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.

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.

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 […]

Caitlin Clark continues to shine with celebrity shoutouts

In an exhibition game where the Hawkeyes played against the DePaul Blue Demons at Kinnick Stadium on Oct. 15, more than 55,000 fans trickled in to cheer them on.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — A look at what’s happening around the New York Jets: 1. Joe cap: Who would you rather have on your team, Laken Tomlinson and C.J.
