The Broncos' defensive cutdown continues. After releasing A.J. Bouye last week, Denver is now parting ways with veteran defensive lineman Jurrell Casey, too.

The Russell Wilson drama continues in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that while the Seahawks' franchise quarterback has not formally requested a trade and would like to stay in Seattle, he would accept trades to the Cowboys, Saints, Raiders, and Bears.

As the J.J. Watt sweepstakes continue, a new nugget of information has been dropped. Dianna Russini of ESPN reports that Watt has several offers on the table, including one that would pay him between $15 million and $16 million per year.

In an interesting development, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network speculates that the Raiders could release backup quarterback Marcus Mariota rather than trade him.

The Texans have released defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes with a non-football injury designation, creating roughly $990,000 in cap space.

The Royals have signed veteran reliever Brad Brach to a minor league deal and invited him to Spring Training.

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn announced Garrett Crochet, the team's first-round pick last summer, is expected to open the 2021 season in the major league bullpen.

Michael Kopech may have missed all of 2019 and 2020 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but the White Sox organization still expects him to grace the top of their rotation for years to come. "Long term, we still view him as a premium starter," said general manager Rick Hahn.

Veteran infielder Dee Strange-Gordon is expected to see time at shortstop this spring. Manager David Bell confirmed on Wednesday that "he'll get opportunities" at the position.

On Monday, Richard Sherman announced that he intends to play for just two more years. Now, we are learning that the impending free agent won't return to the 49ers in 2021. During a phone call with The Sacramento Bee, Sherman said, “It’s been made pretty clear. It was a good conversation, nothing crazy. Just a good conversation about where they are and where I am, and their plans. We were both very positive and as good as you can be in a situation like this.”
