On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 The NFL has implemented numerous restrictions on the Las Vegas Raiders who decided to use Costa Mesa in Los Angeles for training camp. Since the Raiders are not the home team tenant and the Rams and Chargers are the Raiders must adhere to the rules of the NFL and will not be permitted to have their fans watch practice.

#2 The Raiders in addition of not being allowed to have their fans watch practice the Raiders are not allowed to market, broadcast or promote that they will be holding training camp at Costa Mesa.

#3 Also the league has told the Raiders that the media will not have access to training camp at Costa Mesa to cover, interview or file reports at the Los Angeles stadium. The league will allow a handful of season ticket holders and VIPs to attend practice during the Raiders 18 day stay at Costa Mesa.

#4 Raiders owner Mark Davis didn’t protest and said it’s the Rams and Chargers facility and he understands that’s their policy saying it would be nice if all the fans could have access to watch training camp but the Raiders are prepared to work with the Rams and Chargers.

#5 The Raiders still have fans in the Southland they played in Los Angeles from between 1982-94 and while they’ll be some sore fans who won’t have access to Costa Mesa they’ll just have to prepare for the pre season to have access to watch them live in August.

On the SF 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 Brandon Aiyuk has reportedly made a request for a trade from the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday. Contract negotiations on both sides has stalled. In spite of the trade request this go two ways things could get worked out between Aiyuk and the 49ers or he will be granted a trade.

#2 Aiyuk is entering his fifth NFL season and would like to stay with the 49ers but has asked for compensation that is on par with some of the top wide receivers in the NFL. How much will trading Aiyuk away impact the 49ers?

#3 Dave, a team who would pursue Aiyuk would more than likely have to have more than a compensation package but also that could include that team’s number draft pick. The salary would have to be more than $28-30 million per year which the 49ers are offering Aiyuk.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 CBS NFL analyst Boomer Esiason said that he could see Las Vegas wide receiver Devante Adams getting traded. From what he’s heard from the Netflix show “Receiver” Adams wants out of Las Vegas but making the disclaimer that Adams hasn’t said that publicly.

#2 Esiason said that he could turn to his agent pretty much the same way he did when he was in Green Bay and ask his agent to help him get out of Vegas.

#3 Adams had frustrations with former Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Adams said Garoppolo over threw passes, missed him as a target and that he was going to get killed out there because he was getting hit by defenders in trying to catch passes.

#4 Around the time last season when former Raider head coach Josh McDaniels was fired and Garoppolo was replaced at starting quarterback for Aidan O’Connell, Adams was said to be in favor of benching Garoppolo for O’Connell.

#5 Garoppolo was in his first of his three year $73.75 million contract. Garoppolo finished the 2023 season with the Raiders and was released. Garoppolo threw for seven touchdowns and nine interceptions last season. Garoppolo had played six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before joining the Raiders.

#1 The Brandon Aiyuk scenario continues. Aiyuk has reportedly been sharing a video of himself reviewing Washington Commanders practice film. Aiyuk has said that if things didn’t work out with the 49ers he would consider landing with the Commanders.

#2 Defensive Coordinator Nick Sorenson will he stay in San Francisco or will he find success elsewhere. Last season Sorenson replaced Steve Wilks. Sorenson had so much success at defensive coordinator that he led the 49ers defense to the Super Bowl. Do you see any chance of him staying?

#3 Tashaun Gipson the 49er veteran safety said he has accepted his six game suspension for substance abuse. Gipson said “During this offseason I took a supplement one time, which I thought to be completely safe and well within any of the NFL’s policies. It was in no way related to performance, training, or gaining an advantage of any kind at any time. I have competed at this level for a long time, and have nothing but respect for the game and the fraternity of players in it,”

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast:

#1 San Francisco 49ers Brandon Ayiuk is in the last year of his five year contract. Ayiuk was offered $26 million from 49ers for a new contract. The Pittsburgh Steelers offering Aiyuk $30 million is just not true the Steelers don’t want to get into trouble for tampering.

#2 Aiyuk says the loss of last season’s Super Bowl still stings he said that he’s still down from it. What are some of the things that makes Aiyuk lose interest in coming back to the 49ers? How much did losing the Super Bowl last season play a role in his future decision?

#3 Aiyuk said a recent interview “All I can do is put my head down and go to work every single day pray ask God to lead me.” Aiyuk also said about the 49ers not wanting him, “they told me they didn’t think they were on the same page.”

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 In 2014 the City of Santa Clara was reported to have made a bad deal with the San Francisco 49ers over the Levis Stadium that is public owned by the City. The City got “outplayed” according to a Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury.

#2 Dave as we discussed you mentioned it was just a matter of the 49ers had smarter lawyers at the time they worked the contracts in their favor and pretty much got the Santa Clara City official to go right along with their plans. Also the 49ers had a conflict with the City of Santa Clara over how stadium maintenance was going to get paid and their relationship with Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor has been very adversarial through her first and now current second administrations.

#3 The 49ers and Brandon Aiyuk are at an impasse do you see them signing him to an extension.

By Tony Renteria NFL Staff analyst

The family of OJ Simpson said that Simpson 76 passed away. Simpson had been in hospice battling cancer “On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer” Simpson family said in a statement on X “He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.”

Pro Football president of the NFL Hall of Fame Jim Porter said of Simpson, “O.J. Simpson was the first player to reach a rushing mark many thought could not be attained in a 14-game season when he topped 2,000 yards,” Jim Porter said “His on-field contributions will be preserved in the Hall’s archives in Canton, Ohio.”

Simpson’s football career was over shadowed by being accused of being a double murderer of his wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. It was the police car chase during a televised NBA Finals in June of 1994 that put the Finals as the backdrop as the car chase of OJ who held a gun to his head while his friend Al Cowlings was driving him down a Los Angeles freeway in the famous white Ford Bronco.

By Rich Perez

LAS VEGAS–Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is hearing it from social media and insiders in the Raiders organization over his use of PEDs and how he let the whole team down. Garoppolo who received a two game ban for violating the NFL’s enhancing substances league policy. The suspension was meted out on Friday night.

Garoppolo used a prescription medication without permission and exemption from the NFL. Sources say Garoppolo will not appeal the suspension and will be suspended for the first two regular season games next season. Garoppolo will be allowed to participate in pre season games in August but once the regular season begins he will not be allowed near any NFL team training facilities until the second game of the season is completed.

According to the source Garoppolo will be released by the Raiders in mid March which happens to be the fifth day of the new league year. Garoppolo could have earned $11.5 million in roster bonus money for the 2024 but that will most likely be voided because of the PEDs suspension. Garoppolo signed a $72.75 million three year deal $33.75 of it was guaranteed in March. Garoppolo signed with the Raiders when former head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler were running the team.

Now that the Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco are running the team that does not give them any obligation to keep Garoppolo and the Raiders most likely will be looking for another quarterback draftee.
