Blake Bortles To Be 100 Percent Next Month

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles (wrist), who signed a three-year extension on Saturday, said he's on track in his rehab from right wrist surgery and expects to be cleared with no restrictions in early March. He will also begin his offseason work with throwing coach Adam Dedeaux in California this weekend, where he'll be on […]

D'Onta Foreman Pushing For Larger Role

Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman saw more playing time in 2017 as the season went on before he tore his Achilles in Week 11, but he could see a much larger role alongside Lamar Miller this year. Foreman had surgery in late November and is expected to be ready for the season. As a […]

Texans Could Move On From Lamar Miller

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller, who averaged a career-worst 3.7 yards per carry in 2017, could be released this offseason. He's two years into his four-year deal, but the Texans could give him one more chance with $64 million in salary cap space. Miller also had 35 fewer touches last season despite playing in […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Doesn't Want To Play In The Preseason

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. posted on his Twitter account that he doesn't want to play any preseason snaps this year. While the Giants probably won't use him much in the preseason, he should be expected to play at least some snaps as he's looking to bounce back from a 2017 season […]

Daniel Vogelbach In Walking Boot

Seattle Mariners first baseman Daniel Vogelback (foot) was seen in a walking boot Saturday after he was hit by a pitch in the right foot in the Cactus League opener on Friday. His status is up in the air, although he did stay in the game and hit a double an inning before being taken […]

Sam Bradford Wants To Play In 2018

Despite playing in only two games due to ongoing knee issues in 2017, Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent quarterback Sam Bradford said he "absolutely" wants to play in 2018. Bradford could be back as the starter in Minnesota next season, but that would mean that the Vikes missed out on re-signing Case Keenum or Washington Redskins […]

Corey Grant In Line For Bigger Role?

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to give running back Corey Grant a weekly package of run and pass plays after they released veteran running back Chris Ivory this week. Grant had just 32 attempts for 253 yards on the ground and caught six passes for 100 yards during the year, but he showed excellent burst […]

Danny Amendola Could Return To Patriots

There is optimism that New England Patriots impending free-agent wide receiver Danny Amendola would return to the team if he decides to play for another season. Amendola prefers to play in meaningful games in December and January over the amount of money he is paid. The 32-year-old stepped up in the team's run to another […]

Bills Could Try To Trade For Martavis Bryant

The Buffalo Bills, who were trying to trade for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant at the October deadline, could get involved again this offseason. The Steelers were listing on Bryant at the deadline last year but felt a fourth-round pick wasn't fair compensation. A late second-rounder or low third-rounder could get something done. Bryant […]

Dolphins Could Restructure Ryan Tannehill's Contract

The Miami Dolphins, who must get creative to generate more salary cap space this offseason, could restructure quarterback Ryan Tannehill's contract and save $11.123 million in cap space. It would involve turning his base salary into a signing bonus, which would then be prorated over the final two years of his deal. Miami could do […]

Ryan Raburn Scratched With Side Tightness

Washington Nationals outfielder Ryan Raburn (side) was scratched from the spring lineup for the second straight day Saturday with "left side tightness." Raburn said he hurt himself swinging in batting practice a few days ago, but he's not worried that it's a long-term injury. Raburn hit .261 with two home runs and six RBI in […]

Mitch Haniger To Be Held Out A Few Days

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (hand) will be held out of spring games for a few days due to a sore hand. The Mariners are just being extra cautious early in camp. Haniger only played in 96 games in 2017 due to various injuries, but when he was on the field, he played well, hitting […]

Noah Syndergaard To Make First Start On Monday

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (lat) will make his first start this spring on Monday against the Astros. Syndergaard had a lost season in 2017 due to a torn lat muscle. When healthy, though, Thor is a top-10 fantasy pitcher in all leagues. However, you'll still have to pay for his high ceiling […]

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, […]

Cameron Jordan Undergoes Surgery

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan (foot) underwent minor surgery on his left foot recently, according to a source with knowledge of the procedure.

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 […]
