks has three straight seasons of 1,000-plus yards receiving, and he set […]

Rams Acquire Brandin Cooks From Patriots

The Los Angeles Rams acquired wide receiver Brandin Cooks and a fourth-round pick from the New England Patriots on Tuesday in exchange for the 23rd overall pick in this year's draft and a sixth-round pick, according to league sources.

Ravens Urging Joe Flacco To Conduct Passing Camp

There has been increased talk for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco to organize extra throwing sessions with his new receivers, Michael Crabtree and John Brown. The quarterback has only done "Camp Flacco" once in his 10-year career, however. Head coach John Harbaugh said last week that it was "critically important" for Flacco and his new […]

Charges Against Robby Anderson Dropped

Felony charges against New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson in connection with his January arrest have been dropped. He allegedly threatened to sexually assault the arresting officer's wife, but he still faces misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and faces a felony charge from a separate arrest. Anderson initially faced nine charges, including fleeing and […]

Jordan Reed Had Surgery On Toes

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said tight end Jordan Reed (toes) had a "procedure done on his toes... hopefully we'll see a 100 percent healthy Jordan by training camp." With Reed, it's always something. He played in just six games last year due to to, hip and leg injuries, and he's never played in […]

Falcons Close To Extending Matt Ryan

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the team is close to agreeing to a contract extension with franchise quarterback Matt Ryan. Dimitroff said "it's not a complicated process" and that "I think we're close." This comes as a surprise to no one. Ryan has reached the 4,000-yard passing mark in every season since 2011 […]

Nelson Cruz Lands On DL

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder/designated hitter Nelson Cruz (ankle) on the 10-day disabled list (retroactive to April 1) with a sprained right ankle on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the team recalled infielder/outfielder Taylor Motter from Triple-A Tacoma. With the Mariners playing several games in a National League park this week against the Giants, it […]

Jordan Matthews, Troy Niklas Visit With Patriots

Free-agent wide receiver Jordan Matthews and tight end Troy Niklas visited with the New England Patriots on Monday, according to a source. Matthews played in a career-low 10 games due to injuries with Buffalo in 2017 and could be a decent bounce-back candidate, but playing time could be an issue in New England with receivers […]

Eric Decker Interested In Return To Denver

Free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker said he "definitely would be very receptive in coming back to Denver" to play for the Broncos, where he played from 2010 to 2013 to begin his career. His last two seasons saw him reach the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career back with Peyton Manning under […]

After visiting with the New Orleans Saints, running back Benny Cunningham has agreed to re-sign with the Chicago Bears on Monday, according to a source.

Dwayne Harris Signs With Raiders

Free-agent wide receiver/return man Dwayne Harris signed with the Oakland Raiders on an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday.

Harris had a combined 37 […]
