Malachi Corley NYJ WRJets' Malachi Corley: Not assured roster spot?
2d agoCorley (undisclosed), who missed mandatory minicamp while continuing to manage an undisclosed injury sustained during OTAs, isn't a lock to make the Jets' regular-season roster, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Corley played just 83 offensive snaps (and eight snaps on special teams) across his nine regular-season appearances as a rookie, despite New York investing third-round draft capital by selecting him 65th overall. His most memorable moment in Year 1 came in the form of a fumble at the goal line during Week 9 that turned what would have been his first career touchdown into a touchback. New offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand acknowledged that the time Corley has missed during early installs means he's "going to have to find a way to catch himself up." Now fighting an uphill battle, it will be crucial for Corley to get healthy for Day 1 of training camp July 23. The Jets have a relatively open competition at wide receiver behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson, with Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Gipson representing Corley's competition for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Kevin Foelsch KC TEKevin Foelsch: Let go by KC
3d agoThe Chiefs waived Foelsch on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Foelsch signed with the Chiefs on June 11, but his tenure with the club didn't last long. Kansas City signed fellow tight end Geor'quarius Spivey on Thursday, which precipitated Foelsch's removal from the roster. Foelsch has spent time with the Panthers, Jets and Eagles but has yet to see action in a regular-season NFL game.

Jalen Ramsey MIA CBDolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Trade expected before training camp
3d agoThe Dolphins are expected to finalize a trade dealing Ramsey before training camp, and the cornerback's preferred destination would be a West Coast team such as the Rams or Chargers, Dante Collinelli of SI.com reports.
Ramsey and Miami appear united in a mutual desire to part ways, and it's unsurprising that interested teams would want the veteran cornerback present for the start of training camp. Both teams in Los Angeles would benefit from adding a proven starting boundary corner such as Ramsey, though Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that "there would be some obstacles that are real that are in the place of maybe preventing that from occurring," though he said the team is "always open-minded to onboarding and acquiring quality players." The Steelers have also reportedly emerged as an interested party among the Dolphins' trade talks.

Chigoziem Okonkwo TEN TETitans' Chig Okonkwo: Displaying chemistry with Ward
3d agoOkonkwo caught the most passes of any player during Tennessee's five open practices of OTAs and mandatory minicamp, and he already appears to have developed a rapport with rookie quarterback Cam Ward, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Okonkwo's three seasons in the league thus far have been similar, as he's now started slow, finished strong, played all 17 regular-season games and floated around the 500-yard range each year since joining the Titans in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Tennessee added TE Gunnar Helm in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but even with more competition for snaps there's reason for optimism that improved quarterback play from Ward, the No. 1 overall pick, will pave the way for Okonkwo's production to finally take a step forward. The 6-foot-3, 238-pound tight end lacks prototypical size but boasts rare speed and YAC ability for his position. Tennessee doesn't have an entrenched No. 2 option in the passing game behind top wideout Calvin Ridley, as Tyler Lockett, Treylon Burks (ACL) and Van Jefferson plus a pair of rookie fourth-rounders in Chimere Dikeand Elic Ayomanor close out the wide receiver room. If he continues building momentum during training camp, it's not inconceivable that Okonkwo could secure that role.

Xazavian Valladay NO RBXazavian Valladay: Cut loose by Saints
3d agoNew Orleans waived Valladay on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Valladay hasn't logged a regular-season appearance since he suited up for one game with the Jets in 2023, playing no snaps on offense and 12 snaps on special teams. He spent time on New York's and New Orleans' practice squads last season and will now look for a new landing spot in the league.

Tyjae Spears TEN RBTitans' Tyjae Spears: Motivated for Year 3
3d agoTitans coach Brian Callahan said during mandatory minicamp that Spears has "had an unbelievable offseason" and that he's "really excited to see what he can bring to us this year because he's been in a great place," Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Spears has been a full participant at offseason activities after battling ankle and hamstring injuries in 2024, in addition to two concussions, the latter of which forced him to sit out Week 18. The 2023 third-round pick wrapped 2024 with just 312 yards and four touchdowns on 84 carries across 12 regular-season appearances, plus 31 catches for 226 yards and another score. Spears said he's motivated to "be as consistent as I can be" in 2025 and focusing on "doing more things toward being a better teammate." At full health, it wouldn't be inaccurate to call Spears one of the league's most elusive runners, so as long as he's able to stay on the field, he'll have a path to emerge as a meaningful playmaker alongside Tony Pollard. Callahan said in May that his plan for 2025 is to deploy a more even backfield split between Pollard and Spears that allows the two to "play a little more evenly," and the team seems a strong candidate to build its offense around the ground game in Cam Ward's rookie season.

Tyler Fitzgerald SF 2BGiants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Dispatched to minors
2m agoThe Giants optioned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
Fitzgerald is slashing only .127/.197/.145 in June and had seen his playing time dip with four starts over the last seven contests. He'll head to Sacramento, where he will try to get his swing in order. The Giants will go with a combination of Brett Wisely and Christian Koss at second base until Matt Chapman (hand) returns, at which point Casey Schmitt is likely to shift over to the keystone.

Jeimer Candelario CIN 3BReds' Jeimer Candelario: Dropped from 40-man roster
4m agoThe Reds reinstated Candelario (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.
Though Cincinnati has received underwhelming production at third base from Santiago Espinal and Christian Encarnacion-Strand of late, management apparently didn't view Candelario as a short-term solution at the position now that the 31-year-old is healthy again after he had been on the shelf since April 30 due to a lumbar spine strain. Before landing on the IL, Candelario was batting just .113 with a career-high 31.9 percent strikeout rate over 91 plate appearances, and he didn't fare much better in an extended rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville, with whom he produced a .211/.318/.333 slash line in 15 games. Now that he's been DFA'd, Candelario will be exposed to waivers, but he's unlikely to find a suitor that's willing to take on the money remaining on his three-year, $45 million deal, which runs through 2026. Candelario could choose to become a free agent once he clears waivers.

Kyle Wright KC SPRoyals' Kyle Wright: Activated and optioned
8m agoThe Royals activated Wright (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Omaha.
Wright has struggled on his rehab assignment, netting a 5.48 ERA and 21:14 K:BB over 23 innings across eight starts. He yielded four runs with a 3:3 K:BB over three innings in his most recent rehab outing with Omaha and the Royals have decided to keep him there rather than add him to the active roster in the majors. Wright hasn't pitched at the big-league level since undergoing right shoulder surgery in October of 2023.

Billy Amick MIN 3BTwins' Billy Amick: Returns from IL
16m agoHigh-A Cedar Rapids reinstated Amick (oblique) from the 7-day injured list Monday.
Amick has been cleared to make his return to the Cedar Rapids lineup for the first time since April 30 after he had been sidelined for seven weeks with a left oblique strain. The 22-year-old infielder was activated after he completed a six-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Fort Myers.
-
Jose Siri NYM CFMets' Jose Siri: Moved to 60-day IL
18m agoThe Mets transferred Siri (tibia) to the 60-day injured list Monday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster. It does not alter Siri's timetable, as he has already missed more than 60 days and remains shut down from baseball activities after suffering a setback recently with his fractured left tibia.
-
Ryan Jeffers MIN CTwins' Ryan Jeffers: Resting Monday
19m agoJeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
Jeffers will get a break in the series opener after he started each of the previous four days, with three of those starts coming at catcher. Christian Vazquez will replace Jeffers behind the plate Monday.

Pascal Siakam IND PFPacers' Pascal Siakam: Struggles in Game 7 defeat
3h agoSiakam supplied 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
The Pacers fell one win shy of Siakam picking up his second career NBA championship. Siakam will be able to hold his head high after another terrific campaign, however. The 31-year-old forward appeared in 78 regular-season contests, posting sixth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats with 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 32.7 minutes per contest. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined by an Achilles tear, Siakam could be poised to take on a larger role in 2025-26.

Bennedict Mathurin IND SFPacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Plays well in Game 7 defeat
3h agoMathurin amassed 24 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Mathurin's production was all over the place in the postseason, though he certainly had his moments. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined by an Achilles tear, the Pacers may bank on Mathurin taking a leap in 2025-26 with so much usage up for grabs. During the 2024-25 regular season, Mathurin appeared in 72 games and produced 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers on 45.8 percent shooting from the field.
-
T.J. McConnell IND PGPacers' T.J. McConnell: Shines in Game 7 loss
3h agoMcConnell registered 16 points (8-13 FG), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
McConnell was arguably one of Indiana's best players in the NBA Finals after playing a modest role in the regular season -- he averaged 17.9 minutes per night across 79 contests with 9.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals on 51.9 percent shooting from the field. McConnell, who has four years and $44.8 million left on his contract, is set to take on a larger role in 2025-26 due to Tyrese Haliburton being sidelined by an Achilles tear he suffered during Game 7.
-
Aaron Nesmith IND SFPacers' Aaron Nesmith: Held in check
3h agoNesmith closed with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 30 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Nesmith had a miserable outing on the offensive end, but his defense kept him on the floor. While this was a disappointing end to his campaign, Nesmith showed a ton of promise in 2024-25. In 45 regular-season appearances, Nesmith shot 43.1 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 steals. With Tyrese Haliburton facing a lengthy recovery from his torn Achilles, Nesmith could soak up more usage in 2025-26.
-
Myles Turner IND CPacers' Myles Turner: Struggles in Game 7
3h agoTurner ended Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals with six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.
One of Turner's worst performances of the season came at the worst possible time for Indiana, with the team falling one win short of a championship. Turner, who is set to become a free agent this offseason, is likely to draw considerable interest from around the NBA. While previous reports have indicated that a reunion with the Pacers is the most likely outcome, it will be interesting to see how this shakes out. The longest-tenured Pacer on the roster, Turner appeared in 72 regular-season games, producing 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 30.2 minutes per game.
-
Andrew Nembhard IND PGPacers' Andrew Nembhard: Plays well in loss
4h agoNembhard finished with 15 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Nembhard made quite a name for himself during this run to the NBA Finals, but the Pacers ultimately came up one win short. To make matters worse, Tyrese Haliburton suffered an Achilles tear during the game. That means in 2025-26, the Pacers could lean heavily on Nembhard in the backcourt. The 25-year-old guard appeared in 65 regular-season contests in 2024-25, posting averages of 10.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.8 three-pointers.

Justin Kirkland CGY LWFlames' Justin Kirkland: Agrees to one-year deal
1h agoKirkland (knee) signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Calgary on Monday.
Kirkland registered two goals, six assists, nine shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 45 hits in 21 appearances with the Flames in the 2024-25 regular season. He suffered a knee injury against Columbus on Nov. 29 and missed the final 58 games of the year after having ACL surgery. If he's ready for training camp in the fall, the 28-year-old forward will compete for a bottom-six spot ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
-
Ryan Poehling PHI CDucks' Ryan Poehling: Moved to Orange County
2h agoAnaheim acquired Poehling, the No. 45 pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and a 2026 fourth-round selection from Philadelphia on Monday in exchange for Trevor Zegras, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Poehling produced 12 goals, 31 points, 71 shots on net and 79 blocked shots over 68 regular-season appearances with the Flyers in 2024-25. The 26-year-old forward will probably occupy a bottom-six role as a member of the Ducks in the 2025-26 campaign.
-
Trevor Zegras ANA CFlyers' Trevor Zegras: Dealt to Philadelphia
3h agoZegras was traded to the Flyers from the Ducks on Monday in exchange for Ryan Poehling, the No. 45 pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and a 2026 fourth-round pick, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Zegras was mentioned in trade rumors in the second half of the 2024-25 season, but he ultimately remained with Anaheim. However, he'll now don a new sweater for the first time since being drafted with the No. 9 pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 24-year-old racked up 12 goals, 20 assists, 50 hits and 27 blocked shots while averaging 17:02 of ice time over 57 appearances with the Ducks last year.
-
Mason Lohrei BOS DBruins' Mason Lohrei: Inks two-year deal
4h agoLohrei signed a two-year, $6.4 million contract with Boston on Monday.
Lohrei compiled five goals, 33 points, 92 shots on net and 103 blocked shots across 77 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. He also ranked second on the team with 16 power-play points, but injuries to Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Hampus Lindholm (kneecap) played a part in that production. Still, Lohrei has positioned himself well for a larger role in 2025-26, which could include more time on Boston's top power-play unit.

Topi Niemela TOR D
Maple Leafs' Topi Niemela: Signs with SHL team
5h agoNiemela signed a one-year contract with SHL Malmo on Monday, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.
Niemela is a pending restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract. The Maple Leafs can retain his NHL rights by giving him a qualifying offer. The 23-year-old defender had two goals and 22 points in 61 regular-season appearances with AHL Toronto in 2024-25 before adding two assists in two playoff outings. Niemela has spent the last two campaigns in the minors and hasn't made his NHL debut yet.

T.J. Brodie CHI DBlackhawks' T.J. Brodie: On waivers for buyout
2d agoBrodie was placed on unconditional waivers by the Blackhawks on Saturday for the purpose of a contract buyout, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
If Brodie clears waivers, the Blackhawks will officially buy out the last year of his contract, and he will become an unrestricted free agent. The 35-year-old had two goals and eight assists in 54 appearances before being a healthy scratch for the final 22 games of the 2024-25 regular season. He is too expensive to be spending $3.75 million on, especially with all of the young defensemen Chicago can utilize in 2025-26. Brodie is just a year removed from a 26-point campaign, but considering his age, he will likely be not much more than a depth add for a team in free agency.
