Dallas Keuchel To Make Spring Debut March 5
Houston Astros starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel (foot) will make his spring training debut March 5, and he's scheduled to make five starts in camp. Keuchel dealt with some foot problems late last year and into the postseason, but he didn't miss any starts on the way to a World Series championship, and he should be […]

Jonathan Schoop Expects To Play Saturday Night
Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop (elbow) is feeling much better and expects to play in the spring training game Saturday night. Schoop was held out Friday with his minor injury, but barring any setbacks, there should be nothing to worry about. After posting a breakout season in 2017 (.293, 32 homers, 105 RBI), Schoop […]

Brandon Bolden Signs One-Year Extension
The New England Patriots signed running back Brandon Bolden to a one-year, $880,000 extension through the 2018 season on Saturday, according to a source. The deal includes $170,000 in guarantees. Even with the possibility that the Patriots don't bring impending free-agent running back Dion Lewis back, Bolden is unlikely to have a big enough role […]

Jaguars Extend Tom Coughlin, Dave Caldwell, Doug Marrone
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed executive vice president Tom Coughlin, general manager Dave Caldwell and head coach Doug Marrone to two-year contract extensions through the 2021 season. They all deserve it after helping guide the team to their first AFC title game since 1999. With a strong defense leading the charge and a promising young running […]

Vontae Davis Visiting With Dolphins
Free-agent cornerback Vontae Davis is visiting with the Miami Dolphins on Friday, according to a source. Davis may be close to making a decision after already visiting with at least four other teams in the last couple of weeks. While he has declined a bit from his All-Pro season in 2015, Davis can still provide […]

Rams May Franchise Tag Lamarcus Joyner
The Los Angeles Rams may weigh using the franchise tag on safety Lamarcus Joyner over wide receiver Sammy Watkins. In 12 games in 2017, Joyner accumulated 39 total tackles, and a career-high three interceptions. It would make sense considering it looks like the Rams are getting set to let cornerback Trumaine Johnson, who they franchise […]

Rams Expected To Trade For Marcus Peters
The Los Angeles Rams are expected to trade for Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters, according to sources. Both teams are in the final stages of trade talks, and the trade is expected to be agreed to as early as Friday. Peters, who is considered a top-10 corner in the NFL, had 42 total tackles, […]

Nick Novak Fully Recovered
Los Angeles Chargers place kicker Nick Novak (hip) has made a full recovery from a strained hip and plans to play in 2018. He will become a free agent, but the Chargers haven't closed the door on re-signing him. In seven games for the Bolts last year before getting injured, Novak made only nine of […]

Luiz Gohara Has Groin Tightness
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Luiz Gohara (groin) is being slowed in camp by groin tightness. He's competing for one of the open starting rotation spots this spring and has been widely considered a favorite after striking out 25 hitters while walking just four in 25 1/3 innings in his last five starts in September. The […]

Jarvis Landry Expected To Be Traded
According to the Miami Herald's Adam H. Beasley, it would be a stunner if the Miami Dolphins don't trade wide receiver Jarvis Landry in the coming weeks after they placed the $16 million franchise tag on him. There's the possibility that they will sign him to a long-term deal, but it's hard to see either […]

Martellus Bennett Wants To Keep Playing
New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett has decided that he wants to continue playing despite contemplating retirement in 2017, according to sources. Bennett is due a $2 million roster bonus March 14, so the Patriots must make a decision. He'll carry a modest $6.2 million salary cap hit. After surprising for New England in […]

Panthers May Overhaul Wide Receiver Room
The Carolina Panthers may overhaul their wide receiver corps this offseason outside of Devin Funchess, Curtis Samuel and Damiere Byrd. Funchess was the highest rated receiver on the team, although he wasn't ever really a true No. 1 after the team traded Kelvin Benjamin to the Bills midseason. Russell Shepard was a good presence in […]

Jaguars Release Chris Ivory
The Jacksonville Jaguars released veteran running back Chris Ivory on Friday, which will save them $3.75 million against the salary cap. Ivory played very little behind promising rookie Leonard Fournette last season and didn't even play in the final two regular season games as a healthy scratch. Ivory had just 821 yards and four touchdowns […]

Emmanuel Sanders Making Progress In Rehab
Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) said he is making progress in his rehab for his ankle injury. "It's going well, my ankle is recovering. It got damaged on a tackle and it lingered. Right now, I feel like I'm 95 percent," Sanders said. It's good news, and Sanders should be ready to roll […]

Jameis Winston Involved In Car Accident
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was uninjured in a car accident last week in which he was cited for careless driving. The crash damaged both vehicles -- the citation listed $4,000 in total property damage, while the crash report listed $2,000 in damages to each car. Winston faces a $153 fine and no punishment […]

Lamar Jackson Compared To Kordell Stewart
Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson has been a hard study for NFL teams as the draft approaches, and two high-ranking scouts have compared him to former NFL QB and wide receiver Kordell Stewart. It's obviously not a great comparison, as Stewart played two seasons at wideout before being converted to quarterback. One thing that isn't under […]

Nick Novak To Become Free Agent
Los Angeles Chargers place kicker Nick Novak will become a free agent, but the team has informed him that they are interested in re-signing him. Novak made nine of his 13 field goal attempts with the Bolts last year before landing on Injured Reserve. The 36-year-old would be a low-end fantasy kicking option, at best, […]

Dolphins Could Trade Or Cut Ndamukong Suh
The Miami Dolphins could trade defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh and save $3.9 million in salary cap space or designate him as a post-June 1 cut and save $17 million in salary cap space. Suh will count a whopping $26.1 million on the cap this year, which is the most of any defensive player in the […]

Dolphins Will Cut Julius Thomas
The Miami Dolphins plan to cut tight end Julius Thomas by March 14, which will save $6.6 million in salary cap space. The team will also cut linebacker Lawrence Timmons by March 14, saving them $5.4 million. With all of their expected cuts, they are expected to be around $11 million under the salary cap […]

Bills Aren't Planning On Cutting Tyrod Taylor
The Buffalo Bills aren't planning on releasing quarterback Tyrod Taylor, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport. "At this point, it doesn't seem like they're going to cut him without knowing who his replacement will be," Rapoport said. "The Bills are OK with paying a $6 million roster bonus to keep him on the roster." […]

Four Teams Interested In Tim Lincecum
The Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers "are believed to have interest" in free-agent starting pitcher Tim Lincecum. It makes sense that all of these teams are on the West Coast, as Lincecum has pitched for the Giants and Angels in his career and is from Washington. Although he […]

Tigers Sign Francisco Liriano
The Detroit Tigers are signing free-agent pitcher Francisco Liriano to a one-year, $4 million deal. The contract also includes $1 million in incentives. Liriano is expected to join the rebuilding team's starting rotation, where he'll surely have much more fantasy appeal, but even then, it will be minimal after he posted a 5.66 ERA, 1.63 […]

Jose Pirela Seeing Reps At Second Base
San Diego Padres outfielder Jose Pirela is taking repetitions at second base in camp, and he's likely to see a lot of time there in spring training. Unless the Friars trade outfielder Hunter Renfroe before the season starts, Pirela's fantasy upside may be limited if he shares time with Renfroe in left field. However, if […]

Braves Have Talked About Mike Moustakas
The Atlanta Braves have talked about free-agent third baseman Mike Moustakas, but so far there is no common ground between the two sides. Despite hitting a career-high 38 homers in 2017, Moose's free-agent market has been quiet this winter, and he's still holding out for a long-term deal. Atlanta wouldn't be the best fit for […]

Panthers Could Place Tag On Graham Gano
The Carolina Panthers are more likely to put the franchise tag on place kicker Graham Gano than offensive guard Andrew Norwell. Gano has been the team's kicker for the last six seasons, and he made 29 of his 30 field goal attempts in 2017, including 10 of 10 from 40 to 49 yards out. However, […]

Extension Could Be Coming For Taylor Lewan
Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan is entering the final year of his deal and will play on a fifth-year option worth $9.34 million if a long-term deal isn't reached. Former NFL agent Joel Corry said the Titans "may have to set the market at offensive tackle" with a long-term deal for Lewan, who is […]

Matt Bryant Expects To Re-Sign
Atlanta Falcons impending unrestricted free-agent place kicker Matt Bryant, who made $2.75 million last season, told his agent, Jordon Woy, that he's already had multiple contract talks with the Falcons. Atlanta wants Bryant back, and the feeling is mutual on his part. Bryant will turn 43 in May, but he made 88.1 percent of his […]
