49ers: Brandon Aiyuk officially requests to be traded
4 years and $80 million for Quinn Meinerz
The Broncos reward one of the rare satisfactions of the past season, their lineman Quinn Meinerz (OG). Drafted in the 3rd round in 2021, Meinerz quickly became a starter on Denver's offensive line. Progressing year after year, he is now the 3rd best guard in the league according to the renowned PFF. Better yet, he is the highest rated guard in the league on the running game.
The amounts are in line with the player's new status, the two sides have reached an agreement on a 4-year extension for $80 million (including $45 million guaranteed). These figures make Quinn Meinerz the 3rd highest paid guard in the league on an annual basis. The contract is the 4th largest in the league for a guard.
Davante Adams untransferable
This Tuesday, a rumor said that Davante Adams (WR, Raiders) would be on the way out. The player's agents wanted to put the rumor to rest.
“This is baseless speculation, Davante should be with the Raiders, simply because there is no discussion. Period.”
It must be said that Aaron Rodgers (QB, Jets) unwittingly spread this speculation at a golf tournament. In an interview at this event, he declared that he would like to play with Adams again.
The 31-year-old is set to play his third season with the Raiders. Last season, he topped 1,000 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive year (1,144). However, his number of touchdowns (8) was down from his previous seasons.
Caleb Williams signs contract
The first pick of the last Draft, Caleb Williams (QB, Bears), has finally signed his rookie contract. With this signing, he pockets a nice fully guaranteed check of 39 million dollars, including 25.5 million in signing bonuses. Williams is under contract with the Illinois franchise for four years, and his team has a fifth year as an option.
It's back to school for some rookies!
Eight teams returned to training on Tuesday, with activities reserved exclusively for rookies for the time being. In fact, the teams concerned are the Bears, Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Dolphins, Giants, Saints and 49ers. But one franchise was even more studious since the Ravens' rookies were called up last Saturday. The other 23 teams will gradually resume their activities in the coming days, and the full groups will be in working order starting July 24.
With the start of the school year, the eyes of observers are once again riveted on Chicago. In addition to Caleb Williams, the Bears' other first-round pick, receiver Rome Odunze, has signed his contract. He imitates his quarterback with the same structure in terms of number of years, but “only” 22.7 million guaranteed and 13.3 million at signing.
Injuries
– With one week to go before training camp begins, Daniel Jones (QB, Giants) seems ready. Having undergone surgery last November for a torn cruciate ligament, the quarterback said he was able to “run, change direction, do whatever he needs to do.” A return that is surely highly anticipated by the Giants, who have not sought out any competition for him this offseason. He should therefore avoid being placed on injured reserve before the start of training camp.
They are placed on the injured reserve list (PUP List): Tahj Washington (WR, Dolphins), Theo Johnson (TE, Giants), Joe Thuney (OL, Chiefs), Charles Omenihu (DE, Chiefs)
They are placed on the non-football injury list (NFI List): Ricky Pearsall (WR, 49ers), Bub Means (WR, Saints)
Transactions
Today's top signings: Malik Fisher (DE, Texans), Quintez Cephus (WR, Texans), Marcus Simms (WR, Seahawks)
In short
– Louisiana State dropped charges against Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. The 22-year-old receiver was facing charges of illegal sports betting while he was still playing for LSU. Over the course of more than a year, Boutte placed nearly 9,000 bets, including 17 on college games and six on his LSU team. (ESPN)
– A new name enters the Vikings legend. The Minnesota franchise announced that its legendary cornerback Bobby Bryant will be inducted into the Ring of Honor on September 22. He is the first cornerback of the team to obtain this distinction. Seventh round of the 1967 draft, Bryant spent 14 seasons with the Vikings. In 141 appearances with the purple and gold, he totaled 57 interceptions. He also played in two Super Bowls and was a Pro Bowler in the 1975 and 1976 seasons.
