San Francisco 49ers

As Herm Edwards once said, “You play to win the game!” The Green Bay Packers did… not do that.

The rumblings were there. But now it appears real. After a 12-year career with the Detroit Lions, Matthew Stafford wants out.

When the 49ers lost George Kittle last year, the foundation of their offense was crushed.

The 49ers are at a crucial point. They are entering an offseason in which they are destined to lose free agents.

Well, that all changed abruptly. What we knew about 49ers former VP of player personnel Martin Mayhew on Wednesday was that he’d be departing for Washington, D.C. What was not clear, though, was exactly what his role would be.

Robert Saleh wore green on Thursday. Not figuratively; the man really went all-out in a St. Patrick’s Day-esque gettup.

The wheels keep turning. As Robert Saleh’s Jets staff comes together, the 49ers’ staff continues to shrink and evolve.

The 49ers will in fact be losing a member of their front office in this cycle, it just won’t be the one many people expected.

He’s back folks. Trent Baalke has a GM job again.

There’s a pretty universal message coming from Deshaun Watson’s former teammates and former NFL players: get out of Houston.
