Raiders Tender Giorgio Tavecchio
The Oakland Raiders placed a one-year, $555,000 tender on exclusive-rights free-agent place kicker Giorgio Tavecchio on Monday, according to a source. He'll be the favorite for the kicking job in 2018, although they could add competition for training camp. In his first season in the NFL, Tavecchio made 16 of his 21 field goal attempts […]
Rams Place Tender On Malcolm Brown
The Los Angeles Rams applied a minimum-salary tender on exclusive-rights free-agent running back Malcolm Brown, and he should be back in training camp trying to make the 53-man roster. Brown will battle to serve as the main backup to Todd Gurley in 2018, but the team could add other options in free agency or the […]
Case Keenum Could Be Option For Jets
Free-agent quarterback Case Keenum could become a candidate for the New York Jets if they lose out on free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins. Re-signing quarterback Josh McCown is another option for Gang Green. Keenum surprised everyone and led the Vikes to the NFC title game in 2017, going 325-for-481 for 3,547 yards, 22 touchdowns and only […]
Chargers To Place Second-Round Tender On Tyrell Williams
The Los Angeles Chargers plan to place a second-round tender on restricted free-agent wide receiver Tyrell Williams, according to a source. He has drawn interest around the league, and he could become a trade candidate if teams aren't willing to part with a second-round pick to add him. Williams had his breakout season in 2016 […]
Bennie Fowler Becomes Free Agent
The Denver Broncos didn't place a tender on restricted free-agent wide receiver Bennie Fowler, according to a source. That will make him an unrestricted free agent. The Broncos could still re-sign him, but Fowler appears to be moving on after struggling with drops. He caught a career-high 29 passes for 350 yards and three touchdowns […]
Broncos Could Target A.J. McCarron
The Denver Broncos could target free-agent quarterback A.J. McCarron if they miss out on free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins. Head coach Vance Joseph is familiar with McCarron from their time together with the Bengals. McCarron would be a major dropoff from Cousins, though, and his presence under center wouldn't be that thrilling for the fantasy values […]
Broncos Listening To Offers For C.J. Anderson
The Denver Broncos are listening to trade offers for running back C.J. Anderson and do not expect to release him at this time. The 27-year-old had the best season of his career in 2017, rushing 245 times for 1,007 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and three touchdowns, so it would make sense that some teams […]
Saints Interested In Jimmy Graham
The New Orleans Saints have strong interest in free-agent tight end Jimmy Graham, and the feeling is mutual. Graham played with the Saints to open his career from 2010 to 2014, and he recorded 1,000 yards receiving in two of those years and posted a career-high 16 touchdowns with quarterback Drew Brees in 2013. While […]
Marco Gonzales Receives Good News
Updating a previous report, Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (thumb), who left his spring start Monday night after taking a line drive to to the base of his left thumb, said initial scans showed no broken bones. "We don't know the full extent of it, but I don't think there are any breaks," Gonzales […]
Marco Gonzales Hit By Line Drive
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (arm) was hit by a line drive in his right arm/hand in his spring outing on Monday and exited the game. Gonzales was traded over from the Cardinals in July of last season and made eight starts for the Mariners after coming back from Tommy John surgery. He predictably […]
Felix Hernandez Hopes To Throw Bullpen Tuesday
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (forearm) is hoping to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. Hernandez is progressing after taking a line drive to his forearm, but he'll need to make a few spring starts before the team feels comfortable allowing him to pitch in the opening series of the season against the Indians. […]
Nelson Cruz Scratched For Third Straight Day
Seattle Mariners outfielder/designated hitter Nelson Cruz (illness) was scratched from the spring lineup for the third straight day, although he did take batting practice before the game. Cruz will be fine and has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day. Despite aging, Cruz should once again threaten to put up 30 home runs […]
Dolphins To Release Ndamukong Suh
The plan is for the Miami Dolphins to release defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh as early as Monday. The Dolphins are attempting to make a culture change moving into 2018, as they also traded top receiver Jarvis Landry to the Browns last week. Releasing Suh was mainly about opening up a lot of salary cap space, […]
Redskins Re-Sign Dustin Hopkins
The Washington Redskins re-signed place kicker Dustin Hopkins on Monday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The 27-year-old has spent the last three years in D.C. but missed eight games last season with a hip ailment. When healthy in 2017, he made 14 of 17 field goal attempts and all but one of his […]
Jets Not Budging From Offer To Austin Seferian-Jenkins
The New York Jets haven't budged on their two-year, $8 million offer to tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, a deal that was put on the table before the season ended. There remains interest on both sides to get a deal done, but it's looking more likely that Seferian-Jenkins will hit the open market. ASF is already […]
Bills A Team To Watch For Sam Bradford, Case Keenum
The Minnesota Vikings continue to stay in touch with free-agent quarterback Sam Bradford (knee), but the Buffalo Bills are one team to watch if he can pass a physical. The Bills would be a good scheme fit for Bradford and are interested, according to sources. Free-agent QB Case Keenum could also be an option for […]
Kirk Cousins To Receive Rich Offers
Sources are saying that at least two teams are willing to offer free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins a three-year, fully-guaranteed deal if that's what it takes. At least one other team will do a similar deal that is almost fully guaranteed. Cousins will almost certainly become the highest paid quarterback in the NFL this offseason, with […]
Cardinals Expected To Release Adrian Peterson
The Arizona Cardinals are expected to release running back Adrian Peterson on Monday, according to a source. He has a $750,000 bonus due on the third day of the league year on Friday, and Arizona is looking to save money. According to a source, the Cardinals could re-sign Peterson, however. Peterson did next to nothing […]
Zach Davies Throws Without Issue Monday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (oblique) pitched three innings in an intrasquad game on Monday without issues, and his oblique issue appears to be behind him. That's assuming he has no setbacks from here on out before Opening Day. The right-hander was impressive with a 17-9 record, 3.90 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 5.8 K/9 […]
Yovani Gallardo Moving To Relief Role
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo will move to a relief role, beginning with his next spring outing. The veteran right-hander posted a career-worst 5.72 ERA while posting a 1.52 WHIP and 6.5 K/9 in 28 games (22 starts) for Seattle last year, and he's become useless to fantasy owners, especially in a relief role. […]
Stephen Vogt Suffers Setback While Throwing
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) suffered a setback while attempting his throwing program on Monday. He'll visit with a doctor before the team determines the next step, but at this point, it looks unlikely that he'll be ready for Opening Day. Vogt was battling Jett Bandy for backup catcher duties to Manny Pina this […]
Chase Anderson To Start On Opening Day
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson will start on Opening Day against the Padres, with Jhoulys Chacin starting one of the other days against San Diego, according to manager Craig Counsell. Zach Davies' (oblique) first assignment is undetermined, and he'll test his oblique in a camp game Monday. Anderson had a breakout year for Milwaukee […]
Trumaine Johnson Won't Return To Rams
Los Angeles Rams impending free-agent cornerback Trumaine Johnson confirmed on his Instagram account that he won't be re-signing with the Rams and will hit the open market this year. The writing was on the wall when the team traded for cornerback Marcus Peters, and it became official when they also traded for Aqib Talib. The […]
Chargers Signing Casey Hayward To Extension
The Los Angeles Chargers are signing cornerback Casey Hayward to a three-year extension worth $36 million, according to a source. Hayward will receive $20 million fully guaranteed when he officially signs the deal. This extension is justified, as Hayward has become an All Pro each of the last two seasons with the Bolts, and he's […]
Two Teams Interested In Austin Seferian-Jenkins
The Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons are very interested in free-agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, although the New York Jets would like to re-sign him. ASF cleaned up his off-field issues in 2017 with the Jets and caught a career-high 50 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games with Gang Green. The […]
Dion Lewis Won't Lack For Suitors
Free-agent running back Dion Lewis will be quite attractive to plenty of teams in free agency because of his ability to be effective in space and because of his power between the tackles. The Patriots will fight to retain him, but the expectation is he'll be too expensive to retain. The Jets, Titans, Colts, Buccaneers, […]
Plenty Of Interest In Allen Robinson
Free-agent wide receiver Allen Robinson already has plenty of interest in his services, including the 49ers, Bears, Browns, Ravens, Panthers and Jaguars. The Bears and Browns have plenty of salary cap space, while the Ravens, Panthers and Jaguars have cap constraints. Robinson will be at the top of the receiver market. He missed last year […]
Broncos Expected To Pick Up Demaryius Thomas' Option
The Denver Broncos are expected to officially pick up wide receiver Demaryius Thomas' $4 million option in the next day or so before the deadline to do so on Wednesday. Picking up the option will trigger the final two years in his contract. Despite failing to reach 1,000 yards for the first time since 2011, […]
Cardinals To Target Kirk Cousins, Andrew Norwell
The Arizona Cardinals will target free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins and offensive guard Andrew Norwell in free agency. With quarterback Carson Palmer retiring, it's no secret that the Cardinals are looking for a quarterback this year, and offensive line is a another big priority. However, Cousins is expected to land with the Vikings, Broncos or Jets, […]
Robinson Cano To Undergo MRI
Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano (hamstring) will undergo a precautionary MRI exam on Monday, but he doesn't think his hamstring injury is serious. While Cano may not miss more than a few days in camp, it's a reminder that at age 35, he's no longer a lock to stay healthy over a full season. […]
