Buccaneers Would Like To Trade Or Extend Mike Glennon

Mar 30, 2016 11:41 AM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers would like to either extend the contract of Mike Glennon or trade him.

Glennon is one of the NFL's better backups at quarterback.

"We're open to discuss things, we have been open, we've been talking to a lot of teams," Jason Licht told Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio last week. "That's dwindled now to a few teams. We're still talking.

"At some point we're going to make a decision whether or not we're going to keep him. He's a super asset for us now. And when I say keep him, keep him now -- try to keep him long-term, extend him for a couple years. Having a backup quarterback that we think has starting ability is a huge asset for us."

49ers To Keep Colin Kaepernick Unless They're 'Blown Away' By Offer

Mar 30, 2016 11:41 AM

The San Francisco 49ers plan on keeping Colin Kaepernick through the deadline of when his contract becomes fully guaranteed on April 1st unless they are "blown away" by an offer.

The Denver Broncos are the only team still legitimately interested in Kaepernick. John Elway values Kaepernick at a fourth round pick level.

Kaepernick's $11.9 million base salary will be fully guaranteed for 2016 on April 1st.

Trent Baalke and Chip Kelly both reiterated over the past month that they want him as their QB for 2016.

Jets, Browns No Longer Interested In Colin Kaepernick

Mar 27, 2016 1:44 PM

The New York Jets and Cleveland Browns are no longer pursuing Colin Kaepernick.

The Browns signed Robert Griffin III this week.

Kaepernick is left with the Denver Broncos as his only remaining logical suitor.

Kaepernick's $11.9 million salary becomes fully guaranteed on April 1 and the San Francisco 49ers do not plan to cut him before that date.

The Broncos would have to trade for Kaepernick and the 49ers have so far been unwilling to deal him without a substantial return.

Chip Kelly On Kaepernick: He Got Hurt, He Didn't Fall Off

Mar 23, 2016 12:02 PM

Chip Kelly and Trent Baalke have differing opinions on why Colin Kaepernick lost his job last season as starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers.

“It’s not like his skill set diminished," Kelly told Denver's 9 News Tuesday. "I mean he went on injured reserve last year. He only played half the season. He was legitimately injured. He’s in the process of rehabbing right now – he had a shoulder, had a thumb, had a knee. That’s where when people look at where he fell off -- he didn’t fall off. He got hurt."

When Kaepernick went to injured reserve, Baalke claimed the injury had nothing to do with the benching.

Kaepernick suffered the shoulder injury -- a torn left labrum -- in an Oct. 4 loss to the Packers. The thumb tear came Oct. 22 against the Seahawks and the knee injury in the following game against the Rams.

Kaepernick's agents have been seeking a trade, but Kelly continues to lobby for him to remain with the 49ers.

Kelly said he's spoken regularly to Kaepernick and that the quarterback "knows I'd love to have him."

Jim Harbaugh Prepared To Give Glowing Recommendation For Kaepernick

Mar 22, 2016 7:19 PM

Jim Harbaugh says no NFL teams have called him for an evaluation of Colin Kaepernick, but he's prepared to give a glowing recommendation.

Harbaugh was the San Francisco 49ers' coach when Kaepernick was drafted by the team in 2011 and had his greatest success in the NFL.

Kaepernick's agents requested permission from the 49ers on Feb. 26 to seek a trade for their client.

"Anybody that talks to me is going to get a great recommendation that's going to knock their socks off," Harbaugh told the newspaper in a telephone interview.

Browns Call Colin Kaepernick Trade Reports 'Way Over-Reported'

Mar 21, 2016 2:04 PM

Sashi Brown says the possibility of the Cleveland Browns trading with the San Francisco 49ers for Colin Kaepernick has been "way over-reported."

The 49ers reportedly reached out to the Browns to gauge their interest in Kaepernick.

The Browns also have some level of interest in Robert Griffin III.

Cleveland won't bring in both Kaepernick and Griffin.

Titans Want 'King's Ransom' For Top Overall Oick

Mar 21, 2016 1:10 PM

The Tennessee Titans own the top overall pick and will have a high asking price to trade down.

The Titans are widely projected to take Laremy Tunsil with the first overall pick.

"There is a group of players that are at the top of the draft, that, you don't want to move back too far cause you can miss out on one of those guys, and if you do move back that far you want to make sure that you have a king's ransom, for lack of a better term, to move that far," GM Jon Robinson said, according to ESPN. "I would say that for us to move out of that pick, it's going to take a substantial amount of picks to do that."

49ers Likely To Keep Colin Kaepernick Past April 1st

Mar 18, 2016 7:09 PM

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to keep Colin Kaepernick past April 1st when his $11.9 million base salary for 2016 becomes guaranteed.

The 49ers, however, will look to trade Kaepernick before or during the April 28th-30th draft.

Last week, the Broncos, Jets and Browns each expressed interest in Kaepernick, but nothing was imminent.

Chip Kelly Talks With Kaepernick, Wants Him On 49ers

Mar 17, 2016 7:47 PM

Colin Kaepernick would like a trade from the San Francisco 49ers but Chip Kelly would like him to remain with the franchise.

Kelly said he talked to Kaepernick earlier this week and is staying hopeful he won't be traded when the offseason program begins on April 4th.

"I'd love to have him. I'm a big Kap fan," Kelly said Thursday after Stanford's pro day.

Last month, Kelly professed his commitment to Kaepernick during the NFL combine, only to have reports emerge soon after that saying the quarterback's agents had asked general manager Trent Baalke to be traded from San Francisco.

Broncos Sign Russell Okung, Expected To Trade Ryan Clady

Mar 17, 2016 6:00 PM

The Denver Broncos have agreed upon a five-year deal with Russell Okung of the Seattle Seahawks.

The Broncos are now expected to trade Ryan Clady.

A source told ESPN's Josina Anderson the contract is worth an average of $10.6 million per season ($11.2 million maximum if he reaches incentives).

Okung, who comes to the Broncos after six seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, was the first pick (sixth overall) of the Pete Carroll/John Schneider era back in 2010.
