49ers GM John Lynch address trade market for Lance, Aiyuk, Bosa

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:20:05 GMT

SANTA CLARA — John Lynch’s pre-draft press conference Monday revolved more so around the 49ers’ trade market.What is Trey Lance’s fate? Is Brandon Aiyuk staying put? Heck, what about Nick Bosa?Lynch’s most definitive answer came in shooting down the wild notion Bosa might be shopped, rather than being extended the NFL’s richest contract ever for a non-quarterback, with that deal expected in late July.“That hotline is closed. That never opened,” Lynch said of a Bosa trade.Lynch did not openly endorse trading away Lance or Aiyuk, nor did the 49ers’ general manager deny that a substantial offer could sway them to deal Lance, a still-raw quarterback who was drafted No. 3 overall in 2021.“There’s a lot of smoke, really. It hasn’t been extremely active,” Lynch said. “It’s not like we put it out there, ‘Hey, we’re taking offers for Trey. Call 1-800- … ’ That’s not been the process.“People’s job is to ask question...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:20:05 GMT

(KTXL) — Sacramento Kings All-Star point guard De'Aaron Fox fractured his left index finger on his shooting hand during the team's playoff game against Golden State Warriors on Sunday, sources told FOX40's Sean Cunningham. Fox is expected to be listed as doubtful for Game 5 against the Warriors at the Golden 1 Center, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported. Wojnarowski said there's still hope Fox will try and play Game 5, but will need to play with a protective covering on his injured finger. Following the Kings' heartbreaking 126-125 loss in Game 4 on Sunday, Fox didn't wear any wrapping or brace on his finger during his postgame interview session.With Game 5 status unclear due to his fractured left index finger, De’Aaron Fox didn’t have any wrapping or brace on that finger in his postgame interview session last night.

That included helping Americans in Sudan link up with convoys of foreigners now attempting to make it through fighting toward safety on Sudan’s eastern border.

LONG BRANCH, N.J. (AP) — Climate change, spurred by the burning of fossil fuels, is the biggest danger to marine life including whales, a panel of Democratic officials and environmental groups said Monday.The gathering, held in an oceanfront conference room as a half-dozen dolphins frolicked in the ocean behind them, also strongly criticized a bill in the House of Representatives containing numerous incentives for oil and gas companies, and which eliminates several environmental protections currently in effect.It also was a retort to opponents of offshore wind development, who claim that preparation for wind farms off New Jersey and New York are killing whales along the U.S. East Coast. Numerous federal and state agencies say there is no evidence that the deaths are related to offshore wind survey work.The event came a week after U.S. Rep.
