As expected, the Denver Broncos exercised wide receiver Demaryius Thomas' $4 million option to trigger the final two years of his deal on Tuesday.

Saints Place Tender On Willie Snead

The New Orleans Saints placed a tender on restricted free-agent Willie Snead that will be the right of first refusal only, according to a source.

The Baltimore Ravens are releasing running back Danny Woodhead for salary cap reasons, according to a source.

He should be able to latch on somewhere on […]

Free-agent quarterback Case Keenum intends to sign with the Denver Broncos when free agency opens on Wednesday, according to sources.

Raiders Tender Giorgio Tavecchio

The Oakland Raiders placed a one-year, $555,000 tender on exclusive-rights free-agent place kicker Giorgio Tavecchio on Monday, according to a source.

Rams Place Tender On Malcolm Brown

The Los Angeles Rams applied a minimum-salary tender on exclusive-rights free-agent running back Malcolm Brown, and he should be back in training camp trying to make the 53-man roster.

Case Keenum Could Be Option For Jets

Free-agent quarterback Case Keenum could become a candidate for the New York Jets if they lose out on free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Chargers To Place Second-Round Tender On Tyrell Williams

The Los Angeles Chargers plan to place a second-round tender on restricted free-agent wide receiver Tyrell Williams, according to a source.

Bennie Fowler Becomes Free Agent

The Denver Broncos didn't place a tender on restricted free-agent wide receiver Bennie Fowler, according to a source. That will make him an unrestricted free agent.

Broncos Could Target A.J. McCarron

The Denver Broncos could target free-agent quarterback A.J. McCarron if they miss out on free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins.

McCarron would be a major dropoff from Cousins, though, and his presence under center wouldn't be that thrilling for the fantasy values […]

Broncos Listening To Offers For C.J. Anderson

The Denver Broncos are listening to trade offers for running back C.J. Anderson and do not expect to release him at this time. The 27-year-old had the best season of his career in 2017, rushing 245 times for 1,007 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and three touchdowns, so it would make sense that some teams […]

Saints Interested In Jimmy Graham

The New Orleans Saints have strong interest in free-agent tight end Jimmy Graham, and the feeling is mutual. Graham played with the Saints to open his career from 2010 to 2014, and he recorded 1,000 yards receiving in two of those years and posted a career-high 16 touchdowns with quarterback Drew Brees in 2013. While […]

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (arm) was hit by a line drive in his right arm/hand in his spring outing on Monday and exited the game.

Felix Hernandez Hopes To Throw Bullpen Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (forearm) is hoping to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday.

[…]

Nelson Cruz Scratched For Third Straight Day

Seattle Mariners outfielder/designated hitter Nelson Cruz (illness) was scratched from the spring lineup for the third straight day, although he did take batting practice before the game.

Dolphins To Release Ndamukong Suh

The plan is for the Miami Dolphins to release defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh as early as Monday.

Releasing Suh was mainly about opening up a lot of salary cap space, […]

Redskins Re-Sign Dustin Hopkins

The Washington Redskins re-signed place kicker Dustin Hopkins on Monday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The New York Jets haven't budged on their two-year, $8 million offer to tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, a deal that was put on the table before the season ended. There remains interest on both sides to get a deal done, but it's looking more likely that Seferian-Jenkins will hit the open market. ASF is already […]

Bills A Team To Watch For Sam Bradford, Case Keenum

The Minnesota Vikings continue to stay in touch with free-agent quarterback Sam Bradford (knee), but the Buffalo Bills are one team to watch if he can pass a physical.
