Curtis Granderson Agrees With Blue Jays

Free-agent outfielder Curtis Granderson agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, according to sources. Grandy did manage to hit 26 home runs in 147 games between the Mets and Dodgers in 2017, but he posted a putrid .212/.323/.452 slash line and is no longer a regular lineup fixture. […]

Tigers Open To Trading Nicholas Castellanos

The Detroit Tigers are open to trading third baseman Nicholas Castellanos, according to multiple teams who have spoken with the Tigers this offseason. Detroit recently avoided salary arbitration with Castellanos, who is still only 26 years old, but a long-term contract extension seems unlikely and no progress has been made on one this offseason. Castellanos […]

Gleyber Torres Likely To Need More Time In Minors

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said it is "more likely" that shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres will need extra time in the minors in 2018, and service time will not be in play when considering him for the opening day roster. There is a chance that Torres makes the opening day roster as the […]

Howie Kendrick Re-Signs With Nationals

Updating a previous report, the Washington Nationals re-signed second baseman Howie Kendrick to a two-year, $7 million deal Monday, according to a source. The deal is pending a physical. Kendrick will return as a utility player for the Nats in 2018 after hitting .315/.368/.475 with nine home runs, 41 RBI and 12 stolen bases in […]

Jimmy Nelson Ahead Of Schedule

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is ahead of schedule in his rehab from shoulder surgery, and he plans to throw a baseball for the first time this Friday. He has been using a hyperbaric chamber to speed his recovery, and he spends around two hours a day in the tube. Nelson saw a […]

Orioles Discussing Mike Moustakas, Brandon Drury

The Baltimore Orioles are discussing Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Brandon Drury as a potential return for third baseman Manny Machado. The D-backs have become the most serious suitors for Machado, but there is no indication that the sides are close to a deal. Drury is under team control through 2022 and hit .271/.319/.448 in parts of […]

Darrelle Revis Wants To Play Again In 2018

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Darrelle Revis said he'd like to return for a 12th season in 2018 despite not playing that well in his brief time with the Chiefs. The 32-year-old didn't practice or play until late November but joined the Chiefs and played in five games and the Wild-Card loss to the Titans. However, […]

Bills Hire Brian Daboll As Offensive Coordinator

The Buffalo Bills hired Brian Daboll as their new offensive coordinator on Sunday. It's an underwhelming hire for a coach that has been an assistant for several different NFL teams but hasn't seen much success. He's coming off a national title with Alabama in college, but he'll have his work cut out for him with […]

Andrew Sendejo Suffered Concussion Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo (concussion) suffered a concussion in the Divisional Round win over the Saints on Sunday, and he did not return to the game. Sendejo is an important part of Minnesota's stingy secondary, and he'll have to pass the league's concussion protocol in order to face the Eagles in the NFC title […]

Carlos Henderson Arrested For Marijuana Possession

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Carlos Henderson was arrested for marijuana possession in Louisiana on Sunday. He was the team's third-round pick in the 2017 draft, but he didn't play at all in 2017 due to a thumb injury. Police officers said Henderson admitted to smoking marijuana earlier on Sunday but denied smoking in the […]

Allen Robinson Expects To Pass Physical

Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent wide receiver Allen Robinson (knee) said that he isn't concerned that he won't be able to pass a physical in March for the start of free agency. Robinson played in just one game in 2017 before tearing his ACL, but he was able to catch 73 passes for 883 yards in […]

Josh McDaniels May Prefer Titans Head Coaching Job

The belief is that Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels would prefer the Titans head coaching position over all the others. The health of Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) is an issue, and McDaniels likes the high ceiling of Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota. The Colts job isn't all that attractive unless Luck is able to return […]

Titans To Interview Mike Vrabel For Head Coaching Position

The Tennessee Titans will interview Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel for their vacant head coaching position. With former head coach Mike Mularkey and the Titans agreeing to part ways Monday, the Titans will now need to search for a new head coach to help improve quarterback Marcus Mariota and the offense. Vrabel doesn't seem like […]

Titans, Mike Mularkey Agree To Part Ways

The Tennessee Titans and head coach Mike Mularkey have agreed to part ways, according to a league source. This seems odd after the Titans reportedly were offering Mularkey a contract extension after the Titans pulled off a surprise comeback upset of the Chiefs in the Wild-Card round. However, Mularkey's decisions on offense during the season […]

Jack Conklin Needs Surgery On Torn ACL

Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Jack Conklin (knee) suffered a torn left ACL in the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots, and he'll need to undergo surgery. “He will be a possible PUP candidate once we get though training camp just based on the timing of the injury, which is unfortunate," head coach Mike Mularkey said. […]

Jonnu Smith Tore MCL In Playoffs

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) suffered a torn MCL in the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots. However, he should be able to participate in organized team activities in the offseason, barring any setbacks. In Smith's first season in the NFL, he caught 18 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns. As […]

DeMarco Murray Expects To Bounce Back In 2018

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray is hoping to bounce back in 2018 after dealing with several injuries and a down season in 2017. “I am very confident in myself and I am excited,” Murray said. “I am excited about the future, and my future. I know what kind of player I am.” Murray missed […]

Rex Burkhead Expected To Play In AFC Title Game

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee), who hasn't played since Dec. 17 due to a knee sprain, is expected to play against the Jaguars in the AFC title game next weekend, according to a source. A lot will depend on how much Burkhead does in practice this week, so keep an eye on […]

Drew Brees Expects To Re-Sign With Saints

New Orleans Saints impending free-agent quarterback Drew Brees would like to re-sign with the team, and he believes the team is entering "a window of time here where we can really make a run at it." Brees turns 39 Monday and has a clause in his contract that forbids the team from placing the franchise […]

Leonard Fournette Suffers Ankle Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury and is questionable to return. It's a big blow for the Jags in the Divisional Round against the Steelers. Luckily for those that own Fournette this week, the running back had 12 carries for 82 yards […]

Pirates More Willing To Trade Andrew McCutchen?

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Neal Huntington may be more receptive to trade offers for outfielder Andrew McCutchen after the team traded starting pitcher Gerrit Cole to the Astros on Saturday, according to teams that have spoken with the Pirates. The Giants remain the team most interested in trading for McCutchen as they look to boost […]

Yankees Could Land Yu Darvish At Reasonable Price

With starting pitcher Gerrit Cole being traded to the Houston Astros on Saturday, the New York Yankees are very much interested in signing free-agent starting pitcher Yu Darvish, according to two sources. The stalled free-agent market gives the Yankees a real chance to land Darvish at a "reasonable" price. New York seems to think it's […]

Sam Bradford Expected To Back Up Case Keenum

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) is expected to be the backup to Case Keenum in the Divisional Round game against the Saints on Sunday. Head coach Mike Zimmer has never dressed three quarterbacks in a game, so Teddy Bridgewater is unlikely to be active. As long as Keenum is healthy, he'll remain Minnesota's starting […]

Zay Jones Played Through Torn Labrum

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Zay Jones' (shoulder) father, Robert, said his son played with a torn labrum in his shoulder for most of the season. It may help explain why Jones struggled to find consistency in his first season in the NFL. He saw more snaps (792) than any other receiver on the team […]

Marcus Mariota Suffered Sprained Quad

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) suffered a strained quadriceps in the first quarter of the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots on Saturday, according to head coach Mike Mularkey. Mariota's injury forced the team to alter their offensive game plan, and it likely played a part in Mariota being sacked eight times. Mariota's scrambling […]

Chris Ivory, Jaydon Mickens Inactive

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Ivory and wide receiver Jaydon Mickens (hamstring) are both inactive for the Divisional Round game against the Steelers. Ivory is a healthy scratch, meaning T.J. Yeldon will serve as the main backup to rookie Leonard Fournette. With Fournette seeing most of the work in the backfield, Yeldon isn't much of […]

Antonio Brown Active Against Jaguars

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (calf) is active for the Divisional Round game against the Jaguars on Sunday. Despite being active, Brown will not be 100 percent and may be used as a decoy against Jacksonville's league-best secondary. As a result, he'll be a risky DFS pick, although he could still blow up against […]

Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee Inactive

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee) are both inactive for the Divisional Round game against the Titans on Saturday. With them out, James White will be the passing back out of the backfield along with Dion Lewis. Lewis is the obvious DFS choice here, but White will be a […]

Tom Cable To Join Jon Gruden's Staff

Former Seattle Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable will become the next offensive line coach for the Oakland Raiders under new head coach Jon Gruden. This marriage makes sense because of running back Marshawn Lynch's relationship with Cable from their time together in Seattle. It could also mean that the veteran running back is considering […]

Seahawks Expected To Hire Brian Schottenheimer As Offensive Coordinator

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire former Colts quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer as their new offensive coordinator, according to a league source. It's a curious direction for Seattle, a team with an excellent quarterback but a terrible offensive line. Schottenheimer hasn't seen success in the NFL as an offensive mind, and the Seahawks could […]
