Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hernia) is expected to be out six to eight weeks after his latest surgery for a sports hernia.

Browns Cooling On Trading Duke Johnson?

It appears the Cleveland Browns have cooled on attempting to trade running back Duke Johnson. "I don’t know why we would ever want to, like, just voluntarily give up a good football player.

Ndamukong Suh Unlikely To Return To Rams

Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead said that re-signing veteran defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is "pretty much guaranteed to be off the table."

Antonio Gates Could Return For Another Season

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said the return of veteran tight end Antonio Gates is "absolutely" a possibility for the 2019 season.

Ravens To Keep Jimmy Smith

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta all but affirmed that veteran cornerback Jimmy Smith will remain with the team in 2019.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said he thinks wide receiver Chris Godwin can be "close to a 100-catch guy" in 2019.
