The Jacksonville Jaguars have released Jason Myers following his missed field goals in two of the past three games.

The Jaguars will sign Josh Lambo to replace him.

49ers Backed Out Of NaVorro Bowman Trade With Saints

Oct 15, 2017 9:31 AM

The San Francisco 49ers had agreed upon a trade of NaVorro Bowman to the New Orleans Saints for a seventh round draft pick. But the 49ers backed out of the deal when they learned Bowman preferred to become a free agent and choose his next team.

"Lots of teams [are] trying to sign" Bowman now that he's a free agent, according to one source, and it will take "a few days" for him to make a decision.

The 49ers also spoke with the Ravens, Browns and Panthers. The Oakland Raiders are another possible destination as a contending team that wouldn't force Bowman to relocate.

49ers Release NaVorro Bowman

Oct 13, 2017 7:13 PM

The San Francisco 49ers have released NaVorro Bowman.

"Thursday evening, [49ers coach] Kyle [Shanahan] and I met with NaVorro, and from our conversation it became evident that going in different directions was best for both him and our team," 49ers general manager John Lynch said in a statement. "Although NaVorro may be moving on, he will always be looked at as one of the great players to wear the red and gold. We wish him and his family great success."

The 49ers were shopping Bowman in trade talks earlier on Friday.

A knee injury kept Bowman out for the entire 2014 season, and an Achilles injury ended his season in 2016 after just four games.

Lack Of Familiarity With Offense Led Titans To Bypass Colin Kaepernick

Oct 4, 2017 9:54 PM

Mike Mularkey said familiarity was the biggest factor in the Tennessee Titans' decision to sign Brandon Weeden.

The Titans considered several quarterbacks but not Colin Kaepernick.

"I'm not aware if there was," Mularkey said of interest in Kaepernick. "I know he's not familiar with our offense. I know T.J. Yates had some experience with it in Atlanta and with us for a couple of weeks."

The Titans' front office makes decisions on who to bring in for workouts. Mularkey cited Weeden's time in Dallas with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who Mularkey pulled from to create his scheme, as a prime source of familiarity.

"As quickly as we could get somebody up to speed in a short amount of time, he had the advantage over everybody," said Mularkey, who said Weeden "threw the ball well" Wednesday. "Formationally and schematically, it's very similar."
