Cairo Santos Signing With Jets

Free-agent place kicker Cairo Santos is signing a one-year deal with the New York Jets. Santos played in only five games with the Chiefs and Bears in 2017 and made four of his five field goal attempts, but he missed his only chance from 50-plus yards and has never really had a strong leg. He's […]

Rams Restructure Tavon Austin's Contract

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin will be on a one-year, $5 million deal in 2018, which could be worth up to $8 million in incentives. The rest of his contract will be eliminated. It's a huge pay cut, and justifiably so after he was a glorified and overpaid gadget player for the Rams […]

Jeremy Hill To Visit With Patriots On Friday

Free-agent running back Jeremy Hill will visit with the New England Patriots on Friday, according to a source. Hill really fell off the fantasy map the last two seasons. He posted 3.8 yards per carry but had nine touchdowns in 2016 and was sporting a career-low 3.1 yards per carry in seven games for the […]

Kyle Shanahan Gushes Over Jerick McKinnon

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he got "lost" watching running back Jerick McKinnon's game film before they signed him for four years and $30 million. "There's so many things I liked about him, just visualizing how I would use him and the stuff that we would do," Shanahan said Thursday. "Even though […]

Redskins Re-Sign Zach Brown

The Washington Redskins re-signed linebacker Zach Brown to a three-year deal worth a max of $24 million on Thursday, according to a source. Brown has really put himself on the IDP map the last two years, accumulating 149 tackles with Buffalo in 2016 and 127 last year with Washington. He also has 6.5 sacks and […]

Dolphins Bringing Back David Fales

The Miami Dolphins are re-singing quarterback David Fales to a one-year deal, according to a source. For now, Fales is the current backup to Ryan Tannehill with Matt Moore being a free agent. However, Miami is fully expected to select a quarterback in the draft, and they may move up to do so. Fales has […]

Eric Ebron To Visit With Panthers Friday

Free-agent tight end Eric Ebron will visit with the Carolina Panthers on Friday, according to a source. The 10th overall pick for Detroit in 2014, Ebron never lived up to his draft pedigree. He was extremely inconsistent and constantly struggled with dropped passes. He caught 53 passes for 574 yards and four touchdowns in 2017, […]

Felix Hernandez To Throw Bullpen Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (forearm) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday and could pitch in a minor league game next week. Hernandez will need to make at least several starts in camp before the team deems him ready to start during the first series of the regular season, but it's possible. […]

Ryon Healy Expected To Play This Weekend

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ryon Healy (hand) is making good progress and is expected to return to game action this weekend. That's great news for Healy, and barring a setback, he might actually be fine for Opening Day. Healy makes a lot of hard contact and hits a lot of balls in the air, but […]

Chris Archer To Start On Opening Day

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer will start on Opening Day. Archer remains the clear ace of this four-man rotation, although fantasy owners may be a bit hesitant to invest after he posted a 7.48 ERA and five home runs to close out last year in September. He's still a low-end fantasy ace after […]

Raiders Releasing Michael Crabtree

The Oakland Raiders are releasing wide receiver Michael Crabtree on Thursday, according to a source. While it's not official yet, this likely means Oakland will be signing free-agent receiver Jordy Nelson to take Crabtree's place as the main red-zone weapon for quarterback Derek Carr. While Crabtree posted 16 touchdowns in the last two seasons, he […]

Raiders Not Planning To Part With Marshawn Lynch

The Oakland Raiders have no plans to part ways with running back Marshawn Lynch, even after signing Doug Martin on Thursday. In his first season in Oakland, Beast Mode had 207 carries for 891 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns as one of the few bright spots in what was a disappointing offense. […]

Luke Willson To Meet With Jaguars

Free-agent tight end Luke Willson will meet with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday. Willson is more of a blocking tight end and has never topped 22 catches, 362 yards or four touchdowns in a single season in his five years in the NFL. If he were to land in Jacksonville, he'd have a very limited […]

Cairo Santos Visiting With Jets

Free-agent place kicker Cairo Santos is visiting with the New York Jets on Thursday, and there is a very good chance he signs with them. Santos was cut by the Chiefs early last season and spent three games with Chicago after that, hitting just one of his two field goal tries. He's an 84.1 percent […]

Dontari Poe Signing With Panthers

Free-agent defensive tackle is signing with the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. The Redskins also were interested in his services. The 27-year-old spent just one year in Atlanta after opening his career with five seasons in Kansas City. He had 39 combined tackles and 2.5 sacks in 2017 but remains a solid run-stopper who […]

Tahir Whitehead Visiting With Raiders

Free-agent cornerback Tahir Whitehead is visiting with the Oakland Raiders, according to a source. Whitehead would figure to be a three-down linebacker in Oakland after back-to-back seasons with over 100 tackles for the Detroit Lions. The 27-year-old had 110 tackles, one sack, four fumble recoveries and one interception in 2017.

Raiders Agree With Doug Martin

The Oakland Raiders agreed to terms with free-agent running back Doug Martin on Thursday, according to a source. With Marshawn Lynch not a lock to return for his second season, there is a chance that Martin could become the team's lead back, although he'd surely split repetitions with Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington. Martin didn't […]

Dolphins To Release Mike Pouncey

Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey has requested his release, and the team is expected to grant it on Thursday, according to a source. The Dolphins have definitely made a culture change, moving on from Pouncey, wide receiver Jarvis Landry and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh this offseason. Pouncey will surely have plenty of suitors on the […]

Saints Interested In Ndamukong Suh

The New Orleans Saints are interested in free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and are working to bring him in for a visit, according to a source. Adding Suh would go a long way toward improving the team's front seven, and the Saints would surely be attractive as a fantasy unit with one of the most […]

Saints Pushing Hard For Jordy Nelson

The New Orleans Saints are pushing hard to secure free-agent wide receiver Jordy Nelson away from the Raiders, according to a source. The Seahawks are another team in the mix for Nelson. Nelson appears to be close to making a decision one way or another, and Oakland may be the front-runner. In New Orleans, a […]

Johnathan Joseph Returning To Houston

The Houston Texans agreed to bring back cornerback Johnathan Joseph on a two-year deal, according to a source. In what was a bad Houston secondary in 2017, Joseph was the lone bright spot, combining for 47 tackles, two interceptions and nine passes defensed.

Chiefs An Option For Matt Moore

The Kansas City Chiefs are an option to sign free-agent quarterback Matt Moore. Moore is one of the more attractive backup quarterbacks remaining on the market. He has spent the last seven years with Miami, playing in eight games the last two seasons while tossing 12 touchdowns to eight interceptions. In Kansas City, he'd just […]

Chad Henne To Meet With Titans, Chiefs

Free-agent quarterback Chad Henne is visiting the Tennessee Titans on Thursday and will travel to meet with the Kansas City Chiefs later on, according to a source. The 32-year-old Henne has attempted two passes in the last two years with the Jaguars. He'd strictly be a backup to either Marcus Mariota in Tennessee or Patrick […]

Seattle Makes Offer To Sheldon Richardson

The Seattle Seahawks offered free-agent defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson $11 million a year, but he's seeking $15 million. That's a sizeable gap, and Richardson is sure to have other suitors on the open market. The 27-year-old had just 2.5 sacks the last two seasons, but Seattle would like to keep him around after losing Michael […]

Jaron Brown To Visit With Seattle

Free-agent wide receiver Jaron Brown is traveling to visit with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, according to a source. Brown posted career highs in catches (31), yards (477) and touchdowns (four) in his fifth and final season in Arizona. With Paul Richardson leaving for Washington and Jimmy Graham going to Green Bay, the Seahawks are […]

Patriots, Falcons Showing Interest In Danny Woodhead

The New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons are showing interest in free-agent running back Danny Woodhead, according to sources. Woodhead played with New England from 2010 to 2012, so he's certainly familiar with them. He's looking to rehabilitate his image after playing in just 10 games the last two seasons due to injuries. The Pats […]

Mutual Interest Between Seahawks, Ndamukong Suh

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. Suh is one of the most disruptive run-stopping forces in all of football, so he'll certainly attract plenty of interest on the open market, and the Cowboys […]

Von Miller Restructures Contract

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. It looks like Denver might be done on the free-agent market after adding quarterback Case Keenum. The former second overall pick in 2011, […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Visiting With Jaguars

Free-agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins said that he is visiting with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday. Seferian-Jenkins is one of the best tight ends left on the market, and he's receiving interest from the Seahawks, Jets and Falcons as well. He caught a career-high 50 passes in 2017 and appears to have his life on […]

Texans Interested In Tyrann Mathieu

The Houston Texans are seriously interested in free-agent safety Tyrann Mathieu after he was released by the Cardinals on Wednesday. The Texans already added cornerback Aaron Colvin, and the addition of Mathieu would certainly help improve a secondary that was among the league's worst in 2017. The Honey Badger has seen his play decline the […]
