Player Notes

  • Likely staying in Bay Area
    49ers GM John Lynch recently told ESPN's Pat McAfee Show that he doesn't want to trade Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel despite taking Ricky Pearsall in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

    Advice: Trade rumors earlier in the offseason centered on Aiyuk, who is scheduled to play out 2024 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. After the Niners drafted Pearsall, a few reporters suggested Samuel was actually more likely to be moved, in which case the Niners presumably would place greater emphasis on signing Aiyuk to a long-term deal. It now appears both will stay with the team this season, as will returning No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings. That's not a guarantee, but it at least seems more likely that spring 2025 will be the break-up date for San Francisco's veteran WR corps. Aiyuk and Jennings are only under contract through 2024, while Samuel has two more year on his deal but no guaranteed money after this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:41 am

  • Cut by Kansas City
    The Chiefs waived Copeland on Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Advice: Undrafted out of Maryland last year, Copeland signed a reserve/future deal with Kansas City back in January, but the team now needs his roster spot for the latest wave of undrafted signees. Copeland has yet to appear in an NFL game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:39 pm

  • Done in Kansas City
    The Chiefs waived Smith on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Smith did not appear in a regular-season game in 2023, and now Kansas City has decided to let him go ahead of 2024. He'll have to look for his next opportunity with a different squad. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:14 pm

  • Let go by Chiefs
    Kansas City released Miller on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Miller initially signed with the Chiefs back in January, but after using both free agency and the draft to add depth at wide receiver, Kansas City has now chosen to part ways with him. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2021. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:10 pm

  • Dolphins expected to sign Odell Beckham
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Dolphins are expected to sign WR Odell Beckham.

    Advice: OBJ’s deal is reportedly for one year and up to $8.25 million. His base salary will be $3 million. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said in late March that the team had made an offer to Beckham, but according to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson, base salary and incentives were sticking points between the two sides. Beckham was used sparingly in 2023, his only season in Baltimore. Operating mostly as a downfield threat, he had 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns as the third option in the Ravens’ passing offense. Beckham’s addition to the Miami wideout room is a potential complication for hyper-productive rookie WR Malik Washington. The rookie could see significant playing time in three-receiver sets if (or when) Beckham, 31, struggles with various injuries that have hampered him for years. Rotoworld Friday, 8:42 am
