Bills Aren't Planning On Cutting Tyrod Taylor

The Buffalo Bills aren't planning on releasing quarterback Tyrod Taylor, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport. "At this point, it doesn't seem like they're going to cut him without knowing who his replacement will be," Rapoport said. "The Bills are OK with paying a $6 million roster bonus to keep him on the roster." […]

Four Teams Interested In Tim Lincecum

The Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers "are believed to have interest" in free-agent starting pitcher Tim Lincecum. It makes sense that all of these teams are on the West Coast, as Lincecum has pitched for the Giants and Angels in his career and is from Washington. Although he […]

Tigers Sign Francisco Liriano

The Detroit Tigers are signing free-agent pitcher Francisco Liriano to a one-year, $4 million deal. The contract also includes $1 million in incentives. Liriano is expected to join the rebuilding team's starting rotation, where he'll surely have much more fantasy appeal, but even then, it will be minimal after he posted a 5.66 ERA, 1.63 […]

Jose Pirela Seeing Reps At Second Base

San Diego Padres outfielder Jose Pirela is taking repetitions at second base in camp, and he's likely to see a lot of time there in spring training. Unless the Friars trade outfielder Hunter Renfroe before the season starts, Pirela's fantasy upside may be limited if he shares time with Renfroe in left field. However, if […]

Braves Have Talked About Mike Moustakas

The Atlanta Braves have talked about free-agent third baseman Mike Moustakas, but so far there is no common ground between the two sides. Despite hitting a career-high 38 homers in 2017, Moose's free-agent market has been quiet this winter, and he's still holding out for a long-term deal. Atlanta wouldn't be the best fit for […]

Panthers Could Place Tag On Graham Gano

The Carolina Panthers are more likely to put the franchise tag on place kicker Graham Gano than offensive guard Andrew Norwell. Gano has been the team's kicker for the last six seasons, and he made 29 of his 30 field goal attempts in 2017, including 10 of 10 from 40 to 49 yards out. However, […]

DeSean Jackson's Case Is Inactive

The Tampa police said that the case involving Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson's vehicle that was found crashed with bullets and marijuana is currently inactive. The police don't have any witnesses or evidence to place the driver behind the wheel at the time of the accident. D-Jax said he wasn't driving the car, […]

Extension Could Be Coming For Taylor Lewan

Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan is entering the final year of his deal and will play on a fifth-year option worth $9.34 million if a long-term deal isn't reached. Former NFL agent Joel Corry said the Titans "may have to set the market at offensive tackle" with a long-term deal for Lewan, who is […]

Matt Bryant Expects To Re-Sign

Atlanta Falcons impending unrestricted free-agent place kicker Matt Bryant, who made $2.75 million last season, told his agent, Jordon Woy, that he's already had multiple contract talks with the Falcons. Atlanta wants Bryant back, and the feeling is mutual on his part. Bryant will turn 43 in May, but he made 88.1 percent of his […]

Davis Webb States Case To Be Future QB

New York Giants quarterback Davis Webb, who was drafted in the third round under former general manager Jerry Reese and head coach Ben McAdoo, has spoken with new GM Dave Gettleman and new head coach Pat Shurmur and has stated his case to be the future signal caller once Eli Manning is done. “I think […]

John DeFilippo Likes Case Keenum

New Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo praised impending free-agent quarterback Case Keenum. “Case brings a lot to the table. He’s athletic, you can change the launch point with him; he had a great deal of production this year, no doubt,” DeFilippo said. “The thing you look at is does your quarterback win football games? […]

Pirates Hope Daniel Nava Will Return Soon

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Daniel Nava (back) has not participated in the team's last two workouts and is "rehab-only," according to director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk. General manager Neal Huntington said the team is hopeful Nava will return quickly, but outfielders Bryce Brentz and Michael Saunders are backup plans in case Nava isn't ready. Nava […]

Joe Musgrove's Injury Is Minor

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove's (shoulder) right shoulder pain is "minor" and "precautionary," director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said. Musgrove could resume throwing in the "coming days." The former Houston Astro should be fine for Opening Day, but he's currently slightly behind the other pitchers in camp. Musgrove was much better as a […]

Devon Travis Impressing Early In Camp

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis (knee) has been impressing the coaching staff and his teammates early in camp and has been taking batting practice and participating in fielding drills daily. “You watch him move around, and if you didn’t know he’d had an injury, you wouldn’t think anything of it,” manager John Gibbons […]

Angels Trade For Jabari Blash

The Los Angeles Angels acquired outfielder Jabari Blash from the New York Yankees in exchange for a player to be named later or cash. Blash hit just .213 with five home runs and 16 RBI last year for the Padres. He has some pop in his bat but likely won't be anything more than a […]

Joe Kelly Fine After Being Hit In BP

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Joe Kelly (shin) went for precautionary X-rays after being hit in the shin by a batted ball in batting practice Wednesday, but he is fine. Coming off a terrible 2016 season, Kelly bounced back by posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 52 strikeouts in 58 innings for the Red […]

Aaron Colvin Unlikely To Return

Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent cornerback Aaron Colvin is unlikely to return alongside Pro Bowl cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye. Colvin, a former fourth-round pick, was excellent as the team's nickel cornerback in 2017. Jacksonville has around $24 million in salary cap space, and wide receiver Allen Robinson is expected to take up a big […]

Vontae Davis Visiting Raiders

Free-agent cornerback Vontae Davis is visiting the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday, according to a source. Davis, who will be 30 this year, has already had meetings with the Bills, Browns and 49ers. Davis was an All-Pro in 2015 but is on the decline and played in a career-low five games in 2017 due to injury. […]

Nick Folk Cleared To Resume Kicking

Free-agent place kicker Nick Folk (knee), who underwent left knee surgery last year, has been cleared to resume kicking by Dr. James Andrews, according to a source.

Crockett Gillmore Moving To Offensive Line

Baltimore Ravens impending free-agent tight end Crockett Gillmore is making the transition from tight end to offensive line and has been training with former player LeCharles Bentley, who runs an offensive line academy.

The Broncos could have Paxton Lynch and two new signal callers on the roster next […]

Panthers Could Cut Jonathan Stewart

The Carolina Panthers could decide to cut veteran running back Jonathan Stewart in order to clear $3.7 million in salary cap room this offseason. Carolina ranked fourth in rushing in the NFL in 2017, but Stewart didn't really help all that much, running for a career-low 3.4 yards per carry and topping 100 yards just […]

Pirates Ink Michael Saunders To Minors Deal

The Pittsburgh Pirates signed free-agent outfielder Michael Saunders to a minor league deal Wednesday. Saunders was an All-Star in Toronto in 2016, but he fell off big time last year, hitting just .237/.312/.429 with 14 home runs and 38 RBI in 333 at-bats. Add Saunders to the list of players competing for playing time in […]

Michael Conforto May Be Out Longer

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) dislocated his shoulder last year and required September surgery, and Dr. A of Inside Injuries said that a normal recovery timetable for his type of surgery would be seven to eight months. From a medical standpoint, the chances of Conforto being ready to return in April seems to be […]

Corey Seager To DH This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (elbow) will serve as the designated hitter in spring games Friday and Saturday. He's currently still progressing through his throwing program, and the Dodgers are playing it cautious with him early in camp. Despite dealing with elbow issues late in 2017, Seager still managed to finish the year hitting […]

Joe Thomas Still Deciding On Future

Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas is "still working" through his decision on whether he will return for a 12th season in 2018. He has set a date of March 14 (the start of free agency) as the moment when he wants to have made his decision. Thomas has been rehabbing a triceps injury that […]

Dolphins Place Franchise Tag On Jarvis Landry

The Miami Dolphins placed the franchise tag on impending free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry on Tuesday. Despite reports in the last year that Miami was likely to move on from Landry, the team will at least pay him $16 million this season on the non-exclusive tag, meaning he'll be able to negotiate with other teams, […]

Jaguars Decline Options On Mychal Rivera, Arrelious Benn

The Jacksonville Jaguars declined the contract options for tight end Mychal Rivera and wide receiver Arrelious Benn on Tuesday, and they will become free agents in March. Rivera didn't play at all in 2017 and Benn had only one catch for 12 yards in nine games with Jacksonville. Neither are likely to make a fantasy […]

Steelers Expected To Tag Le'Veon Bell Before Deadline

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to place the franchise tag on impending free-agent running back Le'Veon Bell before the March 6 deadline. While both sides are much more optimistic that a long-term extension will be worked out this time around, the $14.5 million one-year tag will buy the team time to come to an agreement […]
