The Detroit Lions are looking for help at cornerback this offseason, and one source thinks they could target a former Defensive Player of the Year who is nearing the end of his career. According to Pro Football Focus, the Lions are a top potential landing location for free agent Stephon Gilmore, who is returning to the open market after one season with the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions have three cornerbacks entering free agency — Jerry Jacobs, Kindle Vildor, and Khalil Dorsey — and are expected to make some upgrades to a corps that has struggled at times. Lions Advised to…

The New York Yankees made numerous important changes to restructure the squad following a poor 82-80 season in 2023. Despite Cashman’s moves, the Bombers’ infield depth feels a little low right now. Should they file a waiver claim for San Francisco Giants third baseman J.D. Davis to gain some help? Scott Rogust of FanSided identified the Yankees as one of three teams that “should take an easy flier” on Davis. The right-handed hitter started spring training as the Giants’ starting third baseman. That changed recently, when San Francisco acquired four-time Gold Glove winner Matt Chapman. He was also placed on…

Few would dispute that the Detroit Lions couldn’t benefit from an upgrade at defensive tackle in 2024. Free agency begins on March 13, and veteran Christian Wilkins is widely regarded as the finest available defensive lineman on the market. On March 10, ESPN’s Dan Graziano vaguely linked the Lions and Wilkins. “After Chris Jones landed a big deal on Saturday night, Miami’s Christian Wilkins is likely to be a hot name, with contending teams such as the Texans and Lions looking to upgrade at that position,” Graziano noted in an email. Graziano was referring to the Kansas City Chiefs’ record-setting…

After trading superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets last offseason, the Green Bay Packers appeared to be a few years away from returning to playoff contention, with no guarantee that Jordan Love was the right man for the job under center. Despite a sluggish start to the 2023 season, the Packers were able to turn things around thanks to Love’s improved play and eventually clinched a spot in the NFL playoffs, setting up a first-round meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. A Green Bay Packers helmet is shown on the sideline before the game versus the Seattle Seahawks…

The free agency negotiation period begins at Noon ET on Monday, and while most expect the Detroit Lions will be active at cornerback, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports that the Lions could make a big splash at defensive tackle. According to Graziano, the Lions and Houston Texans will likely compete for Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins’ services. “After Chris Jones landed a big deal on Saturday night, Miami’s Christian Wilkins is likely to be a hot name, with contending teams such as the Texans and Lions looking to upgrade at that position,” Graziano wrote in the early hours of Sunday morning.…

Following the 2023 college football season, the Georgia Bulldogs roster saw a few departures. In response to the large number of departures, the Bulldogs made a few moves of their own to guarantee that they had enough quality on their roster to compete for a national championship. With more recruits to this year’s team than in previous years, identifying all of the Bulldog newcomers may prove to be a major issue. Here is a list of new Bulldogs that are expected to make the largest impact in their first year with the squad. TREVOR ETIENNE Etienne’s transfer to the University…

The Detroit Lions and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley negotiated a new contract agreement before free agency, and the terms of the one-year pact are now published on OverTheCap.com. In 2023, the Lions were aggressive in acquiring Moseley, and despite his recovery from an ACL injury, they signed him to a one-year contract worth $5.3 million, with the option to earn an additional $700,000 in playing time bonuses. Unfortunately, Moseley’s ACL recovery suffered a setback, and his return to the field was postponed. When he finally got on the field, he barely played two snaps before ripping his other ACL, ending his…

The defensive tackle market took form late Saturday night, when the Kansas City Chiefs and Chris Jones agreed on a large contract extension less than a week before free agency began. Jones got a five-year contract worth $95 million in guaranteed money, setting a new benchmark for the expense of a good defensive lineman. With Jones out, Miami’s Christian Wilkins will emerge as one of the top defensive lineman available. The Dolphins decided not to franchise tag Wilkins, allowing him to enter free agency. In his five NFL seasons, he has 20.5 sacks, with a career-high 9.5 in 2023. The…

The Toronto Blue Jays confirmed Joey Votto’s signing on Friday, March 7, 2024. Although there had been speculation that Votto would sign with the Jays, the signing came as a surprise. The Blue Jays appeared to be done signing players, but Votto was still available and eager to play for the Jays. In November, the Cincinnati Reds declined a $20 million option on Votto’s 10-year, $225 million contract from 2012. Votto has never played for another team. Votto discussed how it appeared at the time that major-league contracts were open to him. However, he signed to a $2 million, one-year…

Trade rumors involving Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson have started to heat up. So much so that NFL writers have began to speculate on potential trade destinations for Johnson this offseason. According to Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report, Johnson could sign with the Dallas Cowboys. “Getting Johnson’s $15.8 million cap hit to fit on Dallas’ books given their annual cap issues would take a little doing, but extending the 27-year-old would solve that issue,” Davenport wrote in an email. “Dallas received two compensatory draft picks this week, giving the Cowboys additional draft cash to play Let’s Make a Deal.…
