Spencer Ware Restructures Deal

The Kansas City Chiefs restructured their deal with running back Spencer Ware, with $725,000 of his $1.45 million base salary being converted into incentives, according to a source. He'll have a good shot at reaching those incentives and making the full $1.45 million. Ware is coming off a serious knee injury that kept him out […]

Curtis Samuel Expected To Be Cleared For Training Camp

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (ankle), who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 10 of his rookie year, is expected to be fully cleared to take part in training camp. The Panthers will likely be cautious with the speedster. Samuel had only 19 catches for 179 yards without a score in his rookie campaign, […]

Christian McCaffrey Could See 200 Carries

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will once again play a major part in the offense, and head coach Ron Rivera said he wouldn't be surprised if the second-year back reached 200 carries after having just 117 in 2017. The team is confident in McCaffrey's ability to run between the tackles, and he bulked up […]

Geronimo Allison A Good Bet To Be No. 3 Wideout

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison is the best bet to open the year as the No. 3 receiver behind Davante Adams and Randall Cobb. He'll have to fend off undrafted free agent Michael Clark and three rookie receivers, though. Allison has more opportunity in this offense with Jordy Nelson gone, and he had […]

Matt Nagy Likes Taylor Gabriel

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy is excited about all the ways he can use speedy wide receiver Taylor Gabriel in the offense this year. Nagy said Gabriel has been "everything we thought" since they signed him to a four-year deal in March. “He’s working through some adjustments within the play on what he does […]

Cameron Meredith Could Be No. 2 Receiver

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith is the best option as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Michael Thomas. Ted Ginn was the No. 2 last year, but Brandon Coleman played more snaps than him, showing that the Saints aren't set on facing a certain kind of receiver onto the field. Meredith is the […]

DeAndre Washington Not Expected To Make Team

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington isn't expected to make the roster out of training camp over undrafted rookie Chris Warren. Warren adds a different dynamic to the running game at 6-foot-2, 246 pounds. Washington had only 57 carries for 153 yards (2.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in 15 games with the Raiders […]

Doug Martin Has Impressed Coaches

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin barely topped 400 yards each of the last two years with the Buccaneers, but head coach Jon Gruden likes him, and offensive coordinator Greg Olson said Martin "jumped out" during offseason workouts this spring. Martin could benefit from a change of scenery, but the 29-year-old averaged a weak 2.9 […]

Julio Jones Does Not Plan To Report To Camp

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not planning to report to camp and is comfortable with the idea of sitting out the entire time. The Falcons have stated they will not renegotiate Jones' contract at this stage. However, this stance from Jones may force the issue. Jones has been one of the best receivers […]

Seahawks Asking Price For Earl Thomas Not Dropping

The Seattle Seahawks "still want a really high price" for safety Earl Thomas, with the Dallas Cowboys still interested in him, according to sources. Thomas will hold out of training camp if the Seahawks don't give him a new deal, but Seattle has zero motivation to do that. Thomas is in the final year of […]

Chargers Would Like To Sign Antonio Gates Before Camp Begins

The Los Angeles Chargers would prefer to re-sign tight end Antonio Gates before training camp starts, according to a team source. There has been mutual interest from both sides in a reunion ever since Hunter Henry blew out his knee, so we're a bit surprised nothing has happened yet. Gates, 38, is a shell of […]

Colts Starting Safeties Will Open Training Camp on PUP List

Indianapolis Colts safeties Malik Hooker (knee) and Clayton Geathers (knee) will start training camp on the Physically Unable To Perform (PUP) list as they continue to rehab from their respective injuries. The more worrisome case is clearly Hooker, who is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 7 of last season. The Colts […]

Bashaud Breeland To Visit With Colts

Free-agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland has visits scheduled with the Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns this week, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. This is the second time the Colts have interacted with Breeland this offseason, but he will need to prove to teams that his health concerns are a thing of the past. A $24 million deal […]

Brandon Marshall Not A Lock To Make Roster

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall isn't a lock to make the team out of training camp after he played in just five games with the Giants in 2017 due to a serious ankle injury. Marshall also had surgery on his toe. He had a career-low 18 receptions last year and didn't find the end […]

Eli Rogers To Visit With Browns

Free-agent wide receiver Eli Rogers left his visit with the Chiefs without a deal and will now visit with the Cleveland Browns, according to a source. Rogers played under current Browns offensive coordinator Todd Haley the last three years with Pittsburgh. The speedy receiver had surgery on his ACL in January and isn't even a […]

Malcolm Mitchell Has Surgery On Knee

New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) had a procedure on his knee on Monday and isn't expected to be on the field for the start of training camp, according to a source. Mitchell's 2018 season could be in jeopardy after he missed all of last year with knee issues as well. He was […]

Chris Thompson Avoids PUP

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (leg) has avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp. "I'm feeling pretty good right now, I will start practicing w/ the guys from day one but just taking it slowly....the focus is to really be ready by that first regular season game," Thompson said. He […]

Patriots Placing Kenny Britt On PUP

The New England Patriots have put wide receiver Kenny Britt (hamstring) on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp. Britt dealt with a minor hamstring injury during the offseason program but is expected to be fine for the start of the regular season. Britt was a bust in Cleveland before landing in […]

Cardinals Put Jermaine Gresham On PUP List

The Arizona Cardinals placed tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp. Gresham is a candidate to open the season on the PUP, too, which means he'd miss the first six weeks. Either way, Ricky Seals-Jones is expected to be the team's main pass-catching tight end this […]

Malcolm Mitchell On The Trade Block

The New England Patriots are seeking a trade partner for wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, according to sources. Mitchell had 32 catches in his rookie season in 2016, but knee issues have kept him out since, and he is likely on the roster bubble this summer, even with Julian Edelman slated to miss the first four […]

Jerick McKinnon Could Reach 1,500 Yards From Scrimmage

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has a blend of strength, speed, quickness and catching ability and should be able to provide around 1,500 yards from scrimmage in head coach Kyle Shanahan's system in his first year in San Fran. McKinnon ran for 570 yards and had 421 yards receiving in Minnesota in 2017 […]

Leonard Fournette Playing At 223 Pounds

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is entering training camp at 223 pounds, which is the lowest weight he's played at since high school in 2013. He was noticeably thinner in spring workouts, so this isn't much of a surprise. Fournette looked to break down late last year, so a lighter weight should make him […]

Takkarist McKinley Won't Start Camp On PUP

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (shoulder) will not start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to a source. He was held out of offseason workouts after having left shoulder surgery, and he was limited at the start of camp last year due to surgery on his right shoulder. McKinley has […]

Dante Fowler To Open On PUP List

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler will start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list with an undisclosed injury, according to a source. Fowler has also been suspended for the first game of the season, so his stock is certainly down after recording eight sacks and two fumble recoveries in his third season […]

Shane Ray Avoids Surgery

Denver Broncos linebacker Shane Ray (wrist) did not end up having surgery on his wrist over the summer, as his doctor didn't think it was necessary, according to sources. Ray's timetable for a return is now much quicker than expected. It means he could be ready for the start of the regular season, but it's […]

Denzel Ward Has Positioned Himself To Start

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward, the No. 4 overall pick, has positioned himself for a starting job by rising to the first-team defense in spring workouts and holding his own against receivers Josh Gordon and Jarvis Landry. T.J. Carrie is locked in as one of the starters, but he's been challenged by E.J. Gaines […]

Dee Ford Expected To Be Ready For Camp

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said linebacker Dee Ford (back) should be "ready to go" for the team's first training camp practice on Thursday. Ford played in just six games last year and ended the season on Injured Reserve. He did have a career-high 10 sacks in 2016, though, so a healthy and […]

Spencer Ware Ready For Training Camp

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee), who injured his PCL and LCL and missed the whole 2017 season, should be "ready to go" for the first training camp practice on Thursday, according to head coach Andy Reid.
