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 […]

Jets Re-Sign Morris Claiborne

The New York Jets are re-signing cornerback Morris Claiborne on a one-year, $7 million deal, according to sources. Claiborne performed admirably last year with Gang Green, recording 43 tackles and an interception, and the 28-year-old will pair nicely with the recently acquired Trumaine Johnson.

Ndamukong Suh To Visit With Titans

Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is set to visit with the Tennessee Titans, according to a source. Suh will likely go on more visits after this, and he could take his time to sign with a team. Suh doesn't rack up a ton of sacks, but he's a highly disruptive force on the interior and […]

Cairo Santos Signing With Jets

Free-agent place kicker Cairo Santos is signing a one-year deal with the New York Jets. Santos played in only five games with the Chiefs and Bears in 2017 and made four of his five field goal attempts, but he missed his only chance from 50-plus yards and has never really had a strong leg. He's […]

Rams Restructure Tavon Austin's Contract

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin will be on a one-year, $5 million deal in 2018, which could be worth up to $8 million in incentives. The rest of his contract will be eliminated. It's a huge pay cut, and justifiably so after he was a glorified and overpaid gadget player for the Rams […]

Jeremy Hill To Visit With Patriots On Friday

Free-agent running back Jeremy Hill will visit with the New England Patriots on Friday, according to a source. Hill really fell off the fantasy map the last two seasons. He posted 3.8 yards per carry but had nine touchdowns in 2016 and was sporting a career-low 3.1 yards per carry in seven games for the […]

Kyle Shanahan Gushes Over Jerick McKinnon

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he got "lost" watching running back Jerick McKinnon's game film before they signed him for four years and $30 million. "There's so many things I liked about him, just visualizing how I would use him and the stuff that we would do," Shanahan said Thursday. "Even though […]

Redskins Re-Sign Zach Brown

The Washington Redskins re-signed linebacker Zach Brown to a three-year deal worth a max of $24 million on Thursday, according to a source. Brown has really put himself on the IDP map the last two years, accumulating 149 tackles with Buffalo in 2016 and 127 last year with Washington. He also has 6.5 sacks and […]

Dolphins Bringing Back David Fales

The Miami Dolphins are re-singing quarterback David Fales to a one-year deal, according to a source. For now, Fales is the current backup to Ryan Tannehill with Matt Moore being a free agent. However, Miami is fully expected to select a quarterback in the draft, and they may move up to do so. Fales has […]

Eric Ebron To Visit With Panthers Friday

Free-agent tight end Eric Ebron will visit with the Carolina Panthers on Friday, according to a source. The 10th overall pick for Detroit in 2014, Ebron never lived up to his draft pedigree. He was extremely inconsistent and constantly struggled with dropped passes. He caught 53 passes for 574 yards and four touchdowns in 2017, […]

Tyrod Taylor Named Starting Quarterback

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson told the media on Thursday that Tyrod Taylor will be the team's starter in 2018. Jackson went on to state, "He's going to be the starting quarterback. There is no competition." The Browns are widely expected to use one of their first-round picks on a rookie quarterback but it […]

Cowboys Out on Ndamukong Suh

The Dallas Cowboys showed interest in signing free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh when he was first made available, but a recent reports say the team is now "out" on the former Miami Dolphin. Suh has never missed a game due to injury and is still performing at a high level. The New Orleans Saints and […]

Raiders Releasing Michael Crabtree

The Oakland Raiders are releasing wide receiver Michael Crabtree on Thursday, according to a source. While it's not official yet, this likely means Oakland will be signing free-agent receiver Jordy Nelson to take Crabtree's place as the main red-zone weapon for quarterback Derek Carr. While Crabtree posted 16 touchdowns in the last two seasons, he […]

Raiders Not Planning To Part With Marshawn Lynch

The Oakland Raiders have no plans to part ways with running back Marshawn Lynch, even after signing Doug Martin on Thursday. In his first season in Oakland, Beast Mode had 207 carries for 891 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns as one of the few bright spots in what was a disappointing offense. […]

Luke Willson To Meet With Jaguars

Free-agent tight end Luke Willson will meet with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday. Willson is more of a blocking tight end and has never topped 22 catches, 362 yards or four touchdowns in a single season in his five years in the NFL. If he were to land in Jacksonville, he'd have a very limited […]

Cairo Santos Visiting With Jets

Free-agent place kicker Cairo Santos is visiting with the New York Jets on Thursday, and there is a very good chance he signs with them. Santos was cut by the Chiefs early last season and spent three games with Chicago after that, hitting just one of his two field goal tries. He's an 84.1 percent […]
