Don’t expect 49ers to trade for Raiders superstar WR

A Davante Adams trade to the 49ers? Don’t count on it.

There was some speculation the San Francisco 49ers may want to get involved in the trade market for Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams when reports surfaced that Adams wanted out of Sin City.

Don’t expect such a blockbuster deal to happen.

While adding another offensive weapon is always enticing for teams looking to get over the hump and win a championship, it doesn’t appear Adams would be interested even if the 49ers wanted to make a deal.

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported teams around the NFL believe Adams is determined to orchestrate a trade to the New York Jets to reunite with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Jets make a ton of sense as a trade destination for Adams. They need wide receiver help, and Rodgers needs a receiver he knows he can rely on. New York is 2-2, 21st in the NFL in scoring, and 18th in passing.

For the 49ers it’s not the end of the world that they’re not likely to acquire Adams. Offensive firepower isn’t their issue, particularly if/when All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey returns.

Some speculated the 49ers could deal the struggling Brandon Aiyuk to Vegas, but that would have come with a massive dead cap hit that might have derailed any financial plans the team laid out during a busy offseason that saw McCaffrey, Aiyuk and left tackle Trent Williams all get new, expensive contracts.

Aiyuk isn’t liable to go anywhere anytime soon, especially with one of the only players available who would be able to match his production now ostensibly off the table.

National NFL writer proposes absurd trade between Titans and Browns

What would this hypothetical trade mean for Will Levis?

The Tennessee Titans are less than one week away from kicking off their 2024 season against the Chicago Bears.

Looking at the moves the Titans made this offseason, it’s easy to see that contending is the goal. Bringing in veterans like Calvin Ridley, L’Jarius Sneed, and Quandre Diggs, just to name a few, are not moves that “rebuilding” teams would make.

However, at least one national NFL writer still thinks the Titans are “in the middle of a rebuild” and may sell off parts at the trade deadline.

Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report proposed five trades before the 2024 season kicks off, and one of those trades is DeAndre Hopkins to the Cleveland Browns.

Regarding that hypothetical trade, Ballentine said the following:

Some of the Browns newly found financial freedom could be used to make one last major addition to the roster during the season.

DeAndre Hopkins is a logical hypothetical target. The 32-year-old showed he’s still got it with a 1,000-yard season in 2023, but the Titans are in the middle of a rebuild and the veteran is on the final year of his contract.

That’s not to mention the chemistry that Hopkins already has with Watson from their days together in Houston.

A receiving trio of Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and DeAndre Hopkins would leave Watson with no excuses not to return to Pro Bowl form.

Never mind that Hopkins has repeatedly reiterated his love for the city of Nashville, but why would the Titans trade away a veteran leader in a make-or-break year for their young QB?

Additionally, Ballentine didn’t even propose what the Titans would get in return.

Even if the Titans disappoint this season, it’s hard to imagine Hopkins getting shipped out mid-season. It’s much more likely the team signs Hopkins to a short-term extension than ship him out to an AFC rival during the season.

Are the Commanders a threat to swoop in and trade for 49ers All-Pro WR?

Are the Commanders suddenly a threat to swoop in and trade for Brandon Aiyuk?

What happened to the Washington Commanders?

The San Francisco 49ers gave wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk permission to talk to the Commanders and three other teams at the outset of their trade discussions. The 49ers have worked out deals with three of those teams – the Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers.

It never seemed like the Commanders were in the mix despite Aiyuk’s apparent desire to play there.

The San Francisco Chronicle’s Mike Silver and NFL Media’s Peter Schrager have both recently floated the Commanders idea again after Washington acquired an additional third-round pick in a trade that sent wide receiver Jahan Dotson to the Eagles.

There are plenty of dots to connect between the teams. Commanders general manager Adam Peters was in the 49ers’ front office for the entire Kyle Shanahan-John Lynch tenure until this offseason. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels also played at Arizona State with Aiyuk. Tack on a new third-round pick to play with and things get interesting.

The problem here is the Commanders have never appeared to have any interest in pursuing Aiyuk. There hasn’t been any reporting about Washington offering Aiyuk a contract, which helps explain why they’re the only team of the initial four to not work out a trade with the 49ers.

If they weren’t willing to have those talks in early August, it’s hard to imagine they’re going to suddenly pick up the phone and try to work out a trade less than two weeks before the regular season begins.

Alas, the rumor mill is going to churn until there’s a resolution to the Aiyuk contract saga. Things are still at the same tipping point they’ve been at for awhile. The Steelers are hoping to trade for Aiyuk and have a deal in place with the 49ers. Meanwhile, San Francisco and their All-Pro wide receiver are one hurdle away from coming to an agreement on a deal.

While the Commanders make sense as a trade partner logically, it appears  Aiyuk will suit up for either the Steelers or 49ers (with a lean toward the latter) this season.

A timeline of Brandon Aiyuk’s relationship with the 49ers slowly, but surely, falling apart

It all seemed so good going into the Super Bowl

The 49ers and star receiver Brandon Aiyuk have been at odds all summer despite a career year from the star wide receiver.

It boils down to money. Aiyuk has been looking for a lengthy and lucrative contract extension from the 49ers, and he still hasn’t gotten it.

Now, it looks like he won’t. At least not from the 49ers. Aiyuk has reportedly requested a trade from San Francisco, according to reporting from NFL Networks’ Mike Garafolo.

READ MORE: Five teams that should trade for Brandon Aiyuk without hesitation

Aiyuk has been on the radar as a potential trade target for a while now, but after today’s news, the 49ers phones are probably ringing off the hook.

The trade talks make sense. The 49ers are getting expensive. After signing Christian McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings to extensions this summer, the 49ers have one of the most expensive rosters in the league for next season and are projected to be over the cap in 2025.

But there’s still no guarantee that the 49ers will actually trade Aiyuk, but he could be a huge piece for a team moving forward considering how spectacular he was for San Francisco last season. That’s why it’s so unbelievable that we’re actually here.

Let’s take a look back and see how we got here.

Aiyuk sends a cryptic message after the Super Bowl

Aiyuk dropped a cryptic message on Instagram after the 49ers lost the Super Bowl to the Chiefs back in February. It said “Don’t forget what got you there.”

This message is where things all started. This was Aiyuk planting his flag in the ground on his upcoming contract negotiation.

After Aiyuk sent that message, trade rumors began swirling about surrounding the star wideout.

Amid all the drama, though, 49ers GM John Lynch said Aiyuk was “not available for trade” and that contract talks with him were already underway, according to reporting from ESPN.

“I promise you nothing’s going on there. We’re actively talking with Brandon trying to figure something out. We have a good history of working with the guys we want to get done to get something done and it takes two sides. So, can we do that? We’ll see. There’s a number of different directions that it could go but we appreciate the heck out of Brandon and who he is as a player, and we want him to be a part of the Niners. We’re going to work towards making that a reality.”

Rumors were floating around about Aiyuk moving on to the Steelers or the Commanders. This was Lynch’s attempt to shut them down completely.

Aiyuk calls the 49ers out again

The 49ers receiver called bullcrap on Lynch and the organization. Well, not verbally. He did it through emojis.

This was his new message to the organization toward the end of March.

Translation: Money talks, bullcrap walks.

Aiyuk skipped 49ers minicamp

After the 49ers didn’t make a move to trade Aiyuk during the NFL draft things cooled down a bit.

It wasn’t until Aiyuk skipped voluntary workouts for San Francisco in June that things came back up. He’d reportedly receive more than $100,000 in potential fines for not showing up.

This isn’t an uncommon tactic. Players looking for new contracts skip camp all the time — both voluntary and mandatory. Nick Bosa did the same thing last year.

But it did show  how serious Aiyuk was about either getting a new deal done with the 49ers or making sure he’d be able to go get it somewhere else.

He says he “for sure” wants to be a 49er but says the team doesn’t want him

 

Aiyuk told TMZ that he wanted to remain in San Francisco with his current team.

But then, he later told Jaden Daniels in a FaceTime conversation that the 49ers said they didn’t want him back.

Talk about mixed messaging. Given everything that’s been said, it’s hard to know exactly what to think.

All we know is that, now, Aiyuk has officially requested a trade. And the 49ers still have a huge decision on their hands.

What would Brandon Aiyuk trade even look like?

Here’s what a Brandon Aiyuk trade might look like if contract talks go completely off the rails.

We’ve spent a lot of time explaining all the reasons the 49ers wouldn’t likely aim to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but the possibility is still out there no matter how small. Let’s for a moment venture into the hypothetical world where the team decides it is so fed up with the 26-year-old All-Pro that it’d rather trade him than have him play on his fifth-year option.

Even in this hypothetical world there’s one overarching truth that will work as the foundation for all of the 49ers’ roster-building efforts: the 49ers are trying to win the Super Bowl in 2024. If the urgency was cranked up to 10 last year, San Francisco purchased a new urgency system with a scale that goes to some number higher than 10.

We can also assume in this same world that the only scenario the 49ers would rather deal Aiyuk than have him play out his rookie deal is one where they’re getting a value beyond what they believe the receiver would provide in 2024.

The chances Aiyuk would play on his fifth-year option and enter next offseason as an unrestricted free agent are slim. That’s part of what the 49ers are banking on because if he decided to hold out then he wouldn’t accrue his fifth season and he’d enter the 2025 campaign one year older, minus one full year of paychecks, and still in the same spot contractually. Nevertheless, we persist.

With all that in mind, we have to build a trade that includes something that will help the 49ers in 2024. Let’s pick the Steelers since they’re the team that most often comes up in Aiyuk trade chatter on the internet.

If San Francisco is pulling the trigger on an Aiyuk trade, it would probably look something like this:

Steelers receive: Brandon Aiyuk

49ers receive: CB Joey Porter Jr., 2025 2nd-round pick

If that seems like a lot, it’s because it is!

This is the kind of deal that might sway the 49ers off of their star WR. If it isn’t Porter specifically, who would help the 49ers’ secondary in 2024 and beyond with both Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir on track for free agency next year, then it’d be a different high-quality player who would make immediate contributions.

Given that Pittsburgh wouldn’t likely agree to such a deal, it’s hard to imagine trade talks getting far if the 49ers start making/taking calls on Aiyuk again.

For now though, in the real world, the trade discussions are simply offseason fodder until training camp begins. Perhaps the 49ers believe a trade would be a better option than paying Aiyuk long-term. If they do though it’ll be a move that keeps them atop the list of Super Bowl contenders in the NFC.

B/R proposes ‘shocking’ trade between Jaguars, Eagles

B/R proposes ‘shocking’ trade between Jaguars, Eagles

A prevailing opinion this offseason is that if Jacksonville has any pressing team needs remaining with the 2024 campaign quickly approaching, it’s additional help at cornerback.

Despite the Jaguars’ signing of veteran corner Ronald Darby in free agency and selections of corners Jarrian Jones and Deantre Prince in the NFL draft, analysts have frequently pegged Jacksonville as a candidate to trade for a veteran at the position before the season gets rolling.

In May, ESPN floated the idea of Jacksonville trading for New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

And on Friday, Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport proposed the Jaguars move to acquire cornerback James Bradberry from Philadelphia, naming the potential move among one of eight “shocking” possible trades that would impact playoff races this year.

Davenport suggested a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft as adequate compensation for Philadelphia to send Bradberry to Jacksonville.

Finding veteran cornerback help this late in the offseason isn’t easy—teams are usually loathe to part with even marginal talents at a position where depth can be hugely important. But as it happens, there’s a former Pro Bowler who might just be available.

Granted, James Bradberry didn’t play like a Pro Bowler last year—in fact, he played a sizable role in Philly’s collapse defensively down the stretch. The Eagles used their first two draft picks in 2024 on cornerbacks, and head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters Philadelphia is considering moving Bradberry into a reserve role at safety.

Over 125 appearances and 124 starts, Bradberry has logged 478 tackles with nine for loss, three sacks, 19 interceptions including one pick-six, 112 defended passes and four forced fumbles, with Philadelphia, the New York Giants and Carolina during his eight-year NFL career.

He received Pro Bowl recognition in 2020 and All-Pro Second-Team honors in 2022. However, his play was inconsistent during the 2023 season, when he allowed 60 completions in coverage, the second-highest single-season mark in his career, per Pro Football Reference, and collected just one interception.

Although Bradberry, 30, appears to be on the downturn of his career, Davenport classified the move as “shocking” considering the little draft capital Jacksonville would give up for such an accomplished player.

This trade would be shocking not in that the Eagles would move on from Bradberry—that feels more inevitable by the day. The shock would be that a player who just two years ago was a second-team All-Pro who also has a Pro Bowl on his resume would all but be given away.

But perhaps a change of scenery would rekindle his career. And an improved Jaguars secondary would help their chances of keeping up with the Texans and their loaded cadre of pass-catchers.

Jacksonville’s pass defense ranked No. 26 in the NFL last season, giving up 239.8 yards per game on average.

While the Jaguars’ 16 interceptions ranked a respectable No. 12 in the league, only five were generated by cornerbacks, including four by Darious Williams, who the team released this offseason amid its defensive scheme change under new coordinator Ryan Nielsen.

Darby was signed to replace Williams as a starting cornerback, opposite Tyson Campbell, Jacksonville’s 2021 second-round NFL draft selection.

Davenport also proposed a trade between Jacksonville and Kansas City in which the Jaguars send starting left tackle, Cam Robinson, and a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Chiefs in exchange for a 2025 third-rounder and a 2026 fourth-rounder.

He suggested the idea of an AFC team aiding Kansas City, winners of three of the last five Super Bowls, would seem “off — because every weakness the Chiefs fill makes it more likely they make history this season.”

49ers have good track record with extending players like Brandon Aiyuk

Freaking out about Brandon Aiyuk not having a contract yet? Good news! We’ve been here before:

The 49ers’ way of doing business might be a bit anxiety-inducing for fans. As other wide receivers have signed big contracts this offseason, San Francisco has calmly acted upon their usual soft deadline of training camp. They’ve operated this way throughout the Kyle Shanahan-John Lynch era, and as of mid-June there’s no real reason to believe the Brandon Aiyuk contract situation is any different.

San Francisco has gotten high-priced, long-term extensions done with wide receiver Deebo Samuel, tight end George Kittle, linebacker Fred Warner and defensive end Nick Bosa over the last few offseasons. There are other big contracts in there, but these are the team’s drafted players who have earned sizable deals at or near the top of the market for their second contract.

Kittle’s extension was first reported on August 13, 2020. Warner got his big deal the following year, and that was first reported July 21. Reports of Samuel’s deal in the 2022 offseason came down July 31. Bosa is the outlier because he held out until the week the regular season kicked off in early September, but nevertheless he got a contract that at the time made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

It’s easy to point to recent reports of Aiyuk’s pessimism, or that the 49ers aren’t indicating that they’ll rescind fines for missed practices and surmise that there’s something extraordinary going on with these particular negotiations. Never mind that Samuel outright requested a trade and while the Jets were on the clock with the No. 10 pick in the 2022 draft there was real speculation that the pick would be dealt to the 49ers in exchange for the All-Pro wide receiver. Alas, the fever broke and Samuel eventually got his deal.

One outlier here is that the other WRs who would be setting the market have almost all done their contracts already. Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle, Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown, and Vikings WR Justin Jefferson have all gotten their proverbial bags. Aiyuk and CeeDee Lamb, both first-round picks in 2020 and entering the final year of their rookie contracts, are the only two big-time receivers left without extensions.

Perhaps there’s some kind of waiting game with that duo to see which of them sets the market below Jefferson, who earned a four-year deal worth up to $140 with $110 million guaranteed from Minnesota in early June.

The more likely scenario is that the 49ers are following their typical path where they don’t feel any urgency in mid-June while players are away from the team with nothing substantial happening on the NFL calendar until late July when training camp begins.

Bosa last season was an outlier because his deal was a little more complicated given the scale of the contract. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year received a five-year, $170 million contract with $122.5 million guaranteed. It was the largest non-QB contract ever, and thus might have required more back-and-forth.

With Aiyuk things are a little less sticky. There’s a very clear range he should be landing with lots of contracts from comparable players to go off of. And it’s hard to believe the 49ers weren’t anticipating that level of contract when they chose not to trade the All-Pro WR during the draft.

There’s certainly still some negotiating to do, and it may get more publicly volatile in the weeks leading up to training camp. That’s not out of the ordinary for the 49ers though and the delay with Aiyuk is the same delay every other player who got a big extension from the team had to endure.

Perhaps Aiyuk or the 49ers are being wholly unrealistic and we see a rare case where San Francisco botches an extension on a budding star player. Until that happens though their track record remains far stronger than not in this area, and that’s an important thing to remember as the negotiations continue to unfold.

49ers did due diligence, called Vikings about Justin Jefferson trade

The 49ers called the Vikings about a Justin Jefferson trade. Here’s why that matters:

The 49ers aren’t lying when they say they’re always looking to do anything they can to make their team better. That’s why it isn’t a huge surprise to find out they were one of several teams that reached out to the Minnesota Vikings about trading for wide receiver Justin Jefferson in the midst of his contract negotiations.

Adam Schefter on his podcast mentioned San Francisco as one of a slew of teams that got on the phone with the Vikings during the draft to inquire about Jefferson’s availability.

“Some teams reached out,” Schefter said. “The New York Jets reached out about Justin Jefferson. The Indianapolis Colts reached out about Justin Jefferson. You know that? The 49ers reached out about Justin Jefferson. You know that?”

Any overtures were swiftly denied by the Vikings according to Schefter. It’s not clear what the 49ers were willing to offer for Jefferson since the Vikings never let talks get that far.

When there’s even a hint of an elite player like Jefferson being available it’s every general manager’s job to get on the phone and call that player’s team. It’s the due diligence we hear about so often from front offices.

Perhaps there was some hang-up in negotiations and the Vikings are willing to move him for a couple of first-round picks. While it’s unlikely, teams won’t know until they make a phone call.

This is instructive when it comes to the 49ers’ conversations before and during the draft about wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Fielding those calls and trying to squeeze a fleecing out of another team in an effort to make the team better is part of the deal when it comes to team-building. There’s not a desire to get rid of the players, but rather a desire to ensure all bases are covered when going through an offseason.

It also tells us the 49ers are ready to give another wide receiver a big deal. Jefferson wound up getting a contract with more than $88 million guaranteed across four seasons. It reset the market and San Francisco was trying to find out if that player was available. Aiyuk’s contract will come in under what Jefferson got, which provides optimism that there’s room for an Aiyuk deal at some point this offseason.

It makes zero sense for 49ers to trade one of their top 2 WRs

There are still Brandon Aiyuk/Deebo Samuel trade rumors. It doesn’t make sense.

The 49ers wide receiver trade rumors started leading up to the 2024 NFL draft. They could have stopped after the draft when San Francisco dealt neither Brandon Aiyuk nor Deebo Samuel. Alas, they persist because content rules above logic.

Let’s try and iron this out.

It would not make sense for the 49ers to move on from either Samuel or Aiyuk at this juncture or at any other point this season given what would realistically be available on the trade market.

Typically one of these trade rumors revolves around the 49ers’ financial situation and their ability to pay their WRs. They’re already more than $25 million under this year’s salary cap with both Aiyuk and Samuel on the books. This aspect will matter a ton next offseason and perhaps this year while the 49ers are trying to iron out an extension with Aiyuk.

It’s important to note though that Aiyuk is still under contract for the 2024 season. He’ll likely not want to play on his fifth-year option, but he’s less likely to want to sit out a year and run into this problem again next offseason because he didn’t accrue his fifth season. If he and the 49ers can’t come to an agreement on a deal, they’re more likely to call his bluff on not playing than to give him away.

There’s an underlying key to everything when it comes to the trade rumors with the 49ers WRs though.

San Francisco is trying to win the Super Bowl. Their window is shutting rapidly, and it’s unclear how if/when it will be thrown back open by a new, younger core.

The 2024 season marks perhaps the final time this older core of 49ers will get a chance to try for a Lombardi Trophy together. There is urgency in winning now. There is not urgency in maximizing the return for Aiyuk if he winds up leaving.

Chances are the 49ers would rather have Aiyuk this year and get a compensatory third-round pick for him in the 2026 draft instead of moving him for an asset that won’t get them closer to the Super Bowl in 2024.

The same goes for Samuel, who may be on his way out next offseason as the team tries to maneuver under the 2025 salary cap. They’re currently more than $41 million over according to Over the Cap.

Trading Samuel this year not only makes the 49ers’ offense dramatically worse, but it thrusts either Jauan Jennings into a bigger role or puts rookie first-round pick Ricky Pearsall into an extremely important spot right away. That’s not something San Francisco is likely aiming to do in 2024.

It’s clear some kind of major shakeup is coming in the 49ers WR room. The turbulence leading up to and during the draft made it appear those moves were on the horizon, but when nothing materialized during the draft it became clear the most logical course of action for San Francisco would be to keep its receiving corps together for 2024 to try and win the Super Bowl.

Anything beyond that will be taken care of next year.

ESPN proposes Jaguars, Saints trade including Marshon Lattimore

ESPN proposes Jaguars, Saints trade including Marshon Lattimore

The Jaguars signed veteran Ronald Darby and drafted Jarrian Jones and Deantre Prince to shore up their cornerback room this offseason. Was that enough?

Even after the draft, the cornerback position has been pegged as one of Jacksonville’s biggest needs by NFL analysts, albeit more often from a long-term perspective rather than short-term.

Darby, 30, signed only a two-year deal with the club in March. The projected starter opposite of Darby in 2024, Tyson Campbell, is entering the final year of his rookie contract with the team.

Jones, a nickel projection, and Prince, an outside fit, could certainly develop into playmakers in the Jaguars’ secondary, but it is impossible to know if they will do so now.

Accordingly, the leading proposal among ESPN’s post-draft moves that “should happen” was Jacksonville trading for New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

Bill Barnwell, who wrote the article, justified the trade proposal by noting Lattimore’s recently reworked contract, which includes an option bonus structure rather than traditional bonuses, and the Saints’ second-round selection of cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 2024 NFL draft.

The top landing spot for Lattimore certainly looks like Jacksonville, where former Saints assistant Ryan Nielsen is the defensive coordinator. The Jaguars didn’t get great play at corner last season and then cut veteran Darious Williams. They need their corners to play well; they played man coverage at the third highest rate of any team last season. One of the two teams that were in man-to-man defensive looks more often? The Falcons, where Nielsen was in charge of the defense in 2023.

To be fair, the Jaguars have attempted to solve their problems at cornerback already this offseason, but I’m not sure they’ve gotten all the way there. They’ve bought in bulk while attempting to upgrade at corner by signing veteran Ronald Darby and using third- and fifth-round picks on Jarrian Jones and Deantre Prince. Adding Lattimore would be a much more significant upgrade. He has allowed a passer rating below 75.0 in each of the past two seasons while giving up just one touchdown.

Barnwell added that he would be surprised if Lattimore, who is 28 and eyeing a third NFL contract, would net the Saints more than a fourth-round pick in a trade.

Jacksonville secured an additional 2025 fourth-round pick to pair with its own selection in the round by trading down with Minnesota on Day 1 of the 2024 NFL draft.

The Jaguars swapped No. 17 overall with the Vikings for No. 23 overall, where they took wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., and received a 2024 fifth-round pick (used on return specialist Keilan Robinson) and a 2025 third-round choice in addition to the 2025 fourth-rounder.

A first-round selection by New Orleans in 2017, the Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year that season and a four-time Pro Bowler, Lattimore has accumulated 375 tackles including seven for loss, 15 interceptions including two pick-sixes, 86 defended passes and five forced fumbles over 90 career games, each of which he’s started.
