Ichiro Suzuki Pulled With Tight Calf
Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki (calf) was pulled early from the Cactus League game on Wednesday with a tight right calf. As if you needed another reason to dislike Suzuki as he enters his age-44 season, he's unlikely to hold up to regular playing time as he returns to his former team. There is a […]
Buccaneers Signing Chandler Catanzaro
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing free-agent place kicker Chandler Catanzaro to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to a source. The Bucs had no consistency from the kicking position in 2017 and were still feeling the effects of drafting kicker Roberto Aguayo way too early several years ago. Catanzaro hit 25 of his 30 […]
Mike Davis, Thomas Rawls Hit Open Market, J.D. McKissic Given Tender
The Seattle Seahawks did not tender running backs Mike Davis and Thomas Rawls, making them unrestricted free agents. However, they did give a qualifying offer to exclusive-rights free-agent running back J.D. McKissic. Rawls had plenty of potential in Seattle, but he was never the same after he suffered a broken ankle late in the 2015 […]
Seahawks Keeping Dion Jordan
The Seattle Seahawks placed an original-round tender on restricted free-agent defensive end Dion Jordan on Wednesday, meaning he'll receive a salary of $1.907 million in 2018. Seattle can match any offer another team signs Jordan to or receive a first-round pick as compensation. Jordan was the third overall pick by Miami in 2013 and missed […]
Brandon Coleman Becomes Free Agent
The New Orleans Saints didn't tender an offer to wide receiver Brandon Coleman, making him an unrestricted free agent. He's now free to sign with any team, although his market won't be all that robust after he had just 23 receptions for 364 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games last season. Coleman hasn't caught […]
Jets Place Second-Round Tender On Quincy Enunwa
The New York Jets placed a second-round tender on restricted free-agent wide receiver Quincy Enunway on Wednesday worth $2.914 million. A former sixth-rounder, Enunwa had 58 catches for 857 yards and four touchdowns last season and could generate interest on the open market after his solid season. If he returns to the Jets, he could […]
Zack Wheeler Could Be Ticketed For Relief Role
The New York Mets are intrigued by the idea of using starting pitcher Zack Wheeler out of the bullpen, but they have not wanted to use starter Steven Matz in that role. As expected, Wheeler was highly inconsistent in 17 starts for the Mets last season after coming off two lost seasons due to Tommy […]
Chargers Signing Virgil Green
The Los Angeles Chargers are signing free-agent tight end Virgil Green on Wednesday, according to a source. Always somewhat of a sleeper tight end for Denver, he never lived up to they hype and had only 14 receptions for 191 yards and one touchdown in 2017. He recorded one touchdown each of the last four […]
Ryan Tannehill Restructures Contract
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill restructured his contract in order to give the team more salary cap space this year, according to a source. He will receive more money up front. Tannehill will return as the starter in 2018 after missing all of last year with a knee injury. He had the best completion percentage […]
Ndamukong Suh Officially Released
The Miami Dolphins are officially releasing defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh after a trade never materialized, according to a source. Taking Suh off the books will free up a ton of money against the salary cap in 2018. Despite his release, the 31-year-old remains one of the best run-stopping defensive lineman in the game, and he […]
Dolphins Officially Releasing Julius Thomas
The Miami Dolphins are officially releasing tight end Julius Thomas on Wednesday, according to a league source. Thomas failed to impress in his lone season with the Fish in 2017, catching 41 passes for 388 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. Since back-to-back 12 touchdown campaigns with Denver in 2013-14, Thomas has done very […]
Patriots Retain Rex Burkhead
The New England Patriots agreed to an undisclosed multi-year extension with running back Rex Burkhead on Wednesday, according to a league source. Burkhead had more than 500 yards from scrimmage with eight touchdowns last year in his first season with New England. He should be lined up for even more work in the backfield in […]
Andrew Romine May Not Be Out Long
Seattle Mariners infielder Andrew Romine (shoulder) is dealing with a shoulder subluxation but will rest for now, and he doesn't think it'll keep him out for long. Romine should be good to go for the start of the regular season as he competes for a utility role on the team's bench. He hit just .233 […]
Bears Expected To Sign Chase Daniel
The Chicago Bears are expected to sign free-agent quarterback Chase Daniel to a two-year, $10 million deal, according to a source. The deal will contain $7 million in guarantees and is voidable after one year. Daniel has history with new head coach Matt Nagy from their time in Kansas City, so this makes sense. Daniel […]
Nelson Cruz Has Grade 1 Strain
Seattle Mariners outfielder Nelson Cruz (quadriceps) said he has a Grade 1 quadriceps strain. He will rest for a few days but said the injury isn't a big deal. The Mariners will surely be cautious with their big slugger, but it sounds like Cruz could be ready for Opening Day if he doesn't suffer any […]
Jaguars Signing Niles Paul
The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing free-agent tight end Niles Paul, according to a source. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Paul had just 13 receptions for 94 yards and no touchdowns in 2017 with Washington, and he's notched just two touchdowns in his six seasons in the NFL to this point. On a run-first squad […]
Redskins Re-Sign Brian Quick
The Washington Redskins re-signed wide receiver Brian Quick on Wednesday. The details of the contract were not disclosed. With Ryan Grant heading to the Jaguars and free-agent receiver Terrelle Pryor expected to move on, Quick could have a bigger role in 2018 with quarterback Alex Smith at the helm. However, Quick caught just six passes […]
Marco Gonzales Plans To Start Saturday
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (hand) is planning on starting in another spring game this Saturday, and he will attempt to put a glove on his right hand while he plays catch Wednesday. Gonzales was hit by a line drive in his last start on Monday, but he didn't suffer any breaks. Barring any […]
Demario Davis Expected To Sign With Saints
Free-agent linebacker Demario Davis is expected to sign a three-year, $24 million deal with the New Orleans Saints, according to a source. The deal is expected to have $18 million guaranteed. Davis had a combined 135 tackles in 2017 with the Jets and figures to be a three-down linebacker with his new squad. New Orleans […]
Seahawks To Visit With Ed Dickson
The Seattle Seahawks are set to visit with free-agent tight end Ed Dickson, according to a source. With Jimmy Graham leaving for the Packers and Luke Willson also a free agent, the Seahawks are desperate for tight end help. Dickson had a decent season for Carolina in 2017, filling in for a large chunk of […]
Bills Signing Trent Murphy
The Buffalo Bills are signing free-agent pass-rusher Trent Murphy to a three-year, $21 million deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Murphy missed all of last year with two torn ligaments in his knee and also served a four-game performance-enhancing drug suspension, but he's just one year removed from a nine-sack season with Washington. He […]
Patrick Robinson Expected To Sign With Saints
Free-agent cornerback Patrick Robinson is expected to sign a four-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday. Robinson was the 32nd overall pick in the first round by the Saints in 2010, and he was a disappointment in his five seasons with them, but he's returning and has a chance to flip the script […]
Magneuris Sierra Has Tight Hamstring
Updating a previous report, Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra (hamstring) was diagnosed with a tight left hamstring after leaving the Grapefruit League game early on Wednesday. While this could hurt his chances of being ready for the start of the season, Sierra wasn't expected to begin on the major league roster anyway, and he's likely […]
Magneuris Sierra Removed From Game
Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra (leg) was removed from the spring game early Wednesday after pulling up lame while running out a ground ball. Sierra needs plenty of seasoning in the minors with his new team, but hopefully this injury doesn't set him back from a developmental standpoint. Speed and contact is Sierra's game, but […]
Stephen Vogt Still Dealing With Shoulder Strain
After a second opinion, it was confirmed that Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) continues to deal with a strain in his right shoulder capsule. Manager Craig Counsell said, "I don't think Opening Day is likely." Vogt was battling for backup duties with catcher Jett Bandy, with Manny Pina set to open the season as […]
Ravens Releasing Jeremy Maclin
The Baltimore Ravens are releasing wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on Wednesday, according to a source. The 29-year-old Maclin was a major free-agent bust for the Ravens in 2017, posting only 40 receptions for 440 yards (career-low 11.0 yards per catch) and three touchdowns in 12 games. His release makes more sense after the team recently […]
Austin Seferian-Jenkins To Meet With Seahawks
Free-agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins plans to visit with the Seattle Seahawks. The big tight end is from Washington and played his college ball at the University of Washington, so the Seahawks may be considered the favorites for his services, although the Jets are interested in re-signing him and the Falcons are also in the […]
Sebastian Janikowski To Visit With Chargers
Free-agent place kicker Sebastian Janikowski is expected to visit with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a source. The big-legged veteran kicker missed all of the 2017 season due to injury, and the Raiders have moved on after 17 seasons. He remained mostly effective in 2016, however, making 29 of his 35 field goal attempts, […]
Jordy Nelson To Visit Seahawks, Saints
Free-agent wide receiver Jordy Nelson is in demand. He is visiting with the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday and is then scheduled to meet with the Seattle Seahawks and then the New Orleans Saints, according to a source. It's not a surprise that he's generating a ton of interest, as Nelson was one of the best […]
Dolphins Restructure Reshad Jones
The Miami Dolphins restructured the contract of safety Reshad Jones on Wednesday, creating $6.6 million in salary cap space, according to a source. He drops his base salary from $9.375 million to $970,000 while also receiving a $4.05 million signing bonus. Jones will collect the same amount of money when all is said and done. […]
