On the SF 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 The New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns have contract offers for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Critics of the deal say he should leave a few mil on the table and have a chance to win every year with the 49ers.

#2 Midday on Tuesday the Pittsburgh Steelers have made offers for Aiyuk’s services but that talks had stalled. Later in the day talks resumed. Aiyuk is taking a look from all around.

#3 The latest towards the end of the business day on Tuesday has Aiyuk considering either the Browns or the Patriots. If Aiyuk goes to either team it’s unlikely he will be on a Super Bowl team with either one? Nick Bosa said that losing Aiyuk would create a big hole and that would impact any Super Bowl team.

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 The Raiders have a quarterback controversy on their hands and head coach Antonio Pierce says nothing has been decided yet as both Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell continue to battle for the starting job.

#2 Tony, here is something that coach Pierce said about the controversy on Monday, “We can’t sit here and say anyone has won yet. Gardner has had good moments… when I look at Aidan I see some good moments, some drops by the receivers, too. They are going against a very good defense, and I think they are feeling that.”

#3 Tony, first pre season game Sat 10th in Minnesota it’s all too pre mature to predict anything but shouldn’t at least the first few pre season games help determine who should be the starting quarterback?

#4 The question at practice on Monday was who will start at quarterback this Saturday and as coach Piece said it’s going to take an evaluation from this week’s practices that will determine that. It’s most likely expected that O’Connell will get the starting nod.

#5 The OTA’s didn’t take anything from the competition of both teams. Pierce has both Minshew and O’Connell doing simple drills. The Raiders held mandatory mini camp Monday which coach Pierce ended early. O’Connell made some great throws in practice on Monday.

#3 NFL insiders are calling 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk chicken and Aiyuk says that the 49ers don’t want him back and Aiyuk wants to play for the Washington Commanders and quarterback Jayden Daniels. Aiyuk has been showing up for practices so he won’t get fined but is not working out with the team. Aiyuk has formerly asked for a trade from the 49ers. How distracting does this get for the 49ers and Aiyuk himself.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Is O’Connell the odds on starter for Raiders?

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Devante Adams says he feels very comfortable right now. He’s happy that quarterback Aidan O’Connell has the inside track to win the starting job. The only thing that could stop that is if O’Connell was to start having a bad camp or he gets injured. Adams is behind O’Connell for starter.

#2 Tony, talk about the Adams-O’Connell combo is this a quarterback-wide receiver combination that could be a huge battery to get the Raiders to the post season?

#3 Head coach Antonio Pierce has said that there is no clear leader for the quarterback role. Is that because as head coach Pierce has to say the right thing right now and give O’Connell or quarterback Gardner Minshew a equal chance.

#4 Adams said he’s in a really good place and is happy to be working with the guys and likes O’Connell. On the changes in quarterbacks over the last two seasons with former quarterback Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo and how sure are the Raiders with O’Connell?

#5 Minshew was a former Indianapolis Colts quarterback and threw against the Raiders in a 23-20 win during week 17 last season. There is no doubt that Minshew has capabilities.

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

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.
