Nick Novak Fully Recovered

Los Angeles Chargers place kicker Nick Novak (hip) has made a full recovery from a strained hip and plans to play in 2018. He will become a free agent, but the Chargers haven't closed the door on re-signing him. In seven games for the Bolts last year before getting injured, Novak made only nine of […]

Luiz Gohara Has Groin Tightness

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Luiz Gohara (groin) is being slowed in camp by groin tightness. He's competing for one of the open starting rotation spots this spring and has been widely considered a favorite after striking out 25 hitters while walking just four in 25 1/3 innings in his last five starts in September. The […]

Jarvis Landry Expected To Be Traded

According to the Miami Herald's Adam H. Beasley, it would be a stunner if the Miami Dolphins don't trade wide receiver Jarvis Landry in the coming weeks after they placed the $16 million franchise tag on him. There's the possibility that they will sign him to a long-term deal, but it's hard to see either […]

Martellus Bennett Wants To Keep Playing

New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett has decided that he wants to continue playing despite contemplating retirement in 2017, according to sources. Bennett is due a $2 million roster bonus March 14, so the Patriots must make a decision. He'll carry a modest $6.2 million salary cap hit. After surprising for New England in […]

Panthers May Overhaul Wide Receiver Room

The Carolina Panthers may overhaul their wide receiver corps this offseason outside of Devin Funchess, Curtis Samuel and Damiere Byrd. Funchess was the highest rated receiver on the team, although he wasn't ever really a true No. 1 after the team traded Kelvin Benjamin to the Bills midseason. Russell Shepard was a good presence in […]

Jaguars Release Chris Ivory

The Jacksonville Jaguars released veteran running back Chris Ivory on Friday, which will save them $3.75 million against the salary cap. Ivory played very little behind promising rookie Leonard Fournette last season and didn't even play in the final two regular season games as a healthy scratch. Ivory had just 821 yards and four touchdowns […]

Emmanuel Sanders Making Progress In Rehab

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) said he is making progress in his rehab for his ankle injury. "It's going well, my ankle is recovering. It got damaged on a tackle and it lingered. Right now, I feel like I'm 95 percent," Sanders said. It's good news, and Sanders should be ready to roll […]

Jameis Winston Involved In Car Accident

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was uninjured in a car accident last week in which he was cited for careless driving. The crash damaged both vehicles -- the citation listed $4,000 in total property damage, while the crash report listed $2,000 in damages to each car. Winston faces a $153 fine and no punishment […]

Lamar Jackson Compared To Kordell Stewart

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson has been a hard study for NFL teams as the draft approaches, and two high-ranking scouts have compared him to former NFL QB and wide receiver Kordell Stewart. It's obviously not a great comparison, as Stewart played two seasons at wideout before being converted to quarterback. One thing that isn't under […]

Nick Novak To Become Free Agent

Los Angeles Chargers place kicker Nick Novak will become a free agent, but the team has informed him that they are interested in re-signing him. Novak made nine of his 13 field goal attempts with the Bolts last year before landing on Injured Reserve. The 36-year-old would be a low-end fantasy kicking option, at best, […]

Dolphins Could Trade Or Cut Ndamukong Suh

The Miami Dolphins could trade defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh and save $3.9 million in salary cap space or designate him as a post-June 1 cut and save $17 million in salary cap space. Suh will count a whopping $26.1 million on the cap this year, which is the most of any defensive player in the […]

Dolphins Will Cut Julius Thomas

The Miami Dolphins plan to cut tight end Julius Thomas by March 14, which will save $6.6 million in salary cap space. The team will also cut linebacker Lawrence Timmons by March 14, saving them $5.4 million. With all of their expected cuts, they are expected to be around $11 million under the salary cap […]

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. […]
