Raiders Agree With Doug Martin

The Oakland Raiders agreed to terms with free-agent running back Doug Martin on Thursday, according to a source.

Martin didn't […]

Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said he had a great phone conversation with head coach Pete Carroll on Wednesday night, and there is tangible interest from both sides.

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller had $16 million of his $18.5 million base salary converted into a signing bonus, which creates $12.375 million in 2018 salary cap space, according to a source.

C.J. Fiedorowicz Retiring

The Houston Texans placed tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz (concussion) on the Reserve/Retired list on Thursday. He suffered three concussions last year and was put on Injured Reserve twice.

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) and outfielder Ichiro Suzuki (calf) were both pulled from the Cactus League game Wednesday night as a precaution, according to manager Scott Servais.

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) expects to return to spring action Friday, and he said the cramping in his calf is a non-issue. “It’s getting ridiculous ... It’s not an issue.

Jean Segura Leaves Game Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) left the Cactus League game early Wednesday with right hamstring tightness.

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver De'Anthony Thomas on Wednesday. He turned down $1.5 million from another team to remain in KC.
