The Philadelphia Eagles have exercised coach Doug Pederson's contract option, which now means he is signed through 2020.

Pederson is a candidate for a big-time extension within […]

Christian Hackenberg Trying To Fix Throwing Motion

New York Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg has been working with quarterbacks coach Jeff Christensen in an attempt to reboot his throwing motion.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan agreed to a five-year contract extension on Thursday that will make him the first $30 million per-year quarterback in NFL history, according to league and team sources.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones is expected to enter the 2018 season as the starting tight end for the team.

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly excited about second-year tight end Blake Jarwin.

Phillip Dorsett Has Option Declined

The New England Patriots declined to exercise wide receiver Phillip Dorsett's fifth-year option for 2019. The 25-year-old had a career-low 12 receptions for 194 yards and zero scores in 15 games in his first season with New England in 2017, and he hasn't had more than 33 catches in his three years in the league. […]

Robby Anderson's Warrant Dropped

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson's attorney, Ed O'Donnell, said the warrant issued for his client has been lifted.

Eagles Sign Joe Callahan

The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent quarterback Joe Callahan. Waived by the Green Bay Packers a few days earlier, Callahan went through waivers unclaimed.

Jason Witten Officially Retires

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has officially retired from the NFL. His 15-year career comes to an end, as he will join ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast starting this season. Witten had been weighing his options over the past few weeks, deciding between playing another season or trading in his cleats for a suit […]

Eagles Sign Markus Wheaton

The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent wide receiver Markus Wheaton to a one-year contract. Wheaton played for the Chicago Bears last season, but injuries limited him to just 11 games.

Jaguars Decline Option On Dante Fowler

The Jacksonville Jaguars did not exercise defensive end Dante Fowler's fifth-year option for the 2019 season, according to a source. However, the team likes Fowler's long-term prospects and could approach a long-term deal with him eventually.

The Kansas City Chiefs acquired tight end Randall Telfer from the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday in exchange for linebacker Dadi Nicolas, according to sources.

Bears Not Picking Up Kevin White's Option

The Chicago Bears will not pick up wide receiver Kevin White's fifth-year option for 2019, according to a source. The 2019 option would've been for $13.9 million.

Not Many Teams Want Dez Bryant

Free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant isn't finding many suitors on the open market, and there are "far more" teams unwilling to pay him at the league minimum salary than there are teams that would even consider signing him for any contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bryant already turned down a three-year, $21 million deal […]

Devonta Freeman Slowly Getting Better

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) is slowly making progress toward being at full strength as the team continues offseason workouts.

Colts Have Turned Down Trade Offers for Andrew Luck

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has reportedly received calls from multiple teams within the past six months asking about trading for quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder), but Ballard hasn't come close to considering a deal.

Lamar Jackson Looks To Be Given Time To Develop

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is not being looked at as the Day 1 starter for Baltimore.

Teddy Bridgewater Is Healthy

New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) is healthy and was throwing Tuesday for Phase 2 of the team's offseason program.
