Clint Frazier Taking Things Slowly

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (concussion), who has had two MRI exams and a CT scan on his head, did 20 minutes on a bike, threw and did rotational exercises on Thursday. “It’s frustrating, but I’m trying not to mess around with this," Frazier said. He suffered a serious concussion after running into the […]

Stephen Vogt Works Out Pain-Free

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) did some plyometric throwing drills Thursday and didn't have any pain. Vogt dealt with some shoulder soreness early in camp, but as long as he doesn't have any setbacks from here on out, he should be ready for Opening Day. However, he's not a lock for the final roster, […]

Zach Davies Not Concerned With Injury

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies isn't concerned about his oblique injury and said he's "feeling really good." He will test it with a throwing program Thursday and will then throw a bullpen session Friday.

Michael Conforto Takes BP Thursday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) took full batting practice on the field Thursday and also shagged fly balls in center field, where he was seen sprinting around. He continues to progress from shoulder surgery and is targeting a May 1 return. Conforto seems to be way ahead of schedule from a serious shoulder […]

Andrew Norwell Expected To Sign With Giants

The belief is that free-agent offensive guard Andrew Norwell is a "done deal" to land with the New York Giants. New Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is familiar with Norwell from his time leading the Panthers and is expected to bring Norwell over to shore up New York's pitiful offensive line. Norwell is one of […]

Updating a previous report, the Denver Broncos are actively shopping cornerback Aqib Talib, according to a team source.

Dolphins Not Ruling Out Releasing Ndamukong Suh

The Miami Dolphins are not ruling out releasing defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, according to an NFL official who spoke with the team. It isn't likely or unlikely at this point, but the team has it under consideration as they determine if restructuring him or releasing him is the better option. Suh brings with him an […]

Austin Hooper Working To Get Better

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper worked with quarterback Matt Ryan last Friday and is putting in more work earlier in the offseason than ever before. “I'm here [in Atlanta] all offseason to work with him,” Hooper said. “Whenever Matt wants to go out, I told him to just text me.” Expectations were high for […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell said on Instagram on Wednesday that he will not sit out the 2018 season if he can't work out a long-term deal with the team. However, he will sit out all of training camp. "It's just a re-run of last year," Bell said. Bell started off a tad slow […]

Brian Flores To Call Defensive Plays

New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores will take over the primary play-calling duties in 2018 with previous defensive coordinator Matt Patricia now the head coach of the Lions.

Patriots Releasing Martellus Bennett

The New England Patriots are releasing tight end Martellus Bennett on Wednesday, according to a league source. After posting a career-high seven touchdowns on his way to a Super Bowl ring with the Pats in 2016, Bennett was a big disappointment last year with the Packers and Patriots, mainly due to a shoulder injury. He […]

Patriots Pick Up Kenny Britt's Option

The New England Patriots picked up wide receiver Kenny Britt's 2018 option, according to a source. The veteran Britt turned out to be a monumental free-agent bust for the Browns last year, as he caught only 18 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in nine games for them before they cut him lose. He […]

Tre Mason Ready To Make Combeback

Former St. Louis Rams running back Tre Mason is ready to return to football following a two-year hiatus, according to sources. He has recently been in contact with NFL teams and is in a much better place mentally after multiple run-ins with the police in 2016. However, per sources, NFL teams are reluctant to give […]

Bears Put Transition Tag On Kyle Fuller

The Chicago Bears have applied the transition tag to cornerback Kyle Fuller, according to sources. The Bears can match any offer that comes in for Fuller. Chicago could have made it easier on themselves if they would've just picked up Fuller's fifth-year option in 2016, but Fuller missed that entire season before bouncing back in […]

Panthers Reach Long-Term Deal With Graham Gano

The Carolina Panthers have locked up place kicker Graham Gano on a long-term deal, so they will not have to place the franchise tag on him, according to a source. His deal is for four years. While Gano doesn't have the strongest leg in the NFL, he was 0-for-1 on 50-plus yard attempts last year, […]

Jerick McKinnon Likely To Move On

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent running back Jerick McKinnon looks destined to test the free-agent market. General manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer talked about the team's running game at last week's combine but only discussed Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray. With McKinnon expected to move on, the Vikings shouldn't have a problem replacing […]

Redskins Targeting Paul Richardson

The Washington Redskins are targeting Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent wide receiver Paul Richardson, among others. The 'Skins are looking to upgrade their receiving corps with quarterback Kirk Cousins basically out the door to free agency. Terrelle Pryor was a massive bust and tight end Jordan Reed can't stay healthy. Richardson had a career year in […]

Ravens Could Be Interested In Donte Moncrief

The Baltimore Ravens could be interested in Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent wide receiver Dontre Moncrief. Moncrief is looking to rehabilitate his image after struggling in 2017 without quarterback Andrew Luck, and he could settle for a modest one-year deal. He had a career-low 26 receptions for 391 yards and two touchdowns last year in 12 […]

Bills To Sign Chris Ivory

The Buffalo Bills are expected to sign free-agent running back Chris Ivory to a two-year deal, according to sources. Ivory struggled in a backup role in Jacksonville last season, rushing 112 times for 382 yards (career-low 3.4 yards per carry) and just one touchdown. He's not as effective as he was earlier in his career, […]

Earl Thomas Sticking Around

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to keep Earl Thomas for the 2018 season. Thomas has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason, but Seattle would have to receive a significant offer to consider moving him.

Seahawks Likely To Lose Jimmy Graham To Free Agency

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to lose tight end Jimmy Graham to free agency, and the New Orleans Saints are one of the teams interested in him. Graham had 57 catches for 520 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Seahawks in 2017, and he became a low-end, touchdown-dependent fantasy asset late in the year. While […]

Rams Won't Place Tag On Sammy Watkins

The Los Angeles Rams will not use the franchise tag on impending free-agent wide receiver Sammy Watkins. If they use the tag, it will be on safety Lamarcus Joyner. However, the team would still like to keep Watkins. After being traded over from the Bills, Watkins had only 39 catches for 593 yards and eight […]

White Sox Have Little Interest In Mike Moustakas, Carlos Gonzalez

The Chicago White Sox have very little interest, if any, in free-agent third baseman Mike Moustakas and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, according to sources. Moose and Car-Go haven't seen much of a market for their services this offseason. It's understandable for Gonzalez after he struggled in 2017, but Moustakas is coming off a career-high 38 home […]

Stephen Vogt Could DH This Week

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) is hoping to serve as the designated hitter in Cactus League action this week if his shoulder calms down. He could start some light throwing on Tuesday, and both he and manager Craig Counsell think he has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day. Vogt was an […]

Manny Pina Has Sore Calf

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (calf) is dealing with a sore calf, which is why he only caught a few innings Saturday. However, manager Craig Counsell said the injury isn't serious, and Pina would've played the entire game if it were the regular season. Pina will enter the 2018 season as the team's starter after […]

Falcons Release Levine Toilolo

The Atlanta Falcons are releasing tight end Levine Toilolo, according to sources. He signed a three-year, $12 million deal just last year, but he had just 12 catches for 122 yards and one touchdown with Atlanta in 2017. Toilolo is more of a blocking tight end and has never had more than 31 receptions or […]

Ravens See Lamar Jackson As QB

Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said the team sees Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson as a quarterback, even though multiple teams have requested that Jackson work out as a wide receiver at the NFL combine. "I don't know what the other teams think about him," Newsome said Friday at the NFL combine. "But, on our […]

Panthers Not Interested In Jarvis Landry

The Carolina Panthers are not interested in trading for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry, according to sources. They are looking for a wideout with more top-end speed. Carolina desperately needs to upgrade their receiving corps around Devin Funchess, but apparently Landry won't be that guy. After leading the league in catches in 2017, the […]

Seahawks Not Planning To Tag Sheldon Richardson

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said the team doesn't plan to use the franchise tag on impending free-agent defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson "at this point." In his first season with the Seahawks in 2017, Richardson combined for 44 tackles, one sack, two fumble recoveries and one interception. With or without Richardson in 2018, Seattle's […]
