GM John Lynch says 49ers ‘having good talks’ with Brandon Aiyuk

Lynch opened Monday’s session by spending the first three minutes thanking his personnel department for their work leading up to this week’s draft. He then offered a disclaimer on Aiyuk before inevitably receiving multiple questions about him. “I’ve communicated on many occasions: our wish is that he’s here and part of the Niners for the […]

2023 NFL mock draft with all trades: Deals for 32 first-round picks

So much of why trades occur has to do with the unique universe in which the draft exists. If the Cardinals decided to move on from quarterback Kyler Murray last offseason, they wouldn’t have traded the No. 3 overall pick to the Texans for edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. Which means the Texans might instead […]

49ers are back in first round of NFL draft after two years off

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — As the first round of the NFL draft unfolded in each of the past two years, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan spent those nights sharing the same feeling: boredom. The malaise was the product of a trade the Niners made in 2021, dealing their first-round […]

Titans turning attention to draft after big free agency

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After making several high-profile free agent additions and a major trade acquisition, the Tennessee Titans brass is turning its attention to the 2024 NFL draft.

New contract for Brandon Aiyuk? Why 49ers aren’t thinking trade

Each of those deals — tight end George Kittle (2020), linebacker Fred Warner (2021), receiver Deebo Samuel (2022) and end Nick Bosa (2023) — offered a unique challenge with varying degrees of tension. Samuel’s negotiations were the most contentious, including a trade request that wasn’t granted. Bosa’s deal took the longest, nearly keeping him out […]

Speculation about Aiyuk’s future with the team has persisted for more than a year and reached a crescendo this offseason as Aiyuk prepares for the final year on his rookie contract. That includes rumored trades all over the NFL map, including to Tomlin’s Steelers. Speaking to a small group of reporters Monday afternoon at the […]

49ers take quantity-based approach to reinforcing defensive line

In what was easily their biggest D-line makeover since coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch arrived in 2017, the Niners agreed to deals with three defensive linemen — ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos and tackle Jordan Elliott — from the outside, traded for another (tackle Maliek Collins) and re-signed one of their […]

Commanders use free agency to add familiarity, leadership

The Washington Commanders had a lot of salary cap space (approximately $90 million) and plenty of holes to fill. With a new general manager and coach, it led the Commanders down a path of rebuilding a roster yet doing so while protecting their future. Washington signed 20 players in free agency, including four of their […]

What will Washington do at No. 2?

ASHBURN, Va. — Washington sat in this same scenario four years ago: a new coach, armed with the second pick in the draft. But what the Commanders didn’t have then that they appear to have now are options. In 2020, Washington had a quarterback the owner favored in Dwayne Haskins, whom they used the 15th […]
