Browns Likely To Add Running Back

Jun 20, 2023 8:27 AM

The Cleveland Browns are likely to add a running back before the start of the 2023 season.

They won't re-sign Kareem Hunt reportedly because they feel he's lost some of his speed.

Behind Nick Chubb, Cleveland has Jerome Ford, Demetric Felton and John Kelly, Jr.

Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott are free agents, but a report states that the Browns won't add a "big-name back."

Stefon Diggs, Bills Differ On Whether He Was At Camp

Jun 13, 2023 4:27 PM

Sean McDermott said Stefon Diggs was not at mandatory minicamp with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday.

McDermott called Diggs' absence "very concerning" before Tuesday's minicamp practice. Diggs had missed voluntary workouts.

Diggs' agent, Adisa Bakari, told ESPN's Adam Schefter that his client is in Buffalo and has been there since Monday morning. He said Diggs took his physical, met with McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane the past two days and "will be there for the entirety of the minicamp."

The wide receiver signed a four-year, $96 million extension last offseason, and trading him would incur a significant dead cap hit, including $13.2 million this year.

Vikings' Danielle Hunter Planning To Skip Minicamp

Jun 13, 2023 8:09 AM

Danielle Hunter is planning to hold out from the Minnesota Vikings' mandatory minicamp this week as questions persist about his future with the team, a source has confirmed.

Hunter, 28, is entering the final year of a contract he originally signed in 2018. 

A renegotiation last year moved a portion of his future compensation up to 2022, leaving him with a deal that calls for him to earn a base salary of $4.9 million in 2023 with weekly roster bonuses that could total $500,000.

Skipping mandatory minicamp will subject him to mandatory fines of $16,459 for the first day and $32,920 for the second.
