This means the 49ers can actually hold Garoppolo past roster cuts (next Tuesday) and hope that a trade partner emerges over the next three weeks. - If a trade does not materialize, the 49ers can either keep Garoppolo as a backup to Trey Lance or release him. No Market: Adam Schefter is reporting that there is currently [no trade market]( for Garoppolo — a status that is likely to persist unless another team suffers a serious quarterback injury between now and the start of the season. Release: There are probably a few teams — potentially the Seahawks, Texans, Giants, and Browns — waiting for Garoppolo to get released. Signing him as a free agent removes the need to restructure an awkward contract and/or relinquish compensation in a trade. Best Scenario: Schefter believes the “best scenario” for both sides might involve Garoppolo restructuring his contract to stay in San Francisco. - Garoppolo’s deal is up after the season, so if he joins a new team next year, the 49ers would receive a 2024 compensatory draft pick. Image: Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire Texans [Dameon Pierce] Texans RB Dameon Pierce caps impressive preseason with a strong performance vs. the 49ers Details: Pierce, who appears to have won the starting running back job in Houston, totaled 36 yards and a touchdown on 6 carries (6.2 ypc). - The rookie continues to show excellent vision and power ([watch here](). Kenyon: Texans’ first-round left guard Kenyon Green looked fantastic as well — according to Brooks Kubena (Houston Chronicle), the offense totaled 100 yards on 23 carries during his [six drives]( in the game. - Green’s blocking on a 24-yard run by Marlon Mack had gotten a lot of [attention]( on social media. Stingley/Pitre: First-round corner Derek Stingley was not targeted (which is always a good sign for a defensive back). Second-round safety Jalen Pitre finished second on the team in tackles. 49ers: The main standout for San Francisco was safety Tarvarius Moore, who had an interception. Moore is a candidate to start in place of Jimmie Ward, who is expected to miss a minimum of four regular-season games with a [hamstring]( injury.

Pressure: A lot of the pressure on Tannehill is related to his disastrous, three-interception performance against the Bengals in the divisional round last season. - Though regular season struggles were common as well — in 2021, Tannehill threw more interceptions (14) than he threw in 2019 and 2020 combined (13). Malik: Davenport writes that it’s “no coincidence” that Tannehill’s down year was followed by the team’s draft selection of Malik Willis. - Willis has flashed tantalizing ability in the preseason and is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Tough Start: Three of the Titans' first four opponents are considered strong playoff contenders — @ Bills (Week 2), vs. Raiders (Week 3), and @ Colts (Week 4). A string of early-season losses will surely have the fanbase calling for Willis. Image: John Rivera/Icon Sportswire Chiefs [Shane Buechele] Chiefs QB Shane Buechele and RB Isaiah Pacheco stood out vs. the Packers Details: Buechele, who is trying to earn a spot behind backup Chad Henne, completed 11-of-17 passes for 166 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. - Three of his completions went for +20 yards, one of them being a 54-yard touchdown pass to tight end Matt Bushman. Pacheco: Hyped seventh-round running back Isaiah Pacheco led the team in rushing yards with 52 on 10 carries (5.2 ypc). Pacheco appears likely to win a roster spot and should see the field as a rookie. Forston: The Chiefs got another solid performance from emerging tight end Jody Forston, who caught 3-of-3 targets for 26 yards. Toure: Seventh-round receiver Samori Toure was a standout for the Packers, he caught 6-of-8 targets for 83 yards. Lackluster: Jordan Love had a lackluster performance, completing 16-of-26 passes for just 148 yards, no touchdowns, and 1 interception. Image: Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire Mims [Denzel Mims] Jets WR Denzel Mims has publicly requested a trade Details: Mims — a 2020 second-round pick — does not feel he has a “[future](” with the Jets. Buried: He is currently buried behind Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, Garrett Wilson, Braxton Berrios, and Jeff Smith on the receiver depth chart. Production: Mims flashed upside as a rookie, reeling in 23 passes for 357 yards across nine games. But he took a step back last season, catching only 8 passes for 133 yards across eleven games. - The 6-foot-3 wideout has yet to score an NFL touchdown. Baylor: Mims had a highly productive college career at Baylor. As a senior, he caught 66 passes for 1,020 yards and 12 touchdowns. Before the draft Mims ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds. - He also recorded excellent numbers in the vertical jump (38.5”) and 3-cone drill (6.66 seconds). Interest: Following the trade request, both Ian Rapoport and longtime Jets reporter Rich Cimini indicated that teams will be [interested]( in acquiring Mims. Though compensation will likely be limited to a day three pick. Image: Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire Chubb [Bradley Chubb] Bradley Chubb is fully healthy for the first time since 2018 Details: Chubb hasn’t played a full season or finished with more than 7.5 sacks since his unbelievable rookie year in 2018. - Chubb tallied 12.0 sacks as a rookie and finished third in DROY voting. Injuries: Since his rookie year, Chubb has missed twelve games in 2019 (knee), two games in 2020 (ankle), and ten games last season (ankle). Optimism: Despite the injuries, the team believes Chubb has retained the unique power/speed combination that once made him the fifth overall pick of the draft (selected two spots ahead of Bills QB Josh Allen). Bolles: Starting left tackle Garrett Bolles recently [told]( reporters: “Bradley Chubb is going to have a monster year. I have seen the moves, I have seen the demeanor.” Image: Dustin Bradford/Icon Sportswire More News - [Bills]( P Matt Araiza accused of gang rape; his lawyer calls lawsuit a 'shakedown' - [Seahawks]( QB Drew Lock to play majority of game vs. Cowboys tonight - [Rams]( hired Jay Gruden as an offensive consultant - [Eric Fisher]( hopes to play in 2022 - [Tom Brady]( and Julio Jones to make preseason debut on Saturday Share SHARE LEGIT FOOTBALL WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS [CLICK TO SHARE]( Was this email forwarded to you?
