Odell Beckham Jr. Will Be With Team In 2018

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will "absolutely" be a part of the team in 2018. Beckham isn't ready to physically take part in the team's voluntary minicamp, but it's a great sign that he's even present as the two sides try to work out a long-term contract […]

Bills Unlikely To Trade Up To No. 2 For QB

The Buffalo Bills are unlikely to use their stockpile of draft picks to trade up to No. 2 overall (Giants pick) to select a quarterback, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport. "From what I understand, it's not going to be one of those things where they just sell out and (trade) all the way […]

Kam Chancellor To Undergo Scan This Summer

Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor (neck) will undergo a neck scan in late June or early July, and the team should know more about his future at that time, according to general manager John Schneider. Chancellor has been the heart and soul of Seattle's tough defense for years, but he also hasn't played a full […]

Mike Williams Feels Like His Old Self

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back), who is already being labeled a bust after being selected seventh overall in 2017 but catching just 11 passes for 95 yards in 10 games in his rookie year, is ready to prove his doubters wrong in his sophomore season. “I’m real confident in my abilities. I […]

Chargers Plan To Pick Up Melvin Gordon's Fifth-Year Option

Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco announced Monday that the team plans to pick up running back Melvin Gordon's fifth-year option on his rookie deal.

Odell Beckham Jr. At Team's Minicamp

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) was present at the team's voluntary minicamp on Tuesday, but he is still not 100 percent from his ankle surgery last year, according to a team source.

Tyrell Williams Signs Tender Offer

Los Angeles Chargers restricted free-agent wide receiver Tyrell Williams signed his one-year tender offer on Monday, according to a source. Predictably, Williams struggled in 2017 with Keenan Allen healthy after his breakout season in 2016. Williams had 43 grabs for 728 yards and just four touchdowns in 16 games. He still had a healthy 16.9 […]

Reuben Foster Could Be Released

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that the team will release linebacker Reuben Foster if his charges turn out to be true.

Raiders Exercise Amari Cooper's Fifth-Year Option

The Oakland Raiders exercised wide receiver Amari Cooper's fifth-year option on Monday. Even after posting career lows in catches (48) and yards (680) in 2017, the Raiders had planned to do this all along. With Michael Crabtree now out of the picture in Oakland, Cooper is expected to become even more of a focal point […]

Giants Taking A Long Look At Davis Webb

The New York Giants and head coach Pat Shurmur plan to evaluate quarterback Davis Webb during the team's three-day minicamp that starts Tuesday. Webb is expected to see a heavy workload as he gets his first real opportunity to show the new coaching staff that he belongs on the roster. “It will be a great […]

Ravens Signing Willie Snead

The New Orleans Saints aren't matching restricted free-agent wide receiver Willie Snead's offer sheet with the Baltimore Ravens, meaning he will sign with the Ravens, according to a source. It's an under-the-radar signing after Snead fell off a cliff in his final season with the Saints. However, he did have 72 receptions for 895 yards […]

Ravens Out On Dez Bryant

The Baltimore Ravens are out on free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant after signing wideout Willie Snead. Bryant led the league in dropped passes last season and has been in a steady decline for the past several years. However, he still has size and experience and could be a good red-zone target for whichever team takes […]

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. The Patriots came away "intrigued and impress" with Jackson, and they may have the chance to take him at No. 23 overall. The Patriots have two late first-round picks at their disposal, and they could […]

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. Multiple sources last week said they thought Brady would be back but didn't know for sure. One source estimated there was a "75 percent" chance that Brady would return for another 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. You go in and compete and as you gain confidence […]

Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski Both Expected To Play In 2018

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. Both players have been rumored to be considering retirement, although the Brady news has always seemed like a non-story. Gronk and Brady aren't taking part in voluntary offseason […]

Jets Set On Drafting Baker Mayfield

The New York Jets are considering both Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen with the third overall pick in the draft, but sources say they think Mayfield will end up with the Jets. One source that has dealt with QBs at the top of the draft for the last five years thinks […]

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. We'll likely have a better idea of Foreman's healthy in training camp this summer, but not […]

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. There are also others that are worried with how Jackson will transition to the next level as a passer. His athleticism and talent aren't in question, though, and some team is bound to select him […]

Texans Optimistic On Long-Term Deal With Jadeveon Clowney

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. Clowney is in line to play on his fifth-year option this year at $12 million. "[I like his] height, weight, [and] speed," Gaine said. "The production, the performance, the pass-rush […]

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. Bryant never really seemed to be a great fit in the slot for Baltimore to begin with. The aging receiver led the NFL in drops last season and […]

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. McKenzie said the team is focused on the draft but that "we like Amari." The third-year wideout rubbed his fantasy owners the wrong way in 2017 by posting career lows in […]

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 […]

Willie Snead Signs Offer Sheet With Ravens

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.

Dez Bryant Working Out With Odell Beckham

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. "The Giants," […]

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. Thomas is entering his age-29 season, and it's still not a guarantee that he'll be with Seattle this year, as he's been the subject […]

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. The Broncos recently had Mayfield in for a visit and were able to coach him during the Senior Bowl. All indications suggest they like him, and even though the Broncos are shopping […]
