DeShon Elliott PIT SAFSteelers' DeShon Elliott: Inks new three-year contract
3h agoElliot signed a new three-year contract with the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
It was initially reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network mid-June that Elliott and Pittsburgh had agreed to terms on a two-year, $12.5 million extension, but the safety's new deal is officially a three-year contract instead. In any case, Elliott is now positioned to remain with the Steelers long-term rather than have his contract expire after the 2025 season. He tallied a career-high 108 tackles (72 solo), six pass breakups (including one interception), two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries across 15 regular-season games in 2024.

Aaron Rodgers PIT QBSteelers' Aaron Rodgers: Anticipates retiring after 2025
7h agoRodgers said Tuesday on The Pat McAfee Show he's "pretty sure" the 2025 season will be his last in the NFL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
"I'm pretty sure this is my last season and that's why we did the one-year deal," Rodgers said, referring to the one-year, $13.65 million contract he inked early June. The relatively team-friendly deal for Pittsburgh includes $10 million in guaranteed money and carries a maximum value of $19.5 million, with no cap hit lingering beyond the 2025 campaign. Rodgers, who turns 42 in December, said there's "no better way" to finish his career than with the Steelers, a team that earned a 10-7 record and playoff berth with a combination of Justin Fields and Russell Wilson under center in 2024, before being eliminated in the Wild Card round by Baltimore. With the hope of improved quarterback play from Rodgers, who Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports already began establishing a rapport with new top wideout DK Metcalf at mandatory minicamp, Pittsburgh indeed appears well-positioned to make some noise in the AFC in what is shaping up to be the veteran signal-caller's swan song.

Yasir Durant NE OTPatriots' Yasir Durant: Finds work with New England
20h agoThe Patriots signed Durant (undisclosed) to a one-year contract Monday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Durant spent this past spring with the UFL's DC Defenders and was named to the All-UFL Team for the 2025 season. The 27-year-old offensive lineman appeared in 19 regular-season games across three seasons with the Chiefs, Patriots and Saints from 2020-2022 and will look to win a job with New England this summer.

Perrion Winfrey DAL DTCowboys' Perrion Winfrey: Signs with Dallas
20h agoThe Cowboys signed Winfrey (ankle) on Monday.
Winfrey entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick by the Browns in 2022, and he appeared in 13 regular-season games as a rookie. He was cut the following summer and played in one game for the Jets in 2023 before spending the 2024 campaign out of the league. Winfrey played in the UFL with the Birmingham Stallions this spring and recently was named to the All-UFL Team. It was enough to earn Winfrey another chance to prove himself with an NFL club.

Tre Harris LAC WRChargers' Tre Harris: Building early momentum
1d agoHarris stood out in contested-catch situations during OTAs and mandatory minicamp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Harris appears to be successfully building early chemistry with QB Justin Herbert, of whom he said at mandatory minicamp, "Every throw he's made to me has been right on the money," per Omar Navarro of the Chargers' official site. The rookie second-round pick said his largest focus at this stage of the offseason, however, has been working closely with wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal to learn offensive coordinator Greg Roman's playbook. Despite getting a tremendous boost from 2024 second-round pick Ladd McConkey last season, Los Angeles' offense struggled at times to threaten opposing defenses downfield. Harris' skill set seemingly makes him an ideal candidate to fill that weakness, with Gavino Borquez of USA Today noting that the expectation should be for the rookie second-rounder to establish himself as Herbert's go-to deep threat early. Harris' primary competition for targets behind McConkey in Roman's run-heavy scheme will be Quentin Johnston and Mike Williams.

Marvin Harrison Jr. ARI WRCardinals' Marvin Harrison: Cardinals anticipating Year 2 leap
1d agoArizona's coaching staff expects Harrison to take a substantial step forward in 2025 after his uneven rookie season, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports.
Harrison has reportedly bulked up noticeably this offseason, a development that will hopefully help the No. 4 overall pick of the 2024 Draft improve in contested-catch situations in Year 2. Despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games as a rookie and acting as the Cardinals' top wide receiver, Harrison managed just a 62-885-8 line on 116 targets, finishing as a distant second in pass-catching production compared to TE Trey McBride. QB Kyler Murray said at mandatory minicamp that he's observed improved confidence from Harrison, who will turn 23 in August. That Arizona didn't notably add to the pass-catching corps in either free agency or the 2025 Draft can only be interpreted as a vote of confidence that Harrison will indeed follow through on a notable leap this year, a development that will require him to translate his added strength and size into an ability to more consistently beat opposing cornerbacks downfield, and to do so without noticeably sacrificing speed. He'll have every opportunity to emerge as a true top wideout in 2025, at least, as Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Zay Jones don't represent genuine competition to the target shares of either Harrison or McBride.

Max Meyer MIA SPMarlins' Max Meyer: Out for season
3m agoMeyer is scheduled to undergo season-ending labral repair surgery on his left hip Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The recovery timeline for Meyer's surgery is roughly 6-8 months, which means his season has officially come to an early end. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with a 4.73 ERA and 1.42 WHIP alongside a 68:20 K:BB earned across 64.2 innings (12 starts).

Drew Millas WAS CNationals' Drew Millas: Recalled to big leagues
20m agoThe Nationals recalled Millas from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Millas has spent the entire season in Triple-A, where he's slashed .247/.306/.374 across 209 plate appearances. With Keibert Ruiz (head) headed to the injured list, Millas will join the big club to act as the backup catcher behind Riley Adams.

Keibert Ruiz WAS CNationals' Keibert Ruiz: Lands on injured list
22m agoThe Nationals placed Ruiz on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a head contusion.
A foul ball connected with Ruiz's head during Monday's contest, though after evaluation, it seems he managed to escape the incident with only a bruise. Riley Adams will take over as the Nationals' primary catcher while Ruiz is out, and Drew Millas will come up from Triple-A Rochester to provide depth behind the plate.

Bryce Harper PHI 1BPhillies' Bryce Harper: Going through pre-game routine
1h agoHarper (wrist) will go through his usual pre-game routine prior to Tuesday's game against the Astros, though he isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the series, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The routine includes about 50 swings, fielding grounders and going through a throwing program, and if all goes well, he could take batting practice Wednesday. Harper continues to progress in his recovery from right wrist inflammation, and he appears to be lining up to rejoin the Phillies this weekend or next week, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, though there's officially no timeline for his return.

Ken Waldichuk ATH SPAthletics' Ken Waldichuk: Set for another rehab start
1h agoWaldichuk (elbow) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Waldichuk tossed three scoreless innings, allowing one hit while hitting a batter and striking out four in a rehab start with Single-A Stockton on Sunday. He will now shift his minor-league rehab assignment to Las Vegas as he reaches the final stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery in May 2024. Waldichuk last pitched with the Athletics in 2023, posting a 5.36 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with 132 strikeouts over 141 innings in 35 appearances, including 22 starts.

Shea Langeliers ATH CAthletics' Shea Langeliers: Set to begin rehab assignment
1h agoLangeliers (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Langeliers has been out since June 6 while recovering from a left oblique strain, but he appears to be on the cusp of a return to action. The catcher is already eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list, so he will likely only require a few days with Las Vegas. Prior to going down with the injury, Langeliers had recorded at least one hit in six of the last eight games, compiling four doubles, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored over that stretch.

Terance Mann ATL SGNets' Terance Mann: Shipped to Brooklyn
33m agoThe Hawks traded Mann and the No. 22 pick to the Nets on Tuesday as part of a three-team deal that also sent Georges Niang and a second-rounder to the Celtics and brought Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to Atlanta, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Mann was acquired by the Hawks from the Clippers in February and is now being rerouted to the Nets as part of this blockbuster trade to help the Celtics get under the second apron. The 28-year-old saw a slight statistical dip during the 2024-25 regular season but remained a solid contributor, averaging 7.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 49.6 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from three across 21.1 minutes in 67 games. With the offseason still unfolding, Mann could be in line for an expanded role in Brooklyn.

Georges Niang ATL PFCeltics' Georges Niang: Headed to Boston
33m agoThe Hawks traded Niang and a second-round pick to the Celtics on Tuesday in a three-team deal that sent Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick back to Atlanta, and Terance Mann and the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to the Nets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Niang was traded from the Cavaliers to the Hawks in February of 2025 and averaged 12.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.0 minutes across his 28 regular-season appearances for Atlanta. Due to Jayson Tatum (Achilles) potentially being out for all of 2025-26, Niang could compete for a starting role in the Celtics' forward rotation. This trade, combined with swapping Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons, has dropped the Celtics below the second apron.

Kristaps Porzingis BOS CHawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Shipped to Atlanta
44m agoThe Celtics traded Porzingis and a second-round pick to the Hawks on Tuesday in a three-team deal that will send Terance Mann and the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to the Nets, while Georges Niang and a second-round pick head to Boston, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After being a key contributor to Boston's title charge in 2023-24, Porzingis played just 42 regular-season games in 2024-25, and an illness made him a relative non-factor in the team's playoff loss to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. While Porzingis has consistently dealt with injuries throughout his career, he is an elite floor-spacing big man with efficient scoring and premier shot-blocking abilities when healthy. In Atlanta, Porzingis will likely be a prominent pick-and-roll partner with Trae Young and could play alongside either Jalen Johnson or Onyeka Okongwu in the frontcourt. Porzingis is under contract for only one more season.

Dru Smith MIA SGHeat's Dru Smith: Qualifying offer extended
3h agoThe Heat extended a qualifying offer to Smith (Achilles) on Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Smith, who was on a two-way contract with Miami in 2024-25, is now set to become a restricted free agent. Smith underwent surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon back in December, putting his status for Opening Night of 2025-26 in doubt. It's not a surprise that the Heat want to keep him around, however, as he was outstanding in 14 regular-season appearances with 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals on 50.8 percent shooting from the field in 19.1 minutes per contest.
-
Davion Mitchell MIA PGHeat's Davion Mitchell: Extended a qualifying offer
4h agoThe Heat extended a qualifying offer to Mitchell on Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
This was essentially a formality for Miami. By extending this qualifying offer, Mitchell becomes a restricted free agent, allowing the Heat to match any offers from outside clubs. Mitchell thrived in 30 regular-season contests for Miami, putting up averages of 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals while shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 44.7 percent from beyond the arc.

DaRon Holmes II DEN PFNuggets' DaRon Holmes: To play Summer League
4h agoHolmes (Achilles) said Tuesday that he will participate in the Summer League, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
The No. 22 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Holmes missed the entire 2024-25 season while recovering from a torn right Achilles tendon he suffered in the Las Vegas Summer League in July of 2024. If Holmes can put together a strong offseason, it's not out of the question that he could win the backup center role behind Nikola Jokic ahead of Opening Night.

Matt Martin NYI LWIslanders' Matt Martin: Announces retirement
4h agoMartin announced Tuesday his retirement from playing in the NHL.
Martin, a physical fourth-line presence, accounted for 81 goals, 178 points, 1,168 PIM and 3,931 hits across 987 regular-season appearances between the Islanders and Maple Leafs. The 36-year-old Martin will continue to work for the Islanders after being hired by the team as a special assistant to general manager Mathieu Darche.

Adam Edstrom NYR CRangers' Adam Edstrom: Lands two-year contract
1d agoEdstrom (lower body) signed a two-year, $1.95 million contract with the Rangers on Monday.
Edstrom earned five goals, four assists, 40 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 94 hits across 51 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. He sustained a lower-body injury against Boston on Feb. 1 and missed the final 31 games of the year. However, he should be ready for the beginning of training camp after having surgery to address the issue. Edstrom could occupy a bottom-six role with the Rangers going into the 2025-26 campaign.
-
Justin Kirkland CGY LWFlames' Justin Kirkland: Agrees to one-year deal
1d 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
1d 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
1d 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
1d 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.
