The Chicago Bears worked out free-agent veteran offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele on Thursday, according to a source.

The Calgary Flames have signed center Nazem Kadri to a seven-year, $49 million contract, with an AAV of $7 million.

Buffalo Sabres center Tage Thompson signed a seven-year, $50 million extension on Tuesday, making him a Sabre until 2030.

The Texans signed tight end O.J. Howard on Thursday. The 27-year-old was recently released by Buffalo and was expected to sign with the Bengals. However, he is now heading to Houston instead.

Carlos Martinez Suspended 85 Games
Free-agent right-hander Carlos Martinez has been suspended for 85 games, retroactive to June 19, for violating the league's joint domestic-violence, sexual-assault and child-abuse policy. It's been a bad year for Martinez, as he was also handed an 80-game suspension on May 27 for performance-enhancing drugs. The 30-year-old Dominican is unlikely to pitch in the big... Read More
Astros Not In On Michael Conforto
The Houston Astros are said to not be involved in talks to sign free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto.

Bengals Release Brandon Allen
The Cincinnati Bengals released veteran quarterback Brandon Allen and veteran safety Michael J. Thomas and waived running back Trayveon Williams on Wednesday after claiming three players off waivers. There's a strong possibility that Allen will return to the team's roster, since they currently have no backup behind starter Joe Burrow. The 29-year-old signal-caller was originally... Read More
Texans Cut Royce Freeman
The Houston Texans cut running back Royce Freeman on Wednesday. It was veteran Marlon Mack, not Freeman, that was surprisingly cut on Tuesday, but the Texans re-signed Mack to the practice squad on Wednesday and released Freeman a day later.

Josh Gordon Visits With Titans
Free-agent wide receiver Josh Gordon, who led the league in receiving yards way back in 2013, is visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday.

49ers Waive Trey Sermon Wednesday
The San Francisco 49ers waived running back Trey Sermon on Wednesday. There had been mixed reports on Sermon during training camp and the preseason, with some suggesting that he was on the roster bubble. The 23-year-old third-round pick in 2021 will surely be scooped up off waivers by a running back-needy team, and it could... Read More
Larry Rountree III To Be Waived
The Los Angeles Chargers plan to waive running back Larry Rountree III after they signed Sony Michel on Wednesday, according to a source. Rountree was a former sixth-round pick last year, and he saw only 36 carries for 87 yards and one touchdown in 12 games in his rookie season in 2021. He was entering... Read More

The Los Angeles Chargers are meeting with free-agent running back Sony Michel on Wednesday.

Lions Release David Blough
The Detroit Lions released quarterback David Blough on Wednesday, according to sources. The Lions decided to cut Blough after they brought in Nate Sudfeld as a backup.

Raiders Waive Alex Leatherwood
The Las Vegas Raiders waived former first-round offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood on Tuesday, according to a source.

The 23-year-old was the 17th overall selection last year out of... Read More
Buccaneers Release Logan Ryan
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released safety Logan Ryan on Tuesday despite receiving consistent praise from the coaching staff during training camp. Ryan is a vested veteran and won't be subject to waivers, so the Bucs will likely look to bring him back on Wednesday after center Ryan Jensen (knee) goes on Injured Reserve. The 31-year-old... Read More
J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Cut By Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks cut wide receivers J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and wide receiver Freddie Swain, quarterback Jacob Eason, running back Darwin Thompson, cornerback Justin Coleman and safety Marquise Blair on Tuesday.

Tyler Badie Among Ravens Roster Cuts
Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Tyler Badie was among the team's many roster cuts on Tuesday. Badie was used heavily in the preseason and training camp with both J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Gus Edwards (knee) sidelined, but he'll be the odd-man out after Baltimore signed Kenyan Drake on Tuesday. If Badie clears waivers, there's a... Read More
Markieff Morris Heading To Brooklyn
Free-agent forward Markieff Morris is heading to the Nets on a one-year deal. The 32-year-old averaged 7.6 points and 2.6 boards with the Heat last season, although he played only 17 games due to injury. While the veteran shouldn't be a routine fantasy contributor, he has a chance to earn a meaningful role in the... Read More
Saints Release Ian Book
The New Orleans Saints released quarterback Ian Book on Tuesday, according to a source. Book will be a practice-squad target if he clears waivers. In the team's preseason finale last Friday against the Los Angeles Chargers, the 24-year-old went 11-for-15 for 81 yards and a touchdown, also adding a 50-yard run. The Saints will roll... Read More
Vikings Cut Sean Mannion
The Minnesota Vikings cut quarterback Sean Mannion on Tuesday, according to a source. Mannion could wind up returning to join the practice squad.

Mannion definitely outperformed Mond in the preseason,... Read More
Lil'Jordan Humphrey Doesn't Survive Roster Cuts
The New England Patriots released wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Tuesday, according to a source. However, he could re-sign to the team's practice squad.

Patriots Waive Rookie Kevin Harris
The New England Patriots waived rookie sixth-round running back Kevin Harris on Tuesday, according to a source. If he clears waivers, Harris will almost certainly be moved to the team's practice squad. The 21-year-old entered the draft earlier this year out of the University of South Carolina.

The San Francisco 49ers decided to release veteran quarterback Nate Sudfeld and retain rookie Brock Purdy on the team's 53-man roster.

Read More
49ers Release Tashaun Gipson
The San Francisco 49ers released veteran safety Tashaun Gipson on Tuesday, according to a source. Gipson signed a one-year deal with the Niners just a week ago, but he won't make it onto the initial 53-man roster.

Cowboys Release Cooper Rush
The Dallas Cowboys released quarterback Cooper Rush on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the move. Rush has accrued at least four years of NFL experience, so he won't be subject to waivers.
