Masyn Winn Impressing In Camp

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop prospect Masyn Winn has been turning heads in spring training so far. So far in Grapefruit League play, he's gone 7-for-18 (.389) with a homer, double, two RBI, five runs scored and three stolen bases in seven games played. It's nice to see, but the 20-year-old has yet to play at […]

Samson Ebukam Could Cash In As A Free Agent

San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent pass-rusher Samson Ebukam isn't a household name, but he's getting some buzz in early March and could earn somewhere in the double-digit millions per year on the free-agent market this offseason. He had five sacks with the Niners last year and played really well in an expanded role. The 27-year-old […]

Cardinals Could Go After James Bradberry

The Arizona Cardinals could have interest in Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent cornerback James Bradberry this offseason.

However, the Cardinals are clearly in a rebuilding phase, so their spending plan in free agency this year remains a mystery. The 29-year-old had a crucial […]

Harrison Smith Could Be Restructured

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith ($19.1 million salary cap hit in 2023) could be asked by the team to restructure his contract this offseason or take a pay cut.

Lions Interested In Trading For Jalen Ramsey?

The Los Angeles Rams could be trading cornerback Jalen Ramsey this offseason as they look to shed salary, and several teams are pegging the Detroit Lions as a viable option for his services.

Rams Want To Trade Matthew Stafford?

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is fully available to be traded this offseason, and the Rams would love to do it, Michael Lombardi said on The Pat McAfee Show.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers long-time great linebacker Lavonte David, who is coming off one of his most productive seasons, is expected to test the free-agent market this offseason, according to a source.

Vikings Could Release Adam Thielen Soon

There's a real possibility that the Minnesota Vikings part ways with wide receiver Adam Thielen in the coming days, which would allow the two-time Pro Bowl wideout to become a free agent, according to sources.

Clarke Schmidt, Domingo German Likely To Start In Rotation

With the injuries to New York Yankees starting pitchers Carlos Rodon (forearm) and Frankie Montas (shoulder), it's reasonable to assume that both Clarke Schmidt and Domingo German will start the 2023 season in the starting rotation.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Likely To Face Live Pitching Friday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) took some ground balls and hit again on Thursday, and he'll likely face live pitching on Friday and go from there.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (forearm) is dealing with a mild forearm strain and won't throw for the next seven to 10 days, according to general manager Brian Cashman.

Jets Expected To Acquire Chuck Clark From Ravens

The New York Jets are expected to acquire safety Chuck Clark from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for late-round draft-pick compensation, according to sources.

Lamar Jackson Not An Option For Commanders

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said that the team isn't seeking another quarterback whose status or salary would automatically top Sam Howell's. Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who received the non-exclusive franchise tag on Tuesday, is not coming to the Commanders. Jacoby Brissett and Andy Dalton are more realistic for Washington, with either likely […]

Tristan Wirfs Could Be Moving To Left Side

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have discussed the possibility of moving All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs to the left side in 2023.

Jawaan Taylor Could Have Massive Market

Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent right tackle Jawaan Taylor could have a massive free-agent market, and some believe he could command up to $17-18 million per year.
