Vikings Release Jarius Wright

The Minnesota Vikings released wide receiver Jarius Wright after he restructured his deal last year. Wright had 18 catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns in his final season with the Vikings in 2017. He never had more than 42 catches, 588 yards or three scores in his six years with the Vikes. Wright is […]

Patriots Agree With Adrian Clayborn

The New England Patriots reached an agreement with free-agent defensive end Adrian Clayborn on Friday, according to a source. Clayborn is coming off a career-high 9.5 sacks with the Falcons in 2017, but before last year, he hadn't recorded more than 4.5 sacks since his 7.5-sack rookie season in 2011. Clayborn will provide pass-rushing help […]

Lions, LeGarrette Blount Agree to Deal

The Detroit Lions have come to terms with free-agent running back LeGarrette Blount on a one-year, $4.5 million contract. New head coach Matt Patricia is known to be a big Blount fan, and the two worked together when Blount was on the Patriots. Blount followed up his 18-touchdown 2016 season with just two touchdowns last […]

Patriots Sign Jeremy Hill

The New England Patriots signed free-agent running back Jeremy Hill on Friday, according to a source. Hill had a promising rookie year with the Bengals, putting up 1,124 yards on the ground and nine touchdowns, but aside from his career-high 11 scores in 2015, he averaged less than 4.0 yards per carry in his last […]

Mike Pouncey To Visit With Chargers

Free-agent center Mike Pouncey will start his visits with the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, according to a source. Pouncey graded out poory with the Dolphins in 2017, but he can provide a stabilizing and veteran presence on an offensive line that surely could use it in LA.

Sheldon Richardson Agrees With Vikings

Free-agent defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson agreed to a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source. Already a top fantasy defense heading into the 2018 season, the Vikings just got considerably better on the defensive line with the addition of Richardson. He had just 2.5 sacks the last two years but will be […]

Chicago Matches Green Bay’s Offer Sheet for Kyle Fuller

Late on Friday, cornerback Kyle Fuller, who had been assigned the transition tag by Chicago, signed an offer sheet with the Green Bay Packers. Chicago quickly matched the offer and will retain Fuller on a long-term deal that will make Fuller one of the highest paid cornerbacks in the league. The deal is for four […]

Chiefs Signing Chad Henne

The Kansas City Chiefs are signing free-agent quarterback Chad Henne to a two-year deal, according to a source. He will serve as the backup to young quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The veteran Henne will serve as a mentor for the promising Mahomes. Henne has attempted just two passes in the regular season since 2015 and won't […]

Texans Claim Sammie Coates

The Houston Texans claimed wide receiver Sammie Coates off waivers from the Cleveland Browns on Friday, according to a source. Coates had only six receptions for 70 yards in 12 games for the Browns in his lone season, and he hasn't had more than 21 catches for 435 yards in his three NFL seasons. Coates […]

Jerick McKinnon To Have Large Role In Niners Offense

The San Francisco 49ers placed a large priority on running back Jerick McKinnon in free agency, which is why they signed him to a four-year, $30 million deal ($11.7 million in guarantees). Head coach Kyle Shanahan sees McKinnon filling the Devonta Freeman role from his time in Atlanta. McKinnon averaged 4.0 yards per attempt on […]

Michael Crabtree Signs Three-Year Deal With Baltimore

The Baltimore Ravens signed free-agent wide receiver Michael Crabtree to a three-year deal worth $21 million. While Crabtree posted 16 touchdowns in the last two seasons, he fell off dramatically in 2017 (58 catches, 618 yards) and fell out of favor with the new coaching staff under head coach Jon Gruden. Crabtree will be given […]

Ryan Grant to Meet with Colts

After free-agent wide receiver Ryan Grant failed a physical assessment and voided his contract with the Baltimore Ravens, the former Washington Redskin is scheduled to meet with the Indianapolis Colts, per ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Grant could help boost an ailing Colts wide receiver core that has little depth outside of T.Y. Hilton and […]

Vinny Curry Released by the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles release defensive end Vinny Curry. His contract would have been guaranteed on Sunday, so after Curry refused to take a pay cut, the Eagles were forced to set him free. Curry's career as an Eagle was essentially over once the team acquired defensive end Michael Bennett. Curry was excellent last season, grading […]

Lions Set to Host Luke Willson

The Detroit Lions are still looking for a new tight end and are bringing in former Seahawks tight end Luke Willson. Willson is more of a blocking tight end and would replace Darren Fells, who departed for Cleveland. As such, Willson is unlikely to hold much fantasy value in the Motor City. He has never topped […]

Buccaneers Interested In Bringing Back Adrian Clayborn

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have interest in bringing back defensive end Adrian Clayborn, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN. Clayborn was drafted by the Buccaneers in the first round of the 2011 draft and played with them for four seasons. He spent the last three years with the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, where last season he […]

Greg Olsen Committed To Playing In 2018

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is committed to playing in 2018 and beyond despite the fact that he was auditioning for an ESPN broadcasting job on Friday, according to sources. Olsen is just setting himself up for life after football apparently. Not many would have blamed Olsen for hanging up his cleats after a […]

Bengals' Vontaze Burfict Suspended Four Games

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict has been suspended for the first four games of the 2018 NFL season for a violation of the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. No appeal date has been set yet. Pending appeal, Burfict will be absent for the first four games for Cincinnati next season. The controversial linebacker is one of […]

Lions Re-Sign Zach Zenner

The Detroit Lions re-signed running back Zach Zenner. Terms were not disclosed. Zenner was a deep backup on a poor running team last year, only mustering 14 carries for 26 yards on the season. With Detroit looking at multiple free-agent running backs, it seems likely that Zenner will be buried on the bench once again. […]

Markus Wheaton Visiting Seattle

Free-agent wide receiver Markus Wheaton is visiting the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source. After losing tight end Jimmy Graham and receiver Paul Richardson in free agency, the Seahawks are in desperate need of pass-catching help. Unfortunately, Wheaton probably wouldn't provide that. He failed to stay healthy in 2017, catching all of three passes for […]

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie To Take His Time

Free-agent cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said he's in no rush to make a decision in free agency, and he may wait until "April sometime." The Redskins have shown some interest in DRC, but the veteran cornerback won't sign with them right away. Rodgers-Cromartie didn't intercept a pass last year for the first time since 2011, but […]

Latavius Murray Restructures Contract

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray restructured his contract ahead of the deadline Friday, when he would've been guaranteed $5.15 million. Murray ran for 842 yards and eight touchdowns for the Vikes last season, but he saw more work than expected when rookie Dalvin Cook blew out his knee early in the year. With Cook […]

Saints Bring Back Alex Okafor

The New Orleans Saints re-signed linebacker Alex Okafor on a two-year deal worth up to $10 million, according to a source. Okafor was having an All-Pro season before he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. He racked up 43 tackles and 4.5 sacks in just 10 games, and the Saints understandably want to see what he […]

Thomas Rawls Visiting With Chiefs

Free-agent running back Thomas Rawls is visiting with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, according to a source. Rawls had a promising rookie year in 2015 with 147 carries for 830 yards (5.6 yards per carry) and four touchdowns for Seattle, but an ankle injury later that year has doomed him since. He has been […]

Bills Re-Sign Taiwan Jones

The Buffalo Bills re-signed running back Taiwan Jones to a one-year deal on Friday. Jones broke his arm in Week 9 against the Jets last year, but when healthy played a "gunner" role on special teams mainly. Unless Buffalo's running game suffers widespread injuries, Jones can be ignored for fantasy. He didn't have a single […]

Ed Dickson Joining Seahawks

Free-agent tight end Ed Dickson is signing with the Seattle Seahawks on a three-year deal worth $14 million maximum, with one year fully guaranteed, according to a source. With Jimmy Graham headed to Green Bay and Luke Willson likely moving on as well, Dickson effectively becomes the team's top tight end option. He had 30 […]

Greg Olsen Auditioning As Analyst

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is auditioning Friday to be an analyst on ESPN's Monday Night Football, according to sources. The 33-year-old could continue his career in 2018 if he doesn't get the job. Olsen played in just seven games last year because of a foot injury, which makes sense why he might be […]

Lions Host Mike Davis

The Detroit Lions are continuing their search for a new running back, this time bringing in former Seahawks back Mike Davis. Davis spent most of last season on the practice squad but exploded onto the scene late in the year, rushing 68 times for 240 yards and hauling in 15 catches for 131 yards. Again, […]

Michael Crabtree To Visit Ravens Friday

New free-agent wide receiver Michael Crabtree will visit the Baltimore Ravens on Friday. Crabtree was released by Oakland on Thursday. The Ravens also had a rough day Thursday, as they had to void a contract they had agreed to with wide receiver Ryan Grant after he failed his physical. While Crabtree posted 16 touchdowns in […]

Ryan Grant Fails Physical, Deal Is Void

The deal between the Baltimore Ravens and wide receiver Ryan Grant was voided Thursday after Grant failed a physical. He was supposed to be a new weapon for Flacco but now the Ravens will need to look elsewhere. Grant will now try to find another team. Grant caught 45 balls for 573 yards and four […]

Raiders Sign Tahir Whitehead

The Oakland Raiders signed free-agent linebacker Tahir Whitehead on Thursday. The soon-to-be 28-year-old had a great year in Detroit in 2017, posting 110 tackles, one sack, four fumble recoveries and an interception, and that came after a career-high 132 tackles in 2016. He's a fine acquisition for new head coach Jon Gruden's defense, and Whitehead […]
