Ravens Out On Dez Bryant

The Baltimore Ravens are out on free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant after signing wideout Willie Snead.

Patriots Visit With Lamar Jackson

The New England Patriots hosted Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson on a top-30 pre-draft visit two weeks ago, according to sources.

Tom Brady's Agent Expects Him To Return

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's agent, Don Yee, said he expects Brady to return for the 2018 season.

Despite Brady not confirming […]

Broncos Could Target Running Back Early In Draft

The Denver Broncos could target a running back early in the NFL draft, possibly as early as fifth overall if Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is still on the board. The Broncos are looking to improve the position after releasing last year's leading rusher on the team, C.J. Anderson. “It’s a deep running back […]

Jets Not Afraid To Start Rookie QB

Even though New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown is the projected starter for 2018, head coach Todd Bowles said he would start a rookie under center, if necessary. “It depends on the progress,” Bowles said. “I’m not afraid to play young players at any position.

Both New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski are expected to play in 2018, according to a source with knowledge of the situations.

D'Onta Foreman May Not Be Ready For Regular Season

Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) may be a candidate to open the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which would mean he wouldn't be eligible to play until the seventh game of the season.

Rob Gronkowski Won't Take Part In Offseason Workouts

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said he will not take part in the team's voluntary offseason workouts. Gronk has been openly considering retirement this offseason, but he's fully expected to return and play at least one more season. However, he won't take part in offseason workouts. It's not a huge deal, and the […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Be Among Top-20 Picks

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to be drafted in the top 20, and a few sources really like him.

Houston Texans general manager Brian Gaine said he's optimistic the team will reach a long-term deal with defensive end Jadeveon Clowney before the 2018 season.

Ravens May Be Moving On From Dez Bryant

With New Orleans Saints restricted free-agent Willie Snead expected to sign with the Baltimore Ravens, it would essentially end their interest in free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant.

Raiders In Touch With Amari Cooper Regarding Option

Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said the team has been in touch with wide receiver Amari Cooper's agent about extending his fifth-year option.

No Decision On Dante Fowler's Option

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell said the team hasn't made a decision on whether to pick up defensive end Dante Fowler's 2019 option. Fowler had 21 tackles, a career-high eight sacks and two fumble recoveries in 2017, but he's also dealt with several off-field incidents, which is likely why the Jaguars are still trying […]

Luke McCown Calling It Quits

Free-agent quarterback Luke McCown announced through his agent that he is retiring. The 36-year-old career backup was a fourth-round pick of the Browns in 2004, and he made just four starts as a rookie. Since then, McCown has started only six games -- three with the Bucs in 2007, two with the Jaguars in 2011 […]

New Orleans Saints restricted free-agent wide receiver Willie Snead is signing a two-year offer sheet on Friday with the Baltimore Ravens that is worth up to $10.4 million, according to a source.

Free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant, who was cut by the Cowboys last week, posted a video on Instagram of himself working out with New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Bryant has shown interest in staying in the NFC East so he could have a chance to face Dallas twice a year.

Earl Thomas Won't Hold Out

Seattle Seahawks general manager Jon Schneider said he was told by safety Earl Thomas' representatives that their client won't hold out this year even if he doesn't receive a new deal.

Broncos Not Worried About Baker Mayfield's Size

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway said he's not worried about Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield's size. "He's overcome the size issue," Elway said.

Broncos Undecided On Shane Ray's Option

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway said the team hasn't decided whether they will pick up linebacker Shane Ray's fifth-year option.

Broncos Shopping Fifth Overall Pick

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway said that the team's fifth overall pick in the draft is for sale.

Denver might […]

Giants Releasing Brandon Marshall

The New York Giants are releasing wide receiver Brandon Marshall on Thursday, according to a source.

The 34-year-old has declined […]

Freddie Freeman's Wrist Not Broken

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman's left wrist is not broken after he was hit by a pitch Wednesday, as test results came back negative on Thursday and he is listed as day-to-day. Phew.

Tarik Cohen Will Do A Lot Of Things In Offense

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen, who has added muscle this offseason and is up to 190 pounds, has trained his focus on becoming more polished as a receiver. New head coach Matt Nagy, who helped Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill become a 1,000-yard man in 2017, is looking forward to creating mismatches with Cohen out […]

Jameis Winston, DeSean Jackson Working On Chemistry

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and wide receiver DeSean Jackson have been working on improving the chemistry of their deep ball this offseason after head coach Dirk Koetter made it a point to highlight all the times Winston and Jackson failed to hook up on open deep throws in 2017. "Me and DeSean, we […]

Josh Rosen Could Slide In First Round

The belief is that three quarterbacks will be selected within the first five picks of this year's draft, which means one quarterback of USC's Sam Darnold, Wyoming's Josh Allen, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield and UCLA's Josh Rosen could slide down in the first round. Rosen is believed to be the second best overall prospect at his […]

Jets May Prefer Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold

From what ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay is hearing, the New York Jets may prefer Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield at No. 3 overall over UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen.

Brandon Coleman Re-Signs With Saints

Free-agent wide receiver Brandon Coleman is re-signing with the Saints, according to a source informed of the situation.

Dolphins Likely To Pick Up DeVante Parker's Fifth-Year Option

The Miami Dolphins are likely to pick up wide receiver DeVante Parker's fifth-year option, which is expected to be for around $9.5 million.

Kevin White Back On Practice Fields

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kevin White (shoulder) has been taking part in offseason practices this week during veteran minicamp to start his third comeback from a major injury.
