The Seattle Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson have agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract extension which includes a $65 million signing bonus.

Jordan Taylor Could Return Punts

The Minnesota Vikings are intrigued with the idea of wide receiver Jordan Taylor returning punts in 2019 to replace cornerback Marcus Sherels in the role. Taylor returned 11 punts for 103 yards (9.4 average) in 2017. There's a good chance that the 27-year-old makes more noise on special teams than he does in the offense […]

No Timetable For Delanie Walker

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) doesn't have a timetable for his return to full health.

The 34-year-old […]

Marcus Mariota Adds Some Weight This Offseason

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota said he added five to 10 pounds of "good weight" this offseason. The 25-year-old signal-caller has never played a full season in his four years in the NFL, so hopefully the added weight can keep him on the field for the long haul. He had a career-low 2,528 yards passing, […]

Carson Wentz Still Healing

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz said his recovery from his back injury is going well, but he's not fully healed from the stress fracture. "It’s still getting there," Wentz said.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who had offseason ankle surgery, is out of his walking boot and is working out, but he doesn't know what his timetable will be for a return to the field.

D.K. Metcalf Visiting With Ravens

Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is visiting with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, according to a source.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will report to the team's first day of the offseason program on Monday whether he receives a long-term contract extension by his deadline on April 15 or not.

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. will not report to the team's minicamp this week as he waits for a long-term contract extension.

Trade talks surrounding Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark have died down, although he has yet to sign his $17.128 million franchise tender.
