The owner of the Detriot Lions, Sheila Ford Hamp, just declared that quarterback Jared Goff is no longer with them.

Nearing his fourth NFL season, Taylor Jr. played in Green Bay for the previous three seasons, most of which he spent as the backup to Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon.

Taylor is expected to play a similar role for San Francisco, though he may have trouble getting on the roster. Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel usually get the most touches, but Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason are reliable backup options with reasonably priced contracts.

However, considering both Mason and Mitchell are about to approach the end of their current contracts, it’s possible that this deal will open the door for a move away from either RB.

Meanwhile, the 49ers are working hard to hold onto Brandon Aiyuk in addition to their pursuit of him in free agency. On March 28, Aiyuk discussed the matter on the podcast “The Night Cap.”

“My goal is to be compensated fairly,” Aiyuk stated. “This season, I’ve really come to terms with who I am as a person and a player, realizing the value that I bring to the team, the locker room, and the field.”

It makes sense that Aiyuk would take this attitude considering that he led the 49ers in receiving yards the previous two seasons. Nevertheless, it can be difficult to get players like Aiyuk big salaries.
