Raiders Deal With Eli Apple Falls Apart

The Las Vegas Raiders and cornerback Eli Apple were unable to finalize a contract, according to sources. Apple will remain a free agent and will go back on the open market. The former 10th overall pick by the Giants in the 2016 draft hasn't lived up to his draft pedigree in his four years in […]

Patriots Unlikely To Trade Julian Edelman

According to a source, there's "not a chance in hell" that the New England Patriots trade wide receiver Julian Edelman. Edelman does carry a salary cap hit of $9.6 million in 2020, but he's too important to the team's passing game, especially given their lack of depth and with quarterback Tom Brady no longer in […]

Jets Interested In Jadeveon Clowney

The New York Jets are interested in free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney now that his asking price has dropped a bit on the open market. Clowney has found a cold market for his services, likely because of the lack of physicals due to the coronavirus and his extensive injury history, but at this point he's […]

Laremy Tunsil Wants To Be Highest-Paid Offensive Lineman

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil said on NFL Live that he wants to become the league's highest-paid offensive lineman.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) said he's still not fully recovered from an ankle injury that held him to just 11 games in 2019.

Jack Conklin Will Stay At Right Tackle

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that offensive tackle Jack Conklin will stay at right tackle in Cleveland.

Buccaneers Re-Sign Blaine Gabbert

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers re-signed quarterback Blaine Gabbert to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Gabbert will serve as the backup to Tom Brady in 2020.

Mid-Round Outfielders - Targets and Avoids in 2020

Once you reach the middle-to-late rounds of drafts, it would be smart to consider drafting some upside fliers that can provide a great return on value. You can take a risk or two on a variety of different players, including a prospect, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even players with skills but have […]

A.J. Hinch, Jeff Luhnow Suspensions Won't Leak Into 2021

Former Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow will fulfill their one-season suspensions for the team's sign-stealing scandal even if no baseball is played in 2020 due to the coronavirus, according to sources. Hinch and Luhnow were banned for a year and fired in January after MLB investigated the Astros using cameras […]

2020 XFL Running Back Comps From The NFL

XFL football is gone for the 2020 season. In order to get you ready for next season, I have taken on the task of finding some comps for XFL players now that both leagues are over. As you know, the XFL had to close shop after just five weeks, so I'll be doing something not-so-scientific […]

ADP Champ or Chump: Cavan Biggio and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

The Toronto Blue Jays are an intriguing team. Projections don't love them, but their lineup is filled with young guys who have the potential to exceed them. Their rotation also looks solid if healthy, something that may be more likely now that a full workload will be more like 120 IP than 200. Needless to […]

Deeper Second Base Sleepers for 2020

The position of second base is not as deep in 2020 as it has been in previous seasons. There are some studs at the top such as Gleyber Torres and Ozzie Albies, but then there are several guys with question marks from the middle on. Finding a sleeper at the position may prove to be […]

The Seattle Seahawks signed former Raiders defensive end Benson Mayowa to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to his agent, David Canter.

Mike Pouncey Not Medically Cleared

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he doesn't think that center Mike Pouncey (neck) has "been medically cleared to play football."

Tyrod Taylor In Driver's Seat

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that quarterback Tyrod Taylor is "in the driver's seat" for the starting QB gig in 2020, "but nothing is finalized."

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) said on Wednesday that his surgically repaired hip is fully healed and that he could play in a game at full strength right now.

Kessler didn't see any game action last season with the Pats, and he has played in only 17 games (12 starts) since being taken in […]

Saints Will Continue To Have Three QBs Active On Game Day

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that the uniqueness of quarterback Taysom Hill's role requires the team to have a third quarterback active on game days, and that won't change in 2020 with Teddy Bridgewater now in Carolina. The Saints are likely to look for the best quarterback (rookie or a veteran) that […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Would Have Won Starting Job

New York Yankees pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga would have been the team’s primary fifth starter had the season begun on time, according to pitching coach Matt Blake. Injuries and a Domingo German suspension left the Yankees with holes in their starting rotation, and a strong spring from Loaisiga had him in line to win a job […]
