Cardinals Tender Elijhaa Penny

The Arizona Cardinals extended a tender offer to exclusive-rights free-agent running back Elijhaa Penny. Penny will be back in 2018 after running 31 times for 124 yards (4.0 yards per carry) and two scores in his rookie season. He figures to be depth behind David Johnson next season and is unlikely to have any fantasy […]

Jarvis Landry Could Play Under Franchise Tag

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry and his new team have not included a long-term extension as part of the trade, and he could play out the 2018 season on the one-year franchise tag. The two sides will likely discuss an extension, but it's not a guarantee it will happen. Landry could choose to play […]

49ers Won't Pick Up Elvis Dumervil's Option

The San Francisco 49ers will not pick up linebacker Elvis Dumervil's option for the 2018 season, which will make him a free agent. He led the team with 6.5 sacks in 2017, and it was his highest sack total since he accumulated a whopping 17 quarterback takedowns with Baltimore in 2014. Dumervil, 34, isn't the […]

Panthers Tender Damiere Byrd

The Carolina Panthers tendered exclusive-rights free-agent wide receiver Damiere Byrd on Friday. Byrd had just 10 catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns (all career highs), but his season was cut short by arm and leg injuries. He'll return as receiver depth for the team, but he's unlikely to have much of a role, especially […]

Packers Trade Damarious Randall for Backup Quarterback

Ian Rapoport has reported that the Green Bay Packers have traded cornerback Damarious Randall for Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer. Kizer was a second-round draft pick of the Browns in 2017 who started 15 games last year. His play was very disappointing, throwing 22 interceptions with only 11 touchdowns. An athletic, physical and competitive player, […]

Mike Evans Signs Extension

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and wide receiver Mike Evans agreed to a five-year, $82.5 million extension that will include $55 million in guarantees on Friday, according to sources. That means Evans is now under contract through the 2023 season. It's a big deal for a player that has opened his career with four straight 1,000-yard […]

Chris Johnson Interested In Return To Tennessee

Free-agent running back Chris Johnson indicated on Twitter that he would be open to a return to the Tennessee Titans. Formerly known as CJ2K during his time with the Titans from 2008 to 2013, Johnson played in just eight games with the Cardinals the last two years and put up a career-worst 2.5 yards per […]

Lions Met with Eric Ebron

The Detroit Lions met with tight end Eric Ebron on Thursday to discuss his future. The team is open to dealing him and let him know that, while not supplying any guarantees that he will be on the team next year. The 2014 first-round draft pick has failed to live up to expectations in the […]

Ravens Interested In Re-Signing Michael Campanaro

The Baltimore Ravens are interested in re-signing wide receiver/kick returner Michael Campanaro. He led the AFC in punt returns in 2017 but had just 19 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown in 13 games. Campanaro isn't worthwhile to fantasy owners unless you're in an extremely deep league that counts return yardage.

Kyle Rudolph Has Cast Removed

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) had his cast removed Thursday and expects to be ready by June. Barring a setback, Rudolph should be all systems go for training camp this summer. He had 57 catches for 532 yards and matched a team high with eight touchdown catches in 16 games. Rudolph's numbers tailed […]

Titans Cut Matt Cassel, Eric Weems

The Tennessee Titans are releasing quarterback Matt Cassel and wide receiver Eric Weems on Friday. Cassel made one start in place of Marcus Mariota last year, going 21-for-32 for 141 yards with a touchdown. Weems saw very limited offensive snaps and hauled in just one catch for five yards in 2017. He has a whopping […]

Colts Expected to Move on From Donte Moncrief

According to the Indianapolis Star, the Indianapolis Colts are expected to "(part) ways for good" with wide receiver Donte Moncrief. Despite flashing all the potential that a coach could want in a dominant NFL wide receiver, Moncrief's inconsistency and injury history were too loud to ignore. Moncrief will hit the open market as a 24-year-old […]

Muhammad Wilkerson To Visit With Saints

Free-agent defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson left his visit with the Packers without a deal and will meet with the New Orleans Saints next, according to sources. Wilkerson wore out his welcome with the Jets after signing a big extension, but a change of scenery may serve him well. The Saints could really use help on […]

Bucs Re-Sign Ryan Fitzpatrick

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to re-sign quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitz was forced into starting several games for Tampa last year with Jameis Winston injured, and the Amish Rifle had a 58.9 completion percentage with 1,103 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions. Fitzpatrick is an above-average backup in the NFL but isn't on the fantasy […]

Richard Sherman Likely To Be Released

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is likely to be released by Friday, barring something unexpected. Seattle has explored trade options for Sherman, but nothing has materialized. He's due an $11 million salary in 2018 and is coming off two Achilles surgeries. The Seahawks are open to re-signing him at a lesser cost, but it's believed […]

Charges Dropped Against Tyler Boyd

Drug charges against Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd were dismissed in Pittsburgh. Boyd was originally charged with possessing a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia after his vehicle was wrecked in Pittsburgh in July. Boyd has maintained that he was not at the scene of the car and that a friend was driving the car […]

Tyler Eifert Claims He's Healthy

Free-agent tight end Tyler Eifert (back) says he is healthy and ready to head into NFL free agency. Eifert, formerly of the Cincinnati Bengals, had season-ending surgery on his back in Week 2 last year. He has now missed 41 out of 80 potential NFL games in his five NFL seasons. Eifert's health will be a big factor […]

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie May Not Switch Positions

New York Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie may not be moving from corner to free safety in 2018. There were reports last week that the 31-year-old would return for the final year of his deal at a new position, but that has been news to the Giants coaches. He's scheduled to make $6.48 million in 2018 […]

Broncos Exercise Chris Harris' Option

The Denver Broncos exercised cornerback Chris Harris Jr.'s $1.1 million option for the 2018 season, according to a league source. The 28-year-old has developed into one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, and they'll need him to step up even more with Aqib Talib likely to be traded to open up some salary cap […]

Stedman Bailey Trying To Make Comeback

Former St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey, whose football career came to an abrupt end at the time when he was shot twice in the head in 2015, worked out at Marshall's Pro Day recently and is attempting to make a comeback. The 27-year-old is now a free agent and is free to sign […]

Ravens Could Go QB In First Round

While it's highly unlikely, the Baltimore Ravens could decide to take a quarterback at 16th overall in the first round of this year's draft. NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah projected the Ravens taking Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield at No. 16 in his latest mock draft. Joe Flacco is 33 years old, has suffered injuries […]

Jonathan Stewart Visiting Seahawks

Free-agent running back Jonathan Stewart is visiting the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, according to a source. Seattle's ground game was one of the worst in the league in 2017, so they will look at all avenues to improve. However, the declining J-Stew probably isn't the answer after he posted a career-low 3.4 yards per carry […]

Jarvis Landry Signs Franchise Tender

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry signed his $15.982 million franchise tender Thursday, according to a source. The next item of business is for the Dolphins to trade Landry, as they are already over the salary cap with Landry on the books. No trade is imminent, however, and Miami may elect to wait until the […]

Andrew Norwell Expected To Sign With Giants

The belief is that free-agent offensive guard Andrew Norwell is a "done deal" to land with the New York Giants. New Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is familiar with Norwell from his time leading the Panthers and is expected to bring Norwell over to shore up New York's pitiful offensive line. Norwell is one of […]

Broncos Shopping Aqib Talib

Updating a previous report, the Denver Broncos are actively shopping cornerback Aqib Talib, according to a team source. General manager John Elway and 49ers GM John Lynch were engaged about talks for Talib, and both parties were making progress until Talib balked at that potential deal. Talib declined a trade to San Francisco and prefers […]

Patriots Are Aqib Talib's Top Choice

The Denver Broncos have had trade conversations concerning cornerback Aqib Talib with the San Francisco 49ers, but it doesn't look like a deal will get done, according to sources. Talib prefers to be released so that he can choose his next team, and the Patriots are his top choice, according to sources. The Broncos are […]

Dolphins Not Ruling Out Releasing Ndamukong Suh

The Miami Dolphins are not ruling out releasing defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, according to an NFL official who spoke with the team. It isn't likely or unlikely at this point, but the team has it under consideration as they determine if restructuring him or releasing him is the better option. Suh brings with him an […]

Austin Hooper Working To Get Better

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper worked with quarterback Matt Ryan last Friday and is putting in more work earlier in the offseason than ever before. “I'm here [in Atlanta] all offseason to work with him,” Hooper said. “Whenever Matt wants to go out, I told him to just text me.” Expectations were high for […]

Le'Veon Bell Won't Sit Out In 2018

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell said on Instagram on Wednesday that he will not sit out the 2018 season if he can't work out a long-term deal with the team. However, he will sit out all of training camp. "It's just a re-run of last year," Bell said. Bell started off a tad slow […]

Muhammad Wilkerson to Visit Green Bay

Former New York Jet defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is set to visit Green Bay on Wednesday. Wilkerson was officially released by New York on Monday. While his play has still been fairly solid, it did not merit the $16.75 million he would have received next year. Wilkerson looks like he may be interested in reuniting […]
