Dolphins Hosting Baker Mayfield For Private Workout
The Miami Dolphins are conducting a private workout with University of Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield on Wednesday, according to a source. It's no secret that the Dolphins are considering a quarterback with their first-round pick despite having Ryan Tannehill entrenched as the 2018 starter. The problem is the Dolphins have the 11th overall pick, and […]
Willie Snead Visiting With Ravens
New Orleans Saints restricted free-agent wide receiver Willie Snead is visiting with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday, according to a source. Baltimore is seriously trying to upgrade their receiving corps after they struggled big time in 2017. They have already added Michael Crabtree and John Brown, so Snead would be battling for playing time with […]
Marshawn Lynch Restructures Contract
Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch restructured his contract last Saturday before his $1 million roster bonus was due. His base salary in 2018 is now $5.5 million -- $500,000 less than before -- but he's guaranteed $4.5 million of it and can earn up to $9.25 million with incentives. Beast Mode was one of […]
JT Riddle Scratched Wednesday
Miami Marlins shortstop JT Riddle (shoulder) was scratched from the Grapefruit League lineup on Wednesday with some soreness in his surgically repaired shoulder. It doesn't seem to be anything serious, but Riddle is no lock to be ready for Opening Day, as he has yet to play in a major league spring game after having […]
Yuli Gurriel Worked Out Tuesday
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (hand) fielded grounders, ran the bases and did light hitting on the field on Tuesday. It's good progress for the Cuban, but he's still expected to be sidelined until around mid-April. He could come slightly cheaper in drafts as a result, and he showed fine contact and hard-hit rates […]
Bills Visit With Karlos Dansby
The Buffalo Bills hosted free-agent linebacker Karlos Dansby on a visit, according to a source. Dansby will be entering his 15th season in 2018, but he's recorded at least 100 tackles in seven of his last 10 seasons and had 95 tackles, one sack, one fumble recovery and one interception in 2017, showing that he […]
Ndamukong Suh Intrigued By Rams
Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said he is intrigued by the Los Angeles Rams and the potential for playing alongside Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme has similar gap responsibilities as a 4-3 defense. Suh is the best run-stopping defensive lineman on the open market and would make the Rams […]
Ndamukong Suh Scheduled To Visit Raiders
Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is scheduled to visit the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday, according to a source. Suh is easily the best defensive lineman left on the market, and he is an elite run stopper that routinely clogs up running lanes with his big body. Pairing with Khalil Mack in Oakland would make the […]
Richard Sherman Should Be Ready For Training Camp
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (Achilles) said he'll be back on the football field by May or June. That means Sherman should be totally fine for training camp this summer, unless he suffers a setback. Despite injuries and declining age, Sherman can still be one of the best cover cornerbacks in the NFL when […]
Matthew Slater Returns To Patriots
The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Matthew Slater to a two-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Slater is a special teams ace and doesn't have a single catch since 2011. He can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.
Blaine Gabbert Visits With Titans
Free-agent quarterback Blaine Gabbert visited with the Tennessee Titans, according to a source. Gabbert played in five games for the Cardinals in 2017, completing 55.6 percent of his 171 attempts for 1,086 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions. The former first-round pick isn't the worst backup option in the league. He'd be holding the clipboard […]
Saints, Other Teams Interested In Allen Hurns
Free-agent wide receiver Allen Hurns is receiving plenty of interest on the open market after being released by the Jaguars on Tuesday. The New Orleans Saints are among a long list of teams to express interest in him. "Right now, the teams have reached out, it's probably like 10 teams: the Bears, the Bills, Saints, […]
Allen Hurns To Visit With Jets
Free-agent wide receiver Allen Hurns has a visit with the New York Jets this week, according to a source. Hurns had a breakout in 2015 with 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns, but he fell back to earth the last two years, mainly due to injuries. Hurns would be an upgrade for the Jets offense behind […]
Vikings Re-Signing Kai Forbath
The Minnesota Vikings are re-signing place kicker Kai Forbath to an undisclosed deal Tuesday, according to a source. He made a career-high 32 of his 38 field goal attempts (84.2 percent) for the Vikings last year, including a career-high six of nine from 50-plus yards. Forbath is an 85.9 percent kicker in his seven years […]
Jaguars Release Marcedes Lewis
The Jacksonville Jaguars released tight end Marcedes Lewis on Tuesday, according to a source. Lewis was typically a fantasy afterthought in Jacksonville. He had 24 receptions for 318 yards and five scores last season, but three of those touchdowns came in one game. Lewis is unlikely to latch on with a team that makes him […]
Dan Straily To Be Shut Down 4-5 Days
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Dan Straily (forearm) is dealing with tightness in his right forearm and will not throw for four to five days. The injury isn't believed to be serious, but it puts his availability for the first series of the regular season in jeopardy. Straily was the ace of the staff in 2017, […]
Eric Decker To Visit With Raiders
Updating an ongoing story, free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker will visit with the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday, according to sources. It was initially reported that Decker was flying to visit the Saints, but that turned out to be incorrect. Decker was a disappointment with the Titans in 2017 and had a career-low 10.4 yards per […]
Redskins Expected To Draft Running Back Early
The Washington Redskins are expected to look at drafting a running back in the early rounds. "That's a good possibility, yes," head coach Jay Gruden said. Unless they trade up in the first round, Washington is unlikely to land Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, but the team could also look to add a back […]
Eric Decker Not Visiting With Saints
Updating a previous report, sources say that free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker is not scheduled to visit with the New Orleans Saints. Decker is likely visiting someone, so we'll just have to wait and see. The veteran wideout can play in the slot or on the outside and has traditionally been a great red-zone weapon […]
Eric Decker Visiting Saints
Free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker is visiting with the New Orleans Saints, according to a source. While Decker's best days are likely in the past, he could be a nice depth signing behind Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn. Decker had 54 catches for 563 yards (career-low 10.4 yards per catch) and only one touchdown in […]
Jaguars Release Allen Hurns
The Jacksonville Jaguars released wide receiver Allen Hurns on Tuesday, according to a source. He's expected to have a strong market. Hurns is a very capable receiver in the NFL, but he also missed 11 games combined the last two seasons. He finished with 39 receptions for 484 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games […]
Marlins Send Sandy Alcantara, Braxton Lee To Minors
The Miami Marlins sent top pitching prospect Sandy Alcantara and outfielder Braxton Lee to minor league camp on Tuesday. Alcantara, who came over from the Cardinals in the trade involving Marcell Ozuna, will report to Triple-A. Alcantara impressed in camp and could join the Marlins rotation sooner than later, according to manager Don Mattingly. The […]
J.A. Happ Officially Named Opening Day Starter
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher J.A. Happ has been officially named the team's Opening Day starter, according to manager John Gibbons. Happ will be followed in the rotation by Aaron Sanchez, Marco Estrada, Marcus Stroman and Jaime Garcia. The veteran left-handed had a pretty solid season in 2017, with a 3.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and […]
Mike Pouncey Expected To Sign With Chargers
Free-agent center Mike Pouncey is expected to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to sources. Pouncey struggled last year mainly due to injuries in his final season with the Dolphins, but he'll bring a veteran presence to an offensive line that could be vastly improved in 2018. The 28-year-old Pouncey was the 15th overall […]
Charles Johnson Visits With Jets
Free-agent wide receiver Charles Johnson has made a visit with the New York Jets. Johnson didn't play in 2017 due to a knee injury and quickly fell off the map after catching 31 passes for 475 yards and two scores in his rookie season with the Vikings. It just shows you how desperate the Jets […]
Damien Williams To Visit With Chiefs
Free-agent running back Damien Williams will visit with the Kansas City Chiefs this week. With impressive youngster Kareem Hunt entrenched as the lead back in KC, Williams would strictly be vying for scraps with Spencer Ware if he lands with the Chiefs. In his four years with Miami, Williams had 133 carries for 477 yards […]
Josh Johnson Signs With Raiders
Free-agent quarterback Josh Johnson signed with the Oakland Raiders on Monday. Johnson returns to the town he grew up in and reunites with head coach Jon Gruden, who drafted Johnson with the Buccaneers back in 2008. Johnson will also reunite with his cousin, running back Marshawn Lynch. Johnson will vie for the backup quarterback role […]
Astros Option A.J. Reed
The Houston Astros optioned first baseman A.J. Reed to minor league camp on Monday. Reed had a slash line of .298/.365/.511 and an OPS of .876 in 52 Grapefruit League at-bats, which is great, but it just speaks to how stacked the team's current roster is. Reed arrived to camp 25 pounds lighter after an […]
Marlins Experimenting With Lewis Brinson In Leadoff Spot
Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly is experimenting with hitting outfielder Lewis Brinson in the leadoff spot this spring, and the outfielder is scheduled to hit first for the second time in camp on Tuesday. After trading Dee Gordon to Seattle over the winter, the Fish have no true leadoff hitter on the current roster. Mattingly […]
Justin Turner Suffers Broken Wrist
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (wrist) suffered a non-displaced left wrist fracture after being hit by a pitch in the Cactus League game Monday night. There is no timetable for his injury, but expecting him to miss at least around two months would be a fair bet. Turner has come on strong late in […]
