Two Teams Interested In Austin Seferian-Jenkins

The Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons are very interested in free-agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, although the New York Jets would like to re-sign him. ASF cleaned up his off-field issues in 2017 with the Jets and caught a career-high 50 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games with Gang Green. The […]

Dion Lewis Won't Lack For Suitors

Free-agent running back Dion Lewis will be quite attractive to plenty of teams in free agency because of his ability to be effective in space and because of his power between the tackles. The Patriots will fight to retain him, but the expectation is he'll be too expensive to retain. The Jets, Titans, Colts, Buccaneers, […]

Plenty Of Interest In Allen Robinson

Free-agent wide receiver Allen Robinson already has plenty of interest in his services, including the 49ers, Bears, Browns, Ravens, Panthers and Jaguars. The Bears and Browns have plenty of salary cap space, while the Ravens, Panthers and Jaguars have cap constraints. Robinson will be at the top of the receiver market. He missed last year […]

Broncos Expected To Pick Up Demaryius Thomas' Option

The Denver Broncos are expected to officially pick up wide receiver Demaryius Thomas' $4 million option in the next day or so before the deadline to do so on Wednesday. Picking up the option will trigger the final two years in his contract. Despite failing to reach 1,000 yards for the first time since 2011, […]

Cardinals To Target Kirk Cousins, Andrew Norwell

The Arizona Cardinals will target free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins and offensive guard Andrew Norwell in free agency. With quarterback Carson Palmer retiring, it's no secret that the Cardinals are looking for a quarterback this year, and offensive line is a another big priority. However, Cousins is expected to land with the Vikings, Broncos or Jets, […]

Robinson Cano To Undergo MRI

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano (hamstring) will undergo a precautionary MRI exam on Monday, but he doesn't think his hamstring injury is serious. While Cano may not miss more than a few days in camp, it's a reminder that at age 35, he's no longer a lock to stay healthy over a full season. […]

J.T. Realmuto Injures Back Sunday

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto (back) was removed from the spring game early Sunday with a lower back contusion. Realmuto has been beat up lately, as he missed some time late last week with a minor knee injury as well. His back injury also doesn't appear serious, thankfully, and Realmuto should be able to return […]

Corey Knebel Says He's Fine

Milwaukee Brewers closer Corey Knebel (knee) said he is fine and occasionally deals with tendinitis in his knee. He is not expecting to miss any time in spring training. Those that already own Knebel can take a sigh of relief for now. The hard-throwing right-hander posted an amazing 14.9 K/9 and 39 saves in a […]

Nelson Cruz Out Sick Again

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz (flu) was scratched from the Cactus League lineup for the second straight day with the flu. The big bopper should be fine in the long run. He managed 39 home runs and 119 RBI in 2017 and should once again threaten the 30-homer mark and could once again put […]

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Being Released

The New York Giants informed cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie that he is being released Sunday, according to a source. The team will save $6.5 million against the salary cap by cutting him. DRC had 48 combined tackles but just half a sack and no interceptions in 2017 after posted a career-high six picks in 2016 with […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Posts Troubling Video

The New York Giants are aware of a potentially troubling video that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. posted Friday while on a Nike-sponsored trip in Europe. The clip posted on social media shows Beckham in a bed holding what appears to be a brown cigarette or cigar. There is a woman next to him with […]

Panthers Interested In Quarterback This Offseason

The Carolina Panthers are heavily interested in adding a veteran quarterback this offseason, as they want to upgrade on backup Derek Anderson given the physical nature of Cam Newton's play. The Browns, Jets, Vikings, Broncos and Cardinals are other teams heavily in on the quarterback market. While Newton does have a physical style of play […]

Mike Gillislee May Have Another Opportunity

Things are looking good for New England Patriots running back Mike Gillislee to get another shot at significant playing time in 2018 with free-agent Dion Lewis unlikely to return. Gillislee was pretty much a non-factor last year, rushing for only 383 yards in nine games, and he was a healthy scratch for much of the […]

Felix Hernandez Feeling Stronger

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (foreram) threw aggressively on flat ground Saturday, and manager Scott Servais isn't ruling Hernandez out to pitch in his 10th straight Opening Day, although James Paxton seems more likely to get the nod. Hernandez threw out to around 120 feet Saturday and said "it's getting better every day." The […]

Paulo Orlando Out 3-6 Days

Kansas City Royals outfielder Paulo Orlando (hamstring) will be out three to six days with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, according to manager Ned Yost. Injuries and poor play hurt Orlando in 2016, as he hit a putrid .197 with two homers, six RBI and one steal in only 39 games. Lorenzo Cain leaving in […]

Mike Moustakas Could See Time At First Base

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said he could give third baseman Mike Moustakas a look at first base in spring training. It would be another way to get infielder Cheslor Cuthbert some playing time. It's an interesting proposition, as Moose would be more valuable to fantasy owners if he added first base eligibility, but […]

Richard Sherman Expected To Be Ready For Camp

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (Achilles) is expected to be ready for training camp this summer, according to sources. Sherman played in only nine games last season due to a torn Achilles, combining for 35 tackles and two interceptions. He'll turn 30 at the end of this month, and while he's getting older, he's […]

Erasmo Ramirez Plays Catch Saturday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Erasmo Ramirez (shoulder) played catch Saturday for the first time since he was shut down three weeks ago, and manager Scott Servais said there's still a chance that Ramirez could be in the rotation by the time the team needs a fifth starter in mid-April. After returning to Seattle midseason last […]

Giants Ask Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie To Take Pay Cut

The New York Giants have asked cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to take a significant pay cut from the $6.5 million he's owed in 2018, according to sources. Rogers-Cromartie and the team are far apart in talks. There has also been some talk about DRC possibly switching positions this year. He disappointed in his fourth season with […]

49ers Reach Agreement With Richard Sherman

Updating a previous report, the San Francisco 49ers and free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman have agreed to a three-year deal Saturday, according to sources. Sherman visited with the Niners on Saturday, and they didn't let him get away. The two sides appear to be a perfect fit, as Sherman went to nearby Stanford in college and […]

49ers Offer Richard Sherman A Three-Year Deal

Free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman is considering a potential three-year deal from the San Francisco 49ers, according to sources. The Niners don't appear to be concerned that the aging superstar is coming off two Achilles surgeries in the offseason. San Fran could be the perfect fit for Sherman, as he's a Northern California native and would […]

Paul Richardson Expects To Move On

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent Paul Richardson hinted on his Twitter account that he doesn't expect to re-sign with the Seahawks. After posting career highs across the board last year in catches (44), yards (703) and touchdowns (six), Richardson is looking for a pay rise that Seattle is unwilling to give him. The soon-to-be 26-year-old is […]

Corey Knebel Tweaks Knee

Milwaukee Brewers closer Corey Knebel (knee) slipped on a wet mound in Cactus League action Saturday and slightly tweaked his left knee, according to manager Craig Counsell. However, Counsell said the injury wasn't serious, and they removed Knebel for "precautionary" reasons. It looks like Knebel dodged a bullet here, but it's something worth keeping an […]

Ryan Braun Not Comfortable At First Base

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, who was playing left field in spring training Saturday, said he's "not remotely comfortable" playing at first base yet. Given Milwaukee's plethora of outfielders in 2018, the team would like Braun to move to first base and share time with Eric Thames. Injuries always remain a concern for Braun, too, […]

Nelson Cruz Scratched Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Nelson Cruz (illness) was scratched from the spring lineup Saturday because he wasn't feeling well. Cruz will be fine. He managed to hit .288 with 39 home runs, 119 RBI and a .549 slugging percentage in 556 at-bats for Seattle last year and will once again be a strong fantasy consideration, even […]

Jose Urena Named Opening Day Starter

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena has been named the team's Opening Day starter. He'll get the nod over Dan Straily. On the surface, Urena was great in 2017 with a 14-7 record, 3.81 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, but when you look further, there are reasons to be skeptical. His FIP was 5.20 and he […]

Muhammad Wilkerson Visiting With Chiefs

Free-agent defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson said he is visiting with the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. After signing a big extension with the Jets, Wilkerson bombed out and wore out his welcome in the Big Apple. However, he's a high-end talent on the defensive line and may benefit from a change of scenery. He's just […]

Richard Sherman Meeting With 49ers

Free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman is scheduled to meet with the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, according to sources. San Fran would like to make sure Sherman has healed from his Achilles surgeries in the offseason, but they could sign him to a deal before he leaves the meeting. The Niners are trying to upgrade their […]

Patriots Acquire Danny Shelton

The New England Patriots are acquiring defensive tackle Danny Shelton from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a conditional pick, according to league sources. The third-year defensive lineman combined for 34 tackles in 14 games last year but is more of a run-stuffer, with just 1.5 sacks in his three seasons. The Patriots can use […]

Cardinals Tender Elijhaa Penny

The Arizona Cardinals extended a tender offer to exclusive-rights free-agent running back Elijhaa Penny. Penny will be back in 2018 after running 31 times for 124 yards (4.0 yards per carry) and two scores in his rookie season. He figures to be depth behind David Johnson next season and is unlikely to have any fantasy […]
