Donnel Pumphrey On the Roster Bubble

Philadelphia Eagles running back Donnel Pumphrey is expected to be on the roster bubble heading into the 2018 season. Pumphrey reportedly faces an "uphill battle" to make the final roster. After a disappointing training camp before last season, he was placed on Injured Reserve and missed the entire year. Recent reports state that Pumphrey has […]

Darren Sproles Could Lead the Eagles Backfield in 2018

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles could lead the Eagles backfield in snaps in 2018, according to NJ.com Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks. Sproles was the starter last season before a season-ending injury, and apparently the presence of Jay Ajayi may not change that this year. While he certainly won't operate as a three-down back, an […]

Aaron Donald Won't Attend OTAs

Los Angeles Rams Pro Bowl defensive tackle Aaron Donald informed the team that he will not be attending organized team activities as he seeks a new contract, according to a team official. This should not come as a surprise. The soon-to-be 27-year-old will get paid handsomely after tying a career high with 11 sacks in […]

Josh Reynolds Tore Labrum Last Year

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds (shoulder) suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder on a punt return in the fourth quarter of the team's playoff loss to the Falcons last year. Reynolds was mostly used on special teams in his rookie season and had only 11 receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown […]

Russell Shepard Signing With Giants

Free-agent wide receiver Russell Shepard signed with the New York Giants on Monday, reuniting with former general manager Dave Gettleman from their days in Carolina. Shepard was a bust for the Panthers in 2017 after signing a three-year, $10 million deal after he had just 17 catches for 202 yards and a touchdown. Shepard will […]

Josh McCown Expected To Open Season As Starter

New York Jets veteran quarterback Josh McCown is expected to enter the season as the starting quarterback. However, first-rounder Sam Darnold, taken third overall in the draft, will be breathing down McCown's neck. Darnold will turn just 21 years old on June 5 and needs to be coached out of some bad habits (22 turnovers […]

Alvin Kamara To See More Touches

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who finished sixth in the league in yards from scrimmage, led the league in yards per carry and caught more passes than any running back not named Le'Veon Bell, is expected to see 14 or 15 carries per game with running back Mark Ingram suspended for the first […]

Antonio Callaway Already Pushing For Corey Coleman's Job

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway is reportedly already making a push for incumbent Corey Coleman's job as the team's No. 3 receiver. Callaway, whom the Browns traded up to take in the fourth round of last month's NFL draft, could have gone in the first round had it not been for multiple character […]

David Njoku Expected To Be Full-Time Starter In 2018

According to a report, the Cleveland Browns plan to make tight end David Njoku the full-time starter heading into the 2018 season. Njoku, one of the team's 2017 first-round picks, split snaps with tight ends Seth DeValve and Randall Telfer during his rookie season, which ate into his production. Telfer is no longer with the […]

Matt Patricia, Lions Will Not be Disciplined

The NFL will not punish the Detroit Lions or head coach Matt Patricia regarding allegations that recently came to light from 22 years ago. The Lions were determined not to be at fault for not learning about the arrest during the interview process, and Patricia will not be disciplined for not disclosing it. This seems […]

Donte Moncrief Expected To Start

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief, a key free-agent addition, is expected to start alongside Marqise Lee in 2018. However, second-year wideouts Keelan Cole and Dede Westbrook also figure to play key roles in the passing game. Moncrief was a disappointment in his four years with the Colts, never catching more than 64 passes, and […]

Dalvin Cook Ahead Of Schedule

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook (knee) is ahead of schedule in his rehab and is expected to get some work in at organized team activities. However, he'll be limited until training camp. "We're excited about where he's at," Zimmer said. Assuming the 22-year-old doesn't have any setbacks, he should […]

Tom Brady Not At OTAs

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will not be present for the team's organized activities, according to a source. After reportedly contemplating retirement this offseason, Brady plans to spend more time with his family and his body coach before training camp this summer. Even at 40 years old, Brady hasn't slowed down much and should […]

Pats Working On Restructuring Rob Gronkowski

The New England Patriots are currently working on restructuring tight end Rob Gronkowski's deal. If the deal includes incentives like last year, the deal can't be completed until May 24. Gronk seriously considered retirement this offseason but plans to return for at least one more season. He's a big injury risk in the early rounds, […]

Julio Jones Not Seen At OTAs

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones "hasn't been seen" at organized team activities on Monday, as expected. One source said, "I doubt he shows up" with the receiver looking for a pay raise with three years and $34.45 million left on his deal. The Falcons remain in "a good place" with Jones despite the fact […]

Vikings Hoping To Sign Stefon Diggs To Extension

The Minnesota Vikings are hoping to sign wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a contract extension. Diggs regressed a little bit from 2016 last season with 64 catches for 849 yards, but he did set a career high and was tied for the team lead with eight touchdown grabs. In a high-flying Minnesota offense that upgraded […]

Adrian Clayborn Injured During OTAs

New England Patriots defensive end Adrian Clayborn (quadriceps), the team's top free-agent signee, tweaked his quadriceps during a workout last week, according to a source familiar with the situation. The injury could cause Clayborn to be limited when Phase 3 of the team's offseason workouts start this week. However, he's still expected to be ready […]

Colts GM: Andrew Luck is the “Strongest I’ve Seen Him"

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard told a crowded room at a local fundraiser that quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) is the “strongest [he has] seen him, both mentally and physically.” While Ballard didn't hint at when Luck would return to throwing the football, it seems as if the recovery process is coming along nicely for […]

Jeff Heuerman Enters OTAs As No. 1 Tight End

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman enters organized team activities as the No. 1 tight end, but Jake Butt will mix in. Heuerman had exactly nine catches in each of his first two seasons in the NFL with Denver, totaling 283 yards (15.7 yards per catch) and two touchdowns, which both came last year. There […]

Terrance Williams Arrested on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams was arrested on Saturday morning for public intoxication and leaving the scene of an accident. Williams reportedly crashed his Lamborghini into a light post and fled the scene of the accident around 3 AM in Frisco, Texas. He was arrested a few hours later when police found him riding […]

Eli Rogers Likely To Return To Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to re-sign wide receiver Eli Rogers once he is fully healthy. Rogers tore his ACL during the playoffs this past season and was released by the team in the offseason. The Steelers have a crowded wide receiver room but they will be looking to replace No. 3 wideout, Martavis Bryant, […]

Vincent Jackson Happily Retired

Free-agent wide receiver Vincent Jackson is "very happily retired," according to one of his representatives. He will finish his career with 9,080 receiving yards and 57 touchdowns with the Chargers and Buccaneers. V-Jax finished with just 15 catches for 173 yards and no touchdowns in five games in 2016 with Tampa, but he posted six […]

Jordan Leggett May Have Leg Up On Starting Job

New York Jets tight end Jordan Leggett, the fifth-rounder in 2017 that missed all of last season due to a knee injury, figures to have the leg up on the starting tight end gig in 2018, although he'll be competing with Chris Herndon and Clive Walford. Herndon was drafted in the fourth round last month. […]

Julio Jones Not Expected To Attend OTAs

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not expected to attend organized team activities next week, according to sources. Jones is seeking an update to his contract, and it sounds like the team is willing to consider it. It seems as though the 29-year-old is always dinged up, but he continues to produce nonetheless and […]

Lions Expect to Have Committee Approach At Running Back

The Detroit Lions are expected to use the dreaded running-back-by-committee approach in 2018. Rookie Kerryon Johnson and veteran LeGarrette Blount will be the primary ball carriers, with Theo Riddick serving as the pass-catching back. This doesn't leave any room for Ameer Abdullah, who could be on his way out. This makes the fantasy situation in […]

Odell Beckham Jr. To Attend OTAs

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) will attend the team's voluntary organized team activities, according to a source. The Giants will start Phase 3 of their offseason conditioning program Monday, May 21, and Beckham will attend despite having not worked out a contract extension with the team. We doubt that OBJ will […]

49ers Could Be Cautious With Richard Sherman

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (Achilles) jogged on the field for the first time Wednesday and on a treadmill before and said he "felt great." Sherman expects to be ready for training camp in late July, but the Niners will likely be very cautious with him. The 30-year-old will be brought along slowly and […]

Chris Godwin May Have Earned Starting Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Monkey continues to praise wide receiver Chris Godwin and thinks he's earned the right to be a starter in 2018. The 22-year-old showed well in his rookie season, catching 34 passes for 525 yards and one touchdown, but he's behind Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson in three-wide sets, so […]

Rashaad Penny Signs Rookie Deal

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, the 27th overall pick in the draft, signed a four-year contract with a fifth-year option on Thursday. His contract will be valued at $10,903,622, including a signing bonus of $6,000,306. Penny is expected to compete with Chris Carson for lead-back duties immediately, and Seattle's coaching staff is high […]

David Johnson Still Wants 1,000 Rushing, 1,000 Receiving Yards

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has stated that his goal for the season is still 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards. This would make him a locked-in, high-end RB1 for the season and see him return to the form that he exhibited in 2016. Johnson spent all of last season injured but is […]
