Patriots Pick Up Kenny Britt's Option

The New England Patriots picked up wide receiver Kenny Britt's 2018 option, according to a source. The veteran Britt turned out to be a monumental free-agent bust for the Browns last year, as he caught only 18 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in nine games for them before they cut him lose. He […]

Tre Mason Ready To Make Combeback

Former St. Louis Rams running back Tre Mason is ready to return to football following a two-year hiatus, according to sources. He has recently been in contact with NFL teams and is in a much better place mentally after multiple run-ins with the police in 2016. However, per sources, NFL teams are reluctant to give […]

Bears Put Transition Tag On Kyle Fuller

The Chicago Bears have applied the transition tag to cornerback Kyle Fuller, according to sources. The Bears can match any offer that comes in for Fuller. Chicago could have made it easier on themselves if they would've just picked up Fuller's fifth-year option in 2016, but Fuller missed that entire season before bouncing back in […]

Panthers Reach Long-Term Deal With Graham Gano

The Carolina Panthers have locked up place kicker Graham Gano on a long-term deal, so they will not have to place the franchise tag on him, according to a source. His deal is for four years. While Gano doesn't have the strongest leg in the NFL, he was 0-for-1 on 50-plus yard attempts last year, […]

Jerick McKinnon Likely To Move On

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent running back Jerick McKinnon looks destined to test the free-agent market. General manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer talked about the team's running game at last week's combine but only discussed Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray. With McKinnon expected to move on, the Vikings shouldn't have a problem replacing […]

Redskins Targeting Paul Richardson

The Washington Redskins are targeting Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent wide receiver Paul Richardson, among others. The 'Skins are looking to upgrade their receiving corps with quarterback Kirk Cousins basically out the door to free agency. Terrelle Pryor was a massive bust and tight end Jordan Reed can't stay healthy. Richardson had a career year in […]

Ravens Could Be Interested In Donte Moncrief

The Baltimore Ravens could be interested in Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent wide receiver Dontre Moncrief. Moncrief is looking to rehabilitate his image after struggling in 2017 without quarterback Andrew Luck, and he could settle for a modest one-year deal. He had a career-low 26 receptions for 391 yards and two touchdowns last year in 12 […]

Bills To Sign Chris Ivory

The Buffalo Bills are expected to sign free-agent running back Chris Ivory to a two-year deal, according to sources. Ivory struggled in a backup role in Jacksonville last season, rushing 112 times for 382 yards (career-low 3.4 yards per carry) and just one touchdown. He's not as effective as he was earlier in his career, […]

Earl Thomas Sticking Around

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to keep Earl Thomas for the 2018 season. Thomas has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason, but Seattle would have to receive a significant offer to consider moving him. Thomas is entering his age-28 season but remains one of the better safeties in the NFL and should continue […]

Seahawks Likely To Lose Jimmy Graham To Free Agency

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to lose tight end Jimmy Graham to free agency, and the New Orleans Saints are one of the teams interested in him. Graham had 57 catches for 520 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Seahawks in 2017, and he became a low-end, touchdown-dependent fantasy asset late in the year. While […]

Rams Won't Place Tag On Sammy Watkins

The Los Angeles Rams will not use the franchise tag on impending free-agent wide receiver Sammy Watkins. If they use the tag, it will be on safety Lamarcus Joyner.

White Sox Have Little Interest In Mike Moustakas, Carlos Gonzalez

The Chicago White Sox have very little interest, if any, in free-agent third baseman Mike Moustakas and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, according to sources. Moose and Car-Go haven't seen much of a market for their services this offseason. It's understandable for Gonzalez after he struggled in 2017, but Moustakas is coming off a career-high 38 home […]

Stephen Vogt Could DH This Week

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) is hoping to serve as the designated hitter in Cactus League action this week if his shoulder calms down. He could start some light throwing on Tuesday, and both he and manager Craig Counsell think he has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day. Vogt was an […]

Manny Pina Has Sore Calf

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (calf) is dealing with a sore calf, which is why he only caught a few innings Saturday. However, manager Craig Counsell said the injury isn't serious, and Pina would've played the entire game if it were the regular season. Pina will enter the 2018 season as the team's starter after […]

Falcons Release Levine Toilolo

The Atlanta Falcons are releasing tight end Levine Toilolo, according to sources. He signed a three-year, $12 million deal just last year, but he had just 12 catches for 122 yards and one touchdown with Atlanta in 2017. Toilolo is more of a blocking tight end and has never had more than 31 receptions or […]

Ravens See Lamar Jackson As QB

Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said the team sees Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson as a quarterback, even though multiple teams have requested that Jackson work out as a wide receiver at the NFL combine. "I don't know what the other teams think about him," Newsome said Friday at the NFL combine. "But, on our […]

Panthers Not Interested In Jarvis Landry

The Carolina Panthers are not interested in trading for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry, according to sources. They are looking for a wideout with more top-end speed. Carolina desperately needs to upgrade their receiving corps around Devin Funchess, but apparently Landry won't be that guy. After leading the league in catches in 2017, the […]

Seahawks Not Planning To Tag Sheldon Richardson

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said the team doesn't plan to use the franchise tag on impending free-agent defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson "at this point." In his first season with the Seahawks in 2017, Richardson combined for 44 tackles, one sack, two fumble recoveries and one interception. With or without Richardson in 2018, Seattle's […]

Eric Thames Expected To Play Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames (back), who was scratched with back tightness Thursday, is feeling better and is expected to play Saturday, according to manager Craig Counsell. Thames came out of the gates hot last year, hitting 11 home runs in April, but he only hit 20 bombs the rest of the way, and […]

Bears An Option For Jarvis Landry

The Miami Dolphins have given wide receiver Jarvis Landry permission to seek a trade, and the Chicago Bears are among the teams that have emerged as a possibility. The Dolphins are seeking a draft pick or a player in exchange for Landry, who must sign his $16 million franchise tag before a trade can be […]

Jarvis Landry Given Permission To Seek Trade

The Miami Dolphins have given wide receiver Jarvis Landry permission to seek and facilitate a trade, according to a league source fully briefed on the situation.

Broncos Could Go All-In On Kirk Cousins

The Denver Broncos are prepared to go "all-in" for Washington Redskins impending free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins when free agency kicks off March 14, according to two sources familiar with the team's free agency plans.

Tavon Austin Will Be Traded Or Released

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin will either be traded or released by the team before the start of the new league year, according to sources. He is owed $8 million in 2018. The soon-to-be 28-year-old has been a massive bust for the Rams. He's a glorified gadget player that no offensive coordinator can […]

Sam Bradford Has Degenerative Condition

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said quarterback Sam Bradford's (knee) knee is a degenerative condition, but Bradford was also skiing last week. Skiing doesn't seem to be Bradford's best use of his offseason time, but what do we know. He's an impending free agent and is unlikely to return to Minnesota after playing in […]

Blake Bortles Not A Placeholder In Jacksonville

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles, who recently signed a three-year, $26 million guaranteed contract extension, isn't seen as a placeholder by the team. “He is not a place-holder. This wasn’t a decision where he’s going to be here for a year and we’re going to be keeping our eyes out," general manager Dave Caldwell said. […]

Philip Rivers Could Play Until 40

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he wouldn't be surprised if quarterback Philip Rivers plays into his 40s. Rivers will be turning 37 later this year, but his play really hasn't fallen off at all, and he's as reliable as there is, playing full seasons each of the past 12 years. While his […]

Taylor Gabriel Says Farewell To Atlanta

Atlanta Falcons impending free-agent wide receiver Taylor Gabriel tweeted a farewell to Atlanta and is obviously not expecting to be back with the team in 2018. The 27-year-old Gabriel broke out for 35 catches, 579 yards and a career-high six scores in 2016, but he disappointed with just 378 yards and one touchdown on 33 […]

C.J. Anderson Not A Lock To Return

Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson isn't a lock to be back with the team in 2018, and general manager John Elway was evasive when asked about Anderson's potential return. “We’ll see,’’ Elway said. “We’ll look at that. Like I said, we’re looking at every option that we can and where our football team is. […]

Tarik Cohen Compared To Tyreek Hill

Chicago Bears new head coach Matt Nagy, who was the playcaller for the final four games of the 2017 regular season with Kansas City, sees a lot of similarities between Tarik Cohen and Chiefs running back Tyreek Hill. "Well, No. 1, size-wise you see that and you say, 'OK, they're pretty similar, right?'" Nagy said […]

49ers Talks Ongoing With Carlos Hyde

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said the team had contract discussions with impending free-agent running back Carlos Hyde throughout the season.
