    Bills' Rasul Douglas: Key acquisition in 2023
    2h ago

    Douglas posted 61 tackles, 1.0 sacks, 14 passes defensed, five interceptions, a pick-six and three fumble recoveries over 16 regular-season games split between the Packers and Bills.

    The Bills acquired Douglas from Green Bay in a Halloween trade, and the veteran played a key role in helping the Bills turn around their season and win a fourth straight AFC East title. With Buffalo losing several key pieces this offseason, Douglas will remain a clear-cut starter and locker room leader entering his eighth NFL season. He's had four-plus picks in each of the last three seasons.

    Texans' Jacob Phillips: Houston bound
    10h ago

    Phillips (pectoral) inked a one-year deal with the Texans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Phillips spent last year on Cleveland's injured reserve due to a torn pectoral muscle. It was his second straight season-ending pectoral injury, as the same injury ended his 2022 campaign early. The 2020 third-round pick's addition to the Texans' offseason roster indicates his health is back to up to par. He will now compete for a role at linebacker in Houston.

    Patriots' Mitchell Wilcox: Inks new deal
    13h ago

    Wilcox signed a contract with the Patriots on Monday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Wilcox now will call New England home after spending the first three campaigns of his career In Cincinnati. The 27-year-old appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2023, mostly operating as the Bengals' No. 3 option at tight end and recording nine catches (on 12 targets) for 56 yards. If he can make the Patriots' roster this year, he'll likely be a depth option for them, too.

    Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Future status still in question
    14h ago

    Holcomb (knee) still doesn't have a timeline for when he may be able to return to the field, Adam Borst of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Holcomb suffered a significant knee injury Week 9 against the Titans that required season-ending surgery to repair. Since then, there has been speculation that the damage done was enough to keep the North Carolina product on the sidelines permanently, bringing an early end to his career. However, according to GM Omar Khan, Holcolmb is "working extremely hard to get back. I don't really have much to add on a timeline." Khan further stated, "It was a major injury, but he is working hard and I'm optimistic about all the effort he's going to put into getting back on the field."

  • Brandon Aiyuk SF WR
    49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Discussing deal with team
    14h ago

    GM John Lynch said Monday that the 49ers are having "good talks" with Aiyuk, who hasn't been at the team facility for the offseason program, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Aiyuk is unlikely to show up for voluntary workouts without a new contract in hand, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll hold out from mandatory minicamp in June if the two sides haven't reached an agreement by then. The 26-year-old's agent denied reports of a trade request last weekend, and it sounds like there's still hope for a long-term contract heading into the fifth and final year of Aiyuk's rookie deal. He's scheduled to make $14.12 million under the fifth-year option, whereas a multi-year deal likely would entail a large signing bonus and an annual average value well north of $20 million. Making it work for the 2024 season isn't an issue, but the Niners may be hesitant to pay Aiyuk at market value long term when they already have six players scheduled for cap hits north of $20 million in 2025, including WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle. Even then, it's a workable situation, as they've got a starting QB on a late-round-rookie contract and don't owe large sums of guaranteed money beyond the current year to anyone besides DE Nick Bosa.

  • Zach Wilson NYJ QB
    Broncos' Zach Wilson: Traded to Denver
    15h ago

    The Jets are trading Wilson to the Broncos for a late-round pick swap, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    The Jets will give up the 256th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and receive pick No. 203. They'll also hold some of Wilson's salary, with the 24-year-old scheduled for $5.45 million in guaranteed compensation for the final year of his rookie contract. This could give Wilson a shot to compete for a starting job, depending on what the Broncos do in the upcoming draft. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are the other QBs on Denver's roster, with Stidham the favorite to start Week 1 if no early draft pick is added to the room.

  • Michael Conforto SF LF
    Giants' Michael Conforto: Belts fifth long ball in victory
    3h ago

    Conforto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run Monday in a 5-2 win against the Mets.

    Conforto scored San Francisco's first run after singling in the second inning, and he accounted for the team's final tally with a solo shot to right field in the sixth. The performance snapped a nine-game stretch during which the veteran batted just .171 and failed to register a multi-hit effort. Despite that cold snap, Conforto has started the season well, posting a .271/.311/.506 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI and 13 runs through 90 plate appearances.

  • Pete Alonso NYM 1B
    Mets' Pete Alonso: Swats solo shot Monday
    3h ago

    Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Giants.

    Alonso accounted for the Mets' first run with a fifth-inning solo blast to left field. The long ball snapped a seven-game homerless drought for the slugger, and he had gone just 4-for-26 with one RBI during that stretch. Alonso still leads the team -- and is tied for third in the majors -- with seven homers on the campaign, though he's knocked in just 12 runs.

  • Jose Quintana NYM SP
    Mets' Jose Quintana: Allows five runs in loss
    3h ago

    Quintana (1-2) took the loss against San Francisco on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.

    Quintana wasn't sharp in the outing, inducing just four swinging strikes and giving up a season-high five runs. The veteran hurler also yielded a season high in hits and walked multiple batters for the fifth straight start. Quintana had managed a solid 3.05 ERA despite a poor 16:11 K:BB and 1.50 WHIP coming into Monday, but the outing against the Giants paints a more reasonable picture of what to expect from the left-hander if he continues to allow batters to reach base at a high rate.

  • Keaton Winn SF SP
    Giants' Keaton Winn: Picks up seconds straight win
    3h ago

    Winn (2-3) earned the win against the Mets on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.

    The only run Winn allowed came on a Pete Alonso solo homer in the fifth inning, which was also the Mets' lone extra-base hit in the contest. The right-handed hurler finished with his second straight quality start, and he's allowed just two runs over 12 frames during that two-game stretch. Winn appears to be finding a groove and has been a valuable component of San Francisco's pitching staff so far this season, posting a 3.54 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB through 28 innings.

  • Jo Adell LAA RF
    Angels' Jo Adell: Homers, swipes bag in loss
    3h ago

    Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base Monday in a loss to the Orioles.

    Adell produced the Angels' first run with a solo homer in the seventh inning. He then helped in the team's attempt to try to rally in the ninth, leading off the frame with a hit-by-pitch, advancing to second on a single and subsequently stealing third, though he was ultimately stranded there. Adell continues to receive sporadic playing time -- this was just his second start in the Angels' past six contests -- but he's done well when on the field, slashing .281/.314/.531 with two home runs, five RBI, seven runs and six steals through 35 plate appearances.

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Takes modest step toward return
    3h ago

    Lowe (oblique) has started swinging and taking ground balls, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Lowe landed on the injured list April 12 but doesn't appear all that close to a return. On Tuesday, manager Kevin Cash described Lowe's progress as "nothing huge yet." Curtis Mead and Amed Rosario will likely continue to form a platoon at second base in Lowe's absence.

    Magic's Franz Wagner: Nears 20 points in balanced outing
    7h ago

    Wagner tallied 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

    Wagner struggled to find his shot a bit in Monday's defeat but still provided a lift offensively by ending two points shy of the 20-point mark while leading all Magic players in rebounds in a balanced performance. Wagner has put together back-to-back strong showings for Orlando to start the opening-round series, posting 18 points and seven boards in both contests.

    Magic's Gary Harris: Strong from deep in loss
    7h ago

    Harris ended with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

    Harris led all Orlando players in threes made while hauling in a quartet of rebounds and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Harris bounced back in Game 2 after a disappointing performance in Game 1, during which the guard did not connect on a shot while being held scoreless. Harris will need to continue to provide a lift offensively for Orlando as it tries to erase a 2-0 series deficit entering Game 3.

    Banchero led all Orlando players in scoring while handing out a trio of rebounds and assists and swiping a team-high pair of steals in a losing effort in Game 2. Banchero has done all he can to help the Magic in the first two games of the series against the Cavaliers, surpassing the 20-point mark while recording at least three rebounds and steals in both outings.

    Garland had a strong showing from deep in Cleveland's second straight victory to begin the series, connecting on a team-high mark from three while handing out a team-high-tying assist total and ending as one of four Cavaliers with 15 or more points. Garland has provided a nice boost for Cleveland through two games in the first round, posting at least 14 points, four assists and three rebounds in two straight outings.

    Allen did it all to help Cleveland take a commanding 2-0 series lead, leading all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while pacing the Cavaliers in blocks to go along with a pair of steals in a double-double performance. Allen has owned the glass over the first two games of the opening-round series, recording at least 18 rebounds and a double-double in both contests.

    Mitchell once again led Cleveland offensively in another victory in the opening-round series, finishing with a game-high scoring total while handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists and ending two boards shy of a double-double. The Cavaliers will continue to ride Mitchell's offensive firepower in the postseason, with Mitchell posting at least 23 points in both games of the first round thus far.

  • Alex Laferriere LA RW
    Kings' Alex Laferriere: Adds apple in loss
    2h ago

    Laferriere notched an assist, five shots on goal and eight hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Laferriere made an impact in his first playoff game -- he was tied for the team lead in hits and shots. The 22-year-old received a top-line assignment at even strength but saw just 11:29 of ice time. Laferriere had 23 points, 113 hits and 147 shots on net in 81 regular-season contests, so he should be able to provide some depth scoring in the postseason.

    Kings' Drew Doughty: Nabs helper in loss
    2h ago

    Doughty recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Doughty has six points over 10 contests since the start of April. The 34-year-old defenseman has plenty of playoff experience, and he's still capable of eating big minutes on the top pairing. Doughty averaged 25:48 of ice time per game this season, earning 15 goals, 35 assists, 142 blocked shots, 109 hits and a plus-15 rating in 82 appearances. He's still a workhorse, and he's reliable enough to be effective in all zones.

    Kings' Quinton Byfield: Pockets helper
    2h ago

    Byfield notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Byfield set up an Adrian Kempe tally in the second period. An unsteady end to the campaign saw Byfield pick up two points in the regular-season finale following a 19-game goal drought in which he earned six assists. The 21-year-old had 55 points over 80 contests overall, but it's possible he's feeling the wear and tear of a full-length NHL season, which could limit his effectiveness in the playoffs.

    Arvidsson notched an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Arvidsson helped out on a Mikey Anderson goal in the second period. With seven points over his last five contests, Arvidsson is carrying some momentum on offense into the postseason. He was limited to 18 regular-season games but still produced 15 points and 59 shots on net, making him a solid depth option for fantasy playoff competitions.

    Anderson scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Moore snapped a 12-game goal drought with his second-period tally. He had just one helper in that span, though it's his defensive abilities that help him stay on the top pairing. Anderson had 18 points, 129 hits and 129 blocked shots over 74 regular-season appearances, serving Drew Doughty's main defensive partner.

    Moore scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and notched three hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Moore got the Kings within two goals late in the third period, but there wasn't enough time for a comeback. The 29-year-old winger has six goals and three assists over 10 outings in April. He produced a career-high 31 goals and 57 points in 82 regular-season contests while cementing himself as a fixture on the second line. Moore also sees time on both special teams, making him a strong two-way forward.
