San Francisco, CA

Trade talks have reportedly slowed as receiver Brandon Aiyuk continues his hold-in with the 49ers. With it again looking more like Aiyuk will be with San Francisco for 2024, head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked in his Monday press conference if Aiyuk was taking part in anything on the field — like running routes with the team’s quarterbacks against air.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made an addition to their roster on Monday night by claiming offensive lineman Tykeem Doss off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens. Doss, a product of the University of Southern Mississippi, originally joined the Ravens as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft. He spent the entire 2023 season on Baltimore’s practice squad and was later signed to a reserve/future contract on January 29, 2024.

Steelers Claim Massive Tackle off Waivers from Ravens

Several months ago, we predicted that, by the trade deadline, half of the league would be kicking off out of the end zone and giving up the 30 yard line. Some coaches have mentioned that potential strategy. Today, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said he’d never even considered the possibility.

Bryant has been in just about every league since then: Canadian Football League, The Indoor Football League, the Fan Controlled Football League, and the XFL.
