Maason Smith ATL DTFalcons' Maason Smith: Sent to Atlanta
17h agoThe Falcons acquired Smith from the Jaguars on Friday in exchange for Ruke Orhorhoro, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Both Smith and Orhorhoro were second-round picks in the 2024 Draft and will get a change of scenery. In two seasons with the Jaguars, Smith appeared in 24 regular-season contests and logged 32 tackles (14 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and four pass breakups.

Ruke Orhorhoro JAC DTJaguars' Ruke Orhorhoro: Flipped to Jacksonville
17h agoThe Jaguars acquired Orhorhoro from the Falcons on Friday in exchange for Maason Smith, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The two teams are swapping defensive tackles, both of whom were second-round picks in the 2024 Draft. After playing just 148 defensive snaps across eight regular-season appearances as a rookie, Orhorhoro appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2025 and posted 25 tackles (12 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one pass breakup. He'll go to a 4-3 defensive front in Jacksonville.

Jacoby Brissett ARI QBCardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Seeking raise to starter-level pay
21h agoBrissett isn't attending Phase 1 of Arizona's offseason program and is seeking an extension that will pay him commensurate with being a starting quarterback, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Brissett is scheduled to make $9.06 million in 2026 but has only $1.5 million in guaranteed money in his current contract. The Cardinals appear willing to address Brissett's request, per Rapoport. Until a new deal is agreed upon, the 33-year-old quarterback will likely remain away from team activities. Brissett started the final 12 games of the 2025 season for the Cardinals and is expected to serve as the team's starting quarterback in 2026, though he posted an uninspiring 1-11 record as a starter last season.

Will Anderson Jr. HOU DETexans' Will Anderson: Signs three-year, $150M extension
21h agoAnderson agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension with the Texans on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Anderson's extension includes $134 million in guaranteed money and gives him the highest salary in NFL history for a non-quarterback. This contract also includes a no-trade clause. The 2023 first-round pick has been among the most dominant defenders in the NFL since entering the league, generating 30.0 sacks through three regular seasons.

Quentin Johnston LAC WRChargers' Quentin Johnston: GM shuts down trade rumors
1d agoChargers general manager Joe Hortiz said Thursday that Johnston isn't on the trade block, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
"There's a lot of rumors out there on Twitter," Hortiz said. "And I can tell you this, I have made zero calls about Quentin, and I've had zero calls regarding Quentin." Johnston is heading into the fourth year of his rookie contract, and the Chargers have until May 1 to decide whether to pick up the 2023 first-round pick's $18.1 million fifth-year option for 2027. The 6-foot-2 wide receiver has recorded eight touchdown catches in each of the last two regular seasons, but Johnston has struggled with drops throughout his NFL career.

Nicholas Singleton 2005 RBNicholas Singleton: Healthy ahead of NFL Draft
2d agoSingleton (foot) has been medically cleared and has resumed running, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Singleton suffered a fractured fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot while attending the Senior Bowl in late January, but he is now back to full health ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. The running back figures to be a mid-round selection in the three-day event beginning next Thursday in Pittsburgh. Singleton finished off a record-setting four-year career at Penn State in 2025, racking up 549 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 123 carries while also reeling in 24 of 34 targets for 219 yards and a score over 12 contests in his final campaign.

Taijuan Walker PHI SPPhillies' Taijuan Walker: Hit hard in Friday's loss
3m agoWalker (1-3) took the loss Friday as the Phillies were routed 9-0 by Atlanta, coughing up seven runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.
The right-hander served up homers to Austin Riley in the second inning and Dominic Smith in the third, the second time in four starts that Walker has been taken deep multiple times. It's been a brutal beginning to the year for the 33-year-old, and he carries a 9.16 ERA, 2.04 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB through 18.2 innings. Zack Wheeler (shoulder) will make what could be his final rehab start Sunday, but that schedule would allow Walker to get one more turn through the rotation on the road next week against the Cubs before being replaced.
-
Austin Riley ATL 3BBraves' Austin Riley: Powers rout with two homers
9m agoRiley went 2-for-5 with two home run and five RBI in Friday's 9-0 win over the Phillies.
The third baseman went 18 games without a long ball to begin the season, but Riley has now gone yard three times in the last two contests after he launched a couple opposite-field homers Friday -- a three-run shot off a Taijuan Walker cutter in the third inning, and a solo blast on a Chase Shugart fastball in the ninth. Riley also has five multi-hit performances in the last nine games, a stretch in which he's slashing .316/.381/.632 with three doubles, two steals, 10 runs and 11 RBI.
-
Isaac Collins KC LFRoyals' Isaac Collins: In Saturday's lineup
13m agoCollins (knee) will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh during Saturday's game against the Yankees.
Collins missed the Royals' last three games after bruising his right knee during Tuesday's contest, but he was available off the bench Friday and will make his return to the starting nine Saturday. He'd been in a bit of a cold spell before getting hurt, going 3-for-18 at the plate over his last seven games.
-
Martin Perez ATL SPBraves' Martin Perez: Blanks Philly for first win
15m agoPerez (1-1) picked up the win Friday, allowing four hits and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 9-0 rout of the Phillies. He struck out four.
On paper at least, it's been a hectic week for the veteran southpaw. Perez started for Atlanta last Saturday, was DFA'ed on Sunday as the team scrambles to patch together its staff in the wake of injuries, elected to become a free agent Tuesday, re-signed a minor-league deal with the club Wednesday, and was added back to the 26-man roster Friday to make his next start. The transactional shenanigans didn't faze Perez at all, as he tossed 59 of 94 pitches for strikes while delivering his first quality start of 2026. Through four outings (three starts) he's produced a 2.21 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB through 20.1 innings, but his hold on a rotation spot is precarious as the organization clearly views the 35-year-old as expendable. He's set to make his next trip to the mound on the road next week against the Nationals, but with Spencer Strider (oblique) having begun a rehab assignment and top prospects Didier Fuentes and JR Ritchie both pitching well at Triple-A Gwinnett, each Perez start could be his last for Atlanta.
-
Salvador Perez KC CRoyals' Salvador Perez: Idle Saturday
17m agoPerez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
Perez will catch a breather Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Carter Jensen will handle catching duties for the Royals instead while Isaac Collins starts as the DH and Lane Thomas patrols left field.
-
Tanner Bibee CLE SPGuardians' Tanner Bibee: Strong start wasted Friday
27m agoBibee came away with a no-decision in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles, allowing four hits and three walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
The quality start was the first of 2026 for Bibee but he remains winless, exiting the mound after 96 pitches (60 strikes) with the game still scoreless before both offenses got frisky against the bullpens. Bibee is still trying to find a rhythm on the young season, and he'll take a 4.81 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB through 24.1 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Astros.

Stephen Curry GS PGWarriors' Stephen Curry: Can't play hero again
8m agoCurry tallied 17 points (4-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 36 minutes during the Warriors' 111-96 loss to the Suns in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament.
Curry was the hero of the Warriors' comeback victory against the Clippers on Wednesday, but the two-time MVP couldn't replicate that success Friday, finishing with a minus-13 point differential while connecting on just 25.0 percent of his field-goal attempts. It was a disappointing 2025-26 campaign for Curry, who was limited to just 43 regular-season games due to various injuries, including a knee injury that cost him 27 straight games from early February to early April. He ended the regular-season averaging 26.6 points, 4.7 assists (a career low), 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 4.4 threes over 30.9 minutes per game.
-
Oso Ighodaro PHO CSuns' Oso Ighodaro: Drops 10 points in spot start
8h agoIghodaro provided 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game win over Golden State.
With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Ighodaro moved back into the starting lineup. Although he was able to chip in across the board, it was far from a dominant performance. Phoenix will now face Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs. Assuming Williams is cleared to return, expect to see Ighodaro coming off the bench, likely playing around 23 minutes per night.
-
Jalen Green PHO SGSuns' Jalen Green: Powers Phoenix to victory
8h agoGreen logged 36 points (14-20 FG, 8-14 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 40 minutes during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game win over the Warriors.
Green scored at least 35 points for the second straight game, leading Phoenix to a comfortable win over Golden State and propelling the team into the playoffs. While it has been a frustrating season for Green, he appears to be peaking at just the right time. However, he will undoubtedly be a focus for Oklahoma City, meaning his recent production could be hard to maintain.
-
Jordan Goodwin PHO SGSuns' Jordan Goodwin: Season-high six steals
9h agoGoodwin posted 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and six steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game victory over the Warriors.
Goodwin played a significant role on both ends of the floor to help vault the Suns into the playoffs, where the Thunder awaits. Although Grayson Allen (hamstring) was cleared to play, the coaching staff opted to keep him on ice, allowing Goodwin to remain in the starting lineup. He finished the night just one rebound short of a double-double while also recording a season-high six steals.
-
Gary Payton II GS PGWarriors' Gary Payton: Poor production continues
9h agoPayton finished Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to the Suns with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes.
Payton scored no more than six points for the third straight game, closing out what was an indifferent season. Although he was well outside the top 200, his efforts over the final month were far improved. In 14 games during that time, he averaged 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals, good enough for top-100 value.
-
Brandin Podziemski GS SGWarriors' Brandin Podziemski: Double-doubles in loss Friday
9h agoPodziemski recorded 23 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to the Suns.
Podziemski left it all on the floor, recording his sixth double-double of the season. On the whole, it was a relatively successful season for Podziemski, as he played in all 82 regular-season games and both Play-In tilts. With averages of 14.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.9 three-pointers, he is likely to remain on the radar heading into drafts next season.
-
Dan Vladar PHI GFlyers' Dan Vladar: Set to start Game 1
35m agoVladar will defend the road cage in Pittsburgh for Game 1 on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Vladar was a major reason why the Flyers are in the playoffs. He turned the Flyers' fortunes around, giving them solid netminding all season, as he posted a 29-14-7 record with a 2.42 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 52 regular-season contests. He struggled against the Penguins this season, going 1-1-0, allowing eight goals on only 50 shots.

Roby Jarventie EDM LWOilers' Roby Jarventie: Pots pair of goals in AHL win
9h agoJarventie scored twice in AHL Bakersfield's 5-2 win over San Jose on Friday.
Jarventie has managed 23 goals and 47 points over 60 outings this season. The winger has six goals and four assists over his last six games for the Condors. Jarventie could be a call-up option during the Oilers' playoff run given his recent scoring success.
-
Sam Poulin EDM RW
Oilers' Samuel Poulin: Scores twice Friday
9h agoPoulin scored two goals in AHL Bakersfield's 5-2 win over San Jose on Friday.
Poulin's offense has reached another level this season with 21 goals and 49 points over 70 appearances between Bakersfield and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Both of those marks are career highs for him. Poulin hasn't made his Oilers debut yet since he was dealt from the Penguins as part of the Tristan Jarry trade.
-
Kenny Connors LA C
Kings' Kenny Connors: Three-point effort Friday
9h agoConnors scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Ontario's 4-1 win over San Diego on Friday.
Connors crossed the 40-point mark for the season with this effort. He's at 15 goals, 41 points and a plus-18 rating over 65 outings this season as an AHL rookie. He also made two regular-season appearances in the NHL, but it could be a while before he's a regular for the Kings.
-
Nikita Alexandrov LA CKings' Nikita Alexandrov: Logs three points in AHL win
9h agoAlexandrov scored twice and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 4-1 win over San Diego on Friday.
Alexandrov has four goals and four assists over his last five outings. For the season, he's produced 16 goals, 40 assists, 144 shots and a minus-20 rating over 66 appearances between Ontario and Springfield. Ontario is the top team in the AHL's Pacific Division, so Alexandrov may be in line for a lengthy playoff run with the team.
-
Tristen Nielsen COL CAvalanche's Tristen Nielsen: Buries pair of goals in AHL loss
10h agoNielsen scored twice in AHL Colorado's 5-2 loss to Calgary on Friday.
Nielsen has four goals and three assists over his last five games. For the year, he's at a career-best 28 goals and 49 points over 66 appearances. Nielsen will look to keep rolling in the AHL postseason, and he's under contract with the Avalanche for 2026-27.
