Dan Bailey Waiting For Right Team
Free-agent place kicker Dan Bailey said he is waiting for the "right team" to sign, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The source also said he has turned down four "very good offers." Vikings rookie Daniel Carlson missed three field goals in a tie in Week 2 against the Packers and could... Read More
Cowboys Not Interested In Josh Gordon
The Dallas Cowboys are not interested in signing Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon if he is released on Monday, according to a source. Instead, the Cowboys plan on signing free-agent Brice Butler on Monday. It's saying something with Cole Beasley being the most targeted receiver in Week 1. Gordon has heaps of potential, but... Read More
Jets Interested In Josh Gordon
The New York Jets are interested in Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, but they are just doing their due diligence. A trade of Brown to the Jets still appears unlikely. If a team doesn't trade for Gordon by Monday, the Browns are expected to release him. Gordon is a high-end wide receiver talent, but... Read More
Kenny Britt To Work Out For Patriots
Free-agent wide receiver Kenny Britt will work out for the New England Patriots on Monday, according to a source. If Britt proves that his hamstring is healthy, the team could re-sign him. The Patriots just can't seem to find someone they like for depth purposes with Julian Edelman suspended until Week 5. Britt is a... Read More
Browns Not Certain Dez Bryant Wants To Play
The Cleveland Browns said free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant's name hasn't "come up around the building lately," and the team is not sure that he wants to play football, according to a team source. Bryant's name will surely come up again now that the team is trading or releasing receiver Josh Gordon, but Bryant still... Read More
Brandon Wilds Promoted To Active Roster
The Jacksonville Jaguars promoted running back Brandon Wilds from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday and cut wide receiver Rashad Greene in a corresponding move. This could be a sign that Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will not play in Week 2 against the Patriots. If Fournette sits, T.J. Yeldon will be the main... Read More
Bennie Fowler Cut By Patriots
The New England Patriots cut wide receiver Bennie Fowler on Saturday, according to a source. Offensive tackle Cole Croston was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. This is a sign that right tackle Marcus Cannon will not be able to play in Week 2 against the Jaguars.
Bills Release Jeremy Kerley
The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver Jeremy Kerley on Saturday and signed defensive tackle Robert Thomas from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Kerley caught two of four targets for only seven yards in the season opener. Buffalo's depth behind Kelvin Benjamin was already suspect, so the release of Kerley is a bit of... Read More
Colts Waive Erik Swoope
The Indianapolis Colts waived tight end Erik Swoope on Thursday and promoted defensive tackle Jihad Ward from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Swoope had just one catch for 13 yards in the season opener and was behind Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron on the depth chart.
Jeremy McNichols Cut From Practice Squad
The Indianapolis Colts released running back Jeremy McNichols from the practice squad on Thursday and added offensive tackle Will Holden to the practice squad in a corresponding move. McNichols was drafted by the Niners last year in the fifth round but never panned out and didn't record a single carry.
Kenneth Farrow Signed To Practice Squad
The New England Patriots signed free-agent running back Kenneth Farrow to their practice squad on Wednesday and released wide receiver Jace Billingsley in a corresponding move. Farrow didn't play at all in the NFL in 2017 and has just 60 carries for 192 yards (3.2 yards per carry) in his only season with the Chargers... Read More
Matt Barkley Released With Injury Settlement
The Cincinnati Bengals released quarterback Matt Barkley (knee) from the Injured Reserve with an injury settlement on Wednesday. Jeff Driskel will move forward as the main backup to Andy Dalton. The Bengals are set to face the Ravens in Week 2 on Thursday night.
Several Others Work Out For Patriots
The New England Patriots also tried out free-agent running backs Orleans Darkwa, Charles Sims and wide receiver Brandon Tate on Tuesday. Tate was the team's third-round pick in 2009. New England already signed wideouts Corey Coleman and Bennie Fowler and running back Kenjon Barner on Tuesday, so it's unclear if they will add any more... Read More
Martavis Bryant Considering Return To Oakland
Free-agent wide receiver Martavis Bryant was at the team's facility on Tuesday and is talking with the team about a return, according to sources. It has been rumored that Bryant is facing a year-long suspension, but nothing is official yet. After Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson combined for four catches in Week 1 against the... Read More
Eagles Work Out Paxton Lynch, Among Others
The Philadelphia Eagles worked out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, running backs Fitzgerald Toussaint and Martez Carter and wide receivers Kamar Aiken, Breshad Perriman and Shane Wynn on Tuesday. With quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) still ailing, the Eagles are looking for some depth in those areas. None of these players... Read More
Patriots Waive Riley McCarron, Chad Hansen
The New England Patriots waived wide receivers Riley McCarron and Chad Hansen on Monday, according to a source. The team also put running back Jeremy Hill (knee) on Injured Reserve. McCarron dropped his only target and muffed a punt in Week 1 against the Patriots. New England will search for more receiver depth with Julian... Read More
Patriots Working Out Corey Coleman
The New England Patriots are working out free-agent wide receiver Corey Coleman on Monday, according to a source. Coleman also has a visit scheduled with the Eagles on Tuesday. The former first-round pick fell out of favor in Cleveland, was traded to Buffalo this summer and has since been released. The Pats are looking for... Read More
Eagles Working Out Breshad Perriman
The Philadelphia Eagles are working out free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman was a first-round bust for the Ravens after catching only 43 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns in three seasons. With the Eagles missing Alshon Jeffery and Mack Hollins in Week 1, they are looking for... Read More
Eagles Sign Braxton Miller
The Philadelphia Eagles signed wide receiver Braxton Miller, formerly of the Texans, to their practice squad. Miller was a third round pick in the 2016 draft but never amounted to much as a member of Houston's squad. He's clearly talented, though, and the Eagles will hope he develops into a useful piece. With Alshon Jeffery... Read More
Martavis Bryant Facing Year-Long Suspension
Free-agent wide receiver Martavis Bryant is facing a year-long suspension for his latest violation of the league's substance-abuse policy, according to a source. The NFL is reviewing the matter and could announce a decision early this week. Since it would be Bryant's third suspension in four years, it could mean the end of his football... Read More
Paxton Lynch Tries Out With Lions
Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch had a tryout with the Detroit Lions on Friday, according to a source. Lynch was a failed first-round pick with the Broncos in 2016 and was cut last weekend. The Lions are already set with veteran Matt Cassel backing up Matthew Stafford, so it's unlikely Detroit would add Lynch.
Corey Coleman Works Out For Cardinals
Free-agent wide receiver Corey Coleman worked out for the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, according to a source. Coleman has so far proven to be a bust in the NFL. He was traded to the Bills from the Browns, but then Buffalo has since released him. Coleman could make for an interesting addition with rookie Christian... Read More
Panthers Sign Connor Cook To Practice Squad
The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent quarterback Connor Cook to the practice squad on Thursday and released defensive tackle Kendrick Norton from the practice squad in a corresponding move. The team also reached an injury settlement with defensive tackle Jeremiah Sirles, and he has been released from the Injured Reserve. Taylor Heinicke remains the backup to... Read More
Texans Work Out Akeem Hunt, Charles Sims
The Houston Texans worked out free-agent running backs Akeem Hunt and Charles Sims on Thursday. Houston is noticeably lacking for running back depth behind Lamar Miller, with Alfred Blue the main backup. Tyler Ervin and rookie Gregory Howell round out the group. Sims was cut by the Buccaneers last weekend and Hunt had just eight... Read More
Browns Could Revisit Dez Bryant After Week 1
The Cleveland Browns could revisit free-agent Dez Bryant after Week 1 when the vested veteran guarantee expires, according to a league source. If Cleveland were to sign Bryant before the first game, his entire 2018 salary would be guaranteed. General manager John Dorsey, who is known to like Bryant, said "it's a week-to-week thing." The... Read More
Roberto Aguayo Works Out For Jets
Free-agent place kicker Roberto Aguayo worked out for the New York Jets on Wednesday, according to a source. Aguayo lost out on the kicking job with the Chargers to Caleb Sturgis. Jason Myers is New York's current starter, but his job obviously isn't etched in stone if they are looking at Aguayo. Myers can be... Read More
Connor Cook Visits With Panthers
Free-agent quarterback Connor Cook, who was cut by the Raiders last weekend, visited with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, according to a league source. The Panthers only have Taylor Heinicke backing up Cam Newton, so it may make some sense to add Cook to the roster.
Patriots Work Out Kendall Wright, Kenjon Barner
The New England Patriots worked out free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright and running back Kenjon Barner, among many others, on Wednesday. Wright had a productive season for Chicago last year, catching 59 passes for 614 yards, but he had just one touchdown. The Patriots are looking for bodies in their receiver room with Julian Edelman... Read More
Saints Waive Boston Scott
The New Orleans Saints waived rookie running back Boston Scott on Wednesday, according to a source. The team is hoping to add Scott to their practice squad if he clears waivers. That leaves just Alvin Kamara and Mike Gillislee on the team's running back depth chart with Mark Ingram suspended to open the year. Kamara... Read More
