Keith Hernandez 7 years agoPanthers 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoJaguars 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.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoLamar 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoNick 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, […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoDolphins 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 […]

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoFour 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.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoTigers 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoJose 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoBraves 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 […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoPanthers 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, […]

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.

New Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo praised impending free-agent quarterback Case Keenum. “Case brings a lot to the table.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoJoe Musgrove's Injury Is Minor
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove's (shoulder) right shoulder pain is "minor" and "precautionary," director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said.

Musgrove was much better as a […]

The Los Angeles Angels acquired outfielder Jabari Blash from the New York Yankees in exchange for a player to be named later or cash. Blash hit just .213 with five home runs and 16 RBI last year for the Padres. He has some pop in his bat but likely won't be anything more than a […]

Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent cornerback Aaron Colvin is unlikely to return alongside Pro Bowl cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye.
