Breaking News: The head coach of the San Francisco 49ers has terminated his employment with the team today…..
A good chunk of the chatter has been on potential reunions with players that used to suit up in red and gold. D.J. Jones, who played for San Francisco from 2017 to 2021 and currently plays in Denver, came up in a mailbag column by The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, and in a trade deadline column by CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan.
Barrows reported that a possible trade “makes a lot of sense” because Jones is on an expiring contract, he’s familiar with how the team operates, and the team lacks defensive tackle depth.
The hang-up is whether the Broncos, at 3-3, are selling at the Nov. 5 deadline.
Sullivan only offered the Broncos’ perspective in his blurb about the hypothetical move, which would help Denver “recoup assets” before his potential impending departure this offseason.
NFL Network’s Maurice Jones-Drew, inspired by the reunion of Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers, suggested Wednesday that the Niners should bring back Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson, who are both currently on the Dolphins.
Mostert, a Niner from 2016 to 2021, and Wilson, a Niner from 2018 until he was traded midseason in 2022, are “solid veteran options who would add some quality depth to this 49ers attack,” per Jones-Drew.
Miami might be more tempted to make this move because of its young tailback depth in De’Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, and because their rough start to the season could turn them into deadline sellers.
