apnews.com/article/lions-49ers-brock-wright-2d2c5d3871d16dadc8343956f2d9f738
Quick Glance: Lions Secure TE Brock Wright, Extend Contract with CB

- Originally brought on board as an undrafted free agent, Wright has consistently made valuable contributions during his time in Detroit. His record of catching 43 passes out of 55 targets for 424 yards and seven touchdowns in 41 games showcases his prowess. Predominantly utilized as a blocker, he has averaged 438 offensive snaps per season and made significant contributions on special teams, exceeding 150 plays annually.
- In addition to opting to keep Wright, the Lions also revealed that they have re-signed cornerback Kindle Vildor.
- Vildor joined the team's practice squad early in the 2023 season and earned a promotion midway through, ultimately participating in the team's last five regular-season games, with the final two as a starter. He also took the starting role in all three of the Lions' playoff games and made an impact during the regular season with 10 tackles, two pass defenses, and a forced fumble.

Quick Glance: Jimmy Garoppolo, Rams One-Year Contract Announcement
- Reports indicate that Jimmy Garoppolo has found a new home. The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to sign Garoppolo to a one-year contract in free agency, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday. Garoppolo officially became a free agent on Wednesday after the Las Vegas Raiders released him shortly after signing Gardner Minshew to compete with Aiden O'Connell for the starting quarterback position.
- Last season, Garoppolo signed a three-year contract with Las Vegas to become the Raiders' quarterback solution. However, he faced difficulties in six starts, throwing seven touchdowns and nine interceptions with a passer rating of 77.7, leading to being benched in Week 9 in favor of O'Connell. The 32-year-old quarterback has participated in 81 games (63 starts) in his 10-year career, throwing for 94 touchdowns and 51 interceptions with a passer rating of 97.6.
- After returning to San Francisco in 2022 to be Trey Lance's backup quarterback, Garoppolo started 10 games that season when Lance was injured. However, a foot injury in December ended Garoppolo's season, leading the 49ers to turn to Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy, who guided them to Super Bowl LVIII in February. Now back in the NFC West Division, Garoppolo will serve as Matthew Stafford's backup quarterback in Los Angeles.
- Garoppolo will face a two-game suspension in 2024 for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy.

Quick Glance: Jaguars Signing Former 49ers Player Arik Armstead: Impact and Analysis
- The Jaguars are signing former 49ers defensive player Arik Armstead, as per sources. Armstead was released by the 49ers this week after recording five sacks in 12 games last season.
- Armstead will join the Jaguars' defense, adding to their strong lineup. The 49ers requested Armstead to take a significant pay cut, leading to his release. A trade to Houston fell through, resulting in the acquisition of Collins by the 49ers.
- Expected to play as a 3-4 defensive end for the Jaguars, Armstead has been consistent in penetrating pass plays and solid in run defense. His injury history played a role in the pay cut request and subsequent release from the 49ers.
- Armstead's potential hinges on his health, as injuries have impacted his performance and led to his release. His unique talent and versatility will be valuable if he can regain full health and maximize his defensive capabilities.

mercurynews.com/2024/03/25/49ers-stage-ownership-shift-jed-york-to-succeed-mother-as-primary-owner/
Quick Glance: 49ers Ownership Transition: Jed York to Lead Franchise
- Jed York is on the verge of succeeding his mother as the 49ers’ primary owner, a title change that isn’t surprising after his past 13 years as CEO and face of the ownership group.
- Jed York, 43, has spent nearly 20 years working amid the 49ers’ hierarchy, taking on the CEO role in 2010. Three Super Bowl trips have followed, including last season’s under coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, who both had their contracts extended prior to the season.
- While Denise DeBartolo York preferred a low-key profile during her tenure, Dr. John York has been a regular presence at games and occasionally at training sessions over the last two decades. However, it has been Jed York who has represented the ownership for almost a decade.
- Following a controversial ownership transfer due to Eddie DeBartolo's legal issues, Denise DeBartolo York became one of the NFL’s pioneering female owners. Among others currently acknowledged as primary or co-owners in the NFL are: Kim Pegula (Buffalo Bills), Virginia Halas McCaskey (Chicago Bears), Dee Haslam (Cleveland Browns), Sheila Ford Hamp (Detroit Lions), Janice McNair (Houston Texans), Carol Davis (Raiders), Gayle Benson (New Orleans Saints), Jody Allen (Seattle Seahawks), and Amy Adams Strunk (Tennessee Titans). According to ESPN, the Houston Texans are also anticipated to seek a transition of primary ownership from Janice McNair to her son Cal.

Quick Glance: San Francisco Acquiring Maliek Collins from Texans: Reasons Behind the Move and Defensive Lineup Placement
- The 49ers are adjusting their interior defense by acquiring defensive tackle Maliek Collins from the Texans, as confirmed by sources. In return for Collins, the Texans will receive a 2024 seventh-round pick. This particular selection is Pick No. 232, which arrived at the 49ers from the Vikings last season.
- With Armstead likely departing, the 49ers needed to add a starter at defensive tackle. They found this solution in Collins, who has been a consistent starter for the Texans over the past three seasons, accumulating 11 sacks during this period.
- With Collins now part of the team, the anticipated starting defensive lineup for the 49ers will consist of Bosa and Floyd at defensive end, along with Collins and Jones at defensive tackle. This lineup is expected to bring a stronger pass-rushing presence compared to the 2023 setup, primarily due to Floyd's inclusion.
- Assuming a seamless contract transition to San Francisco, the 49ers will absorb Collins' $8 million base salary, with $6 million of it fully guaranteed. Additionally, he has the potential to earn up to $500,000 in bonus money per game.

Quick Glance: Challenges Faced by the 49ers in Free Agency
- With their Super Bowl window open and numerous roster gaps to fill, especially on defense, the start of free agency was crucial for the 49ers.
- The developments in the initial days are not very promising.
- The Niners' performance in the marketplace has been lackluster so far, with questionable decisions casting doubt on their future success.
- Hope for redemption may lie in signing a top cornerback in the dormant free agent market to offset the disappointing defensive line moves.

Quick Glance: 49ers Plan Release of Arik Armstead
- The 49ers are set to release Arik Armstead, who has been with them since 2015 and signed an extension in 2020. He declined a significant salary reduction and will soon transition to free agency.
- Releasing Armstead could potentially lead the 49ers to enter the competition for Christian Wilkins, despite already having high salaries for defenders like Nick Bosa and Javon Hargrave. Additionally, the 49ers are slightly over the salary cap, justifying Armstead's release at the beginning of the 2024 league year.
- In 2020, the 49ers prioritized Armstead over DeForest Buckner, resulting in an extension that allowed them to retain Bosa. Despite facing injury challenges, Armstead has been among the top interior defenders in the NFL in recent years and played a crucial role in playoff games.
- Armstead's departure creates a gap for the 49ers, who have a reputation for significant investments in their defensive line. With Javon Kinlaw also entering free agency, the 49ers will be a team to watch as the free agency period unfolds.
