Report: Niners Could Still Trade Brandon Aiyuk

Apr 24, 2024 8:39 AM

The San Francisco 49ers have said several times this offseason that they want to keep Brandon Aiyuk over the long-term, but a new report goes against that.

An Aiyuk trade hasn't been ruled out and "anything's possible," according to Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The 49ers reportedly want a 2024 first-round pick for Aiyuk.

Decision Imminent On Eagles, Falcons Tampering Charges

Apr 23, 2024 8:24 AM

The NFL will soon announce punishments for tampering charges against both the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles during this year's free agency period.

The punishment for the Falcons is expected to be more severe as Kirk Cousins admitted on-the-record that he communicated with Atlanta's athletic trainer and head of public relations before the new league year.

Saquon Barkley's college head coach at Penn State, James Franklin, alluded to Barkley and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman speaking on the phone before such communication was allowed.

The Miami Dolphins lost their 2023 first-round draft choice and a 2024 third-rounder for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton three different times from 2019 through 2022. Owner Stephen Ross was fined $1.5 million, and team vice chair and limited partner Bruce Beal received a $500,000 fine. 

The Kansas City Chiefs lost their 2016 third-rounder and a 2017 sixth-round choice for tampering with wide receiver Jeremy Maclin in 2015.

John Lynch: Niners 'Having Good Talks' With Brandon Aiyuk

Apr 23, 2024 8:16 AM

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch discussed Brandon Aiyuk's contract situation while meeting with the media on Monday.

"I've communicated on many occasions: our wish is that he's here and part of the Niners for the rest of his career," Lynch said. "We're working through that ... I can say we're having good talks, and I'm just going to leave it at that."

Aiyuk is coming off a 75-catch, 1,342-yard, 7-touchdown season that landed him a second-team All-Pro nod. He is scheduled to play the 2024 season on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal. That contract is slated to come with a $14.124 million salary cap hit.

Lynch acknowledged that he has received calls from other teams interested in Aiyuk but again made it clear there is no desire to trade him.

"We're really focused on BA being part of us," Lynch said.

Patriots Open To Trading Out Of No. 3

Apr 18, 2024 1:23 PM

The New England Patriots are open to trading the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, but are also comfortable keeping the selection for a quarterback. 

Eliot Wolf described trade discussions with other teams as "ongoing" while adding: "We have some holes we feel like we need to fill in the draft. We're a draft-and-develop team; the more picks we have, the better."

The Patriots enter next week's draft with eight total selections, headlined by the No. 3 pick and selections at the top of the second (No. 34) and third (68) rounds. 

Caleb Williams is expected to go No. 1 to the Chicago Bears, while the Washington Commanders are widely expected to pick Jayden Daniels at No. 2. The Patriots could consider Drake Maye, J.J. McCarthy or Michael Penix Jr. at No. 3.

Rick Spielman: Vikings Will Have To 'Overpay' To Draft QB

Apr 9, 2024 8:30 AM

The Minnesota Vikings have the No. 11 and No. 23 overall picks in this month's NFL Draft, but they won't be in position to draft a potential franchise-changing quarterback.

Rick Spielman, the team's former general manager and current CBS analyst, believes the Vikings would have to part ways with a huge haul in order to take a quarterback like J.J. McCarthy.

"I heard a lot of things that Minnesota thought he had an excellent pro day up there and fits exactly what Kevin O'Connell wants to do from an offensive standpoint," Spielman said on the 'With the First Pick" podcast. "But they're just not gonna get it with the two first-round picks.

"They're gonna have to throw in their first-round pick in 2025, plus some more draft capital, to do what they have to do to go up and get it." 

Sam Darnold is currently the Vikings starting quarterback.

Texans Acquire Stefon Diggs From Bills For 2025 2nd Rounder

Apr 3, 2024 10:57 AM

The Houston Texans have agreed to acquire Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills for Minnesota's 2025 second round pick. The Texans will also receive a 2024 sixth round pick and a 2025 fifth round pick.

Digs signed a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the Bills in 2022. There was an expectation that Diggs and the Bills would restructure his contract this offseason. Buffalo will carry a $31 million dead cap number in 2024 following the trade.

During the 2023 season, Diggs caught 107 balls for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns. 

Diggs is represented by Adisa Bakari.
