Raiders Want To Re-Sign NaVorro Bowman

Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said that the team wants to re-sign linebacker NaVorro Bowman. Bowman was definitely effective in 10 games for the Raiders last season, compiling 89 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one fumble recovery and one interception. Despite his off-field stumbles in his career, Bowman would surely strengthen Oakland's interior defense in 2018 […]

Cameron Meredith Visited With Saints

Chicago Bears restricted free-agent wide receiver Cameron Meredith visited with the New Orleans Saints over the weekend, according to an NFL source. He's also visited with the Colts and Ravens already, but it's unclear if any of those teams will sign him to an offer sheet. It all depends on where Meredith is in his […]

Rams Interested In Trading For Odell Beckham Jr.

The Los Angeles Rams have talked to the New York Giants about the possibility of trading for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., according to multiple NFL sources. While it might be unlikely for Beckham to be traded this week, the team's asking price will start with a first-round pick plus. Beckham's 2017 season was lost […]

Chris Archer Will Be Ready For Opening Day

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer (forearm) looked good during a 30-pitch bullpen session Monday, and manager Kevin Cash has no concerns about his ace being ready for Opening Day on Thursday. Archer remains the clear best pitcher in Tampa and has low-end fantasy ace potential. It's certainly a tough assignment on opening day […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Trade Unlikely

Updating a previous report, the New York Giants are more likely to reach an extension with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. than trade him. “I’d be very surprised,” a source told Newsday regarding a trade of Beckham this week. The main objective of the Giants is to work with Beckham and come to an agreement […]

Ndamukong Suh Won't Visit With Raiders

Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh's visit with the Oakland Raiders is now off, according to sources. He is at home and is unlikely to make a decision on Wednesday. Suh is known to be interested in the Rams, but he's also considering the Saints and Titans. As was expected, there has been plenty of interest […]

Dolphins Hosting Baker Mayfield For Private Workout

The Miami Dolphins are conducting a private workout with University of Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield on Wednesday, according to a source. It's no secret that the Dolphins are considering a quarterback with their first-round pick despite having Ryan Tannehill entrenched as the 2018 starter. The problem is the Dolphins have the 11th overall pick, and […]

Willie Snead Visiting With Ravens

New Orleans Saints restricted free-agent wide receiver Willie Snead is visiting with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday, according to a source. Baltimore is seriously trying to upgrade their receiving corps after they struggled big time in 2017. They have already added Michael Crabtree and John Brown, so Snead would be battling for playing time with […]

Marshawn Lynch Restructures Contract

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch restructured his contract last Saturday before his $1 million roster bonus was due. His base salary in 2018 is now $5.5 million -- $500,000 less than before -- but he's guaranteed $4.5 million of it and can earn up to $9.25 million with incentives. Beast Mode was one of […]

JT Riddle Scratched Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop JT Riddle (shoulder) was scratched from the Grapefruit League lineup on Wednesday with some soreness in his surgically repaired shoulder. It doesn't seem to be anything serious, but Riddle is no lock to be ready for Opening Day, as he has yet to play in a major league spring game after having […]

Yuli Gurriel Worked Out Tuesday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (hand) fielded grounders, ran the bases and did light hitting on the field on Tuesday. It's good progress for the Cuban, but he's still expected to be sidelined until around mid-April. He could come slightly cheaper in drafts as a result, and he showed fine contact and hard-hit rates […]

Bills Visit With Karlos Dansby

The Buffalo Bills hosted free-agent linebacker Karlos Dansby on a visit, according to a source. Dansby will be entering his 15th season in 2018, but he's recorded at least 100 tackles in seven of his last 10 seasons and had 95 tackles, one sack, one fumble recovery and one interception in 2017, showing that he […]

Ndamukong Suh Intrigued By Rams

Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said he is intrigued by the Los Angeles Rams and the potential for playing alongside Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme has similar gap responsibilities as a 4-3 defense. Suh is the best run-stopping defensive lineman on the open market and would make the Rams […]

Ndamukong Suh Scheduled To Visit Raiders

Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is scheduled to visit the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday, according to a source. Suh is easily the best defensive lineman left on the market, and he is an elite run stopper that routinely clogs up running lanes with his big body. Pairing with Khalil Mack in Oakland would make the […]

Richard Sherman Should Be Ready For Training Camp

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (Achilles) said he'll be back on the football field by May or June. That means Sherman should be totally fine for training camp this summer, unless he suffers a setback. Despite injuries and declining age, Sherman can still be one of the best cover cornerbacks in the NFL when […]

Matthew Slater Returns To Patriots

The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Matthew Slater to a two-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Slater is a special teams ace and doesn't have a single catch since 2011. He can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Blaine Gabbert Visits With Titans

Free-agent quarterback Blaine Gabbert visited with the Tennessee Titans, according to a source. Gabbert played in five games for the Cardinals in 2017, completing 55.6 percent of his 171 attempts for 1,086 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions. The former first-round pick isn't the worst backup option in the league. He'd be holding the clipboard […]

Saints, Other Teams Interested In Allen Hurns

Free-agent wide receiver Allen Hurns is receiving plenty of interest on the open market after being released by the Jaguars on Tuesday. The New Orleans Saints are among a long list of teams to express interest in him. "Right now, the teams have reached out, it's probably like 10 teams: the Bears, the Bills, Saints, […]

Allen Hurns To Visit With Jets

Free-agent wide receiver Allen Hurns has a visit with the New York Jets this week, according to a source. Hurns had a breakout in 2015 with 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns, but he fell back to earth the last two years, mainly due to injuries. Hurns would be an upgrade for the Jets offense behind […]

Vikings Re-Signing Kai Forbath

The Minnesota Vikings are re-signing place kicker Kai Forbath to an undisclosed deal Tuesday, according to a source. He made a career-high 32 of his 38 field goal attempts (84.2 percent) for the Vikings last year, including a career-high six of nine from 50-plus yards. Forbath is an 85.9 percent kicker in his seven years […]

Jaguars Release Marcedes Lewis

The Jacksonville Jaguars released tight end Marcedes Lewis on Tuesday, according to a source. Lewis was typically a fantasy afterthought in Jacksonville. He had 24 receptions for 318 yards and five scores last season, but three of those touchdowns came in one game. Lewis is unlikely to latch on with a team that makes him […]

Dan Straily To Be Shut Down 4-5 Days

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Dan Straily (forearm) is dealing with tightness in his right forearm and will not throw for four to five days. The injury isn't believed to be serious, but it puts his availability for the first series of the regular season in jeopardy. Straily was the ace of the staff in 2017, […]

Eric Decker To Visit With Raiders

Updating an ongoing story, free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker will visit with the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday, according to sources. It was initially reported that Decker was flying to visit the Saints, but that turned out to be incorrect. Decker was a disappointment with the Titans in 2017 and had a career-low 10.4 yards per […]

Redskins Expected To Draft Running Back Early

The Washington Redskins are expected to look at drafting a running back in the early rounds. "That's a good possibility, yes," head coach Jay Gruden said. Unless they trade up in the first round, Washington is unlikely to land Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, but the team could also look to add a back […]

Eric Decker Not Visiting With Saints

Updating a previous report, sources say that free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker is not scheduled to visit with the New Orleans Saints. Decker is likely visiting someone, so we'll just have to wait and see. The veteran wideout can play in the slot or on the outside and has traditionally been a great red-zone weapon […]

Eric Decker Visiting Saints

Free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker is visiting with the New Orleans Saints, according to a source. While Decker's best days are likely in the past, he could be a nice depth signing behind Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn. Decker had 54 catches for 563 yards (career-low 10.4 yards per catch) and only one touchdown in […]

Jaguars Release Allen Hurns

The Jacksonville Jaguars released wide receiver Allen Hurns on Tuesday, according to a source. He's expected to have a strong market. Hurns is a very capable receiver in the NFL, but he also missed 11 games combined the last two seasons. He finished with 39 receptions for 484 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games […]

Marlins Send Sandy Alcantara, Braxton Lee To Minors

The Miami Marlins sent top pitching prospect Sandy Alcantara and outfielder Braxton Lee to minor league camp on Tuesday. Alcantara, who came over from the Cardinals in the trade involving Marcell Ozuna, will report to Triple-A. Alcantara impressed in camp and could join the Marlins rotation sooner than later, according to manager Don Mattingly. The […]

J.A. Happ Officially Named Opening Day Starter

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher J.A. Happ has been officially named the team's Opening Day starter, according to manager John Gibbons. Happ will be followed in the rotation by Aaron Sanchez, Marco Estrada, Marcus Stroman and Jaime Garcia. The veteran left-handed had a pretty solid season in 2017, with a 3.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and […]

Mike Pouncey Expected To Sign With Chargers

Free-agent center Mike Pouncey is expected to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to sources. Pouncey struggled last year mainly due to injuries in his final season with the Dolphins, but he'll bring a veteran presence to an offensive line that could be vastly improved in 2018. The 28-year-old Pouncey was the 15th overall […]
