Skip Bayless names the coach he wishes Jerry Jones had hired in 2024
Skip Bayless tells Stephen A. Smith that the Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 coaching hire of Brian Schottenheimer was a missed opportunity – he argues Jerry Jones should have chased Jim Harbaugh. Bayless praises Harbaugh’s success at Stanford, Michigan, the 49ers and the Chargers, claiming his “commanding” style would have revived a Cowboys team struggling, in part due to quarterback issues. He predicts Jones would reject Harbaugh’s independence, and notes that while the Ravens eventually land Harbaugh, the Cowboys continue down a shaky path.

Kansas City, Pittsburgh and San Francisco are circling three wide receivers ahead of the Nov. 12 trade deadline, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The Chiefs, looking to bolster Patrick Mahomes' arsenal after recent injuries, have shown interest in Jacksonville's breakout Brian Thomas Jr., while both the Chiefs and Steelers monitor Indianapolis slot‑receiver Josh Downs. Veteran Calvin Ridley also emerges as a possible target for any team needing immediate production. No concrete talks have been confirmed, and any move hinges on trade compensation and salary‑cap flexibility.
A’s First 2 Off-Season Additions Bode Well
The Oakland A's aim to reshape their roster by hiring two seasoned baseball executives: Cam Castro as GM and Taylor Smith as President of Baseball Operations. Both come from recent World Series teams—the Brewers and Rays—and bring deep experience in pitching development and analytics. Castro’s resume includes overseeing the Brewers' player development that turned raw arms into elite pitchers, while Smith’s background spans the frugal Rays and big‑market Red Sox. Their joint focus is to develop home‑grown talent like Luis Morales and Jack Perkins rather than trading away prospects, with the long‑term goal of making the A's a consistent postseason contender by 2027.
The 1 trade Dolphins must make in final week before 2026 NFL trade deadline
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Miami Dolphins, sitting 1‑6, should move edge rusher Josh Uche to the San Francisco 49 ers. Uche, on a one‑year deal, has posted 29 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in seven starts for Miami and will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. Trading him now could net draft picks or players while freeing up playing time for younger defenders like Chop Robinson. The 49ers, 6‑1 and dealing with injuries at defensive end, would add depth behind Nick Bosa and could use Uche’s pass‑rush ability without a large financial commitment.

Commanders Still Interested In WR Brandon Aiyuk

Agent Drew Rosenhaus says Aiyuk has filed reinstatement paperwork and is healthy. The 49ers have retained him on the left‑squad list, preferring to wait for a trade rather than absorb his $120 million contract.

NFL Trade Rumors Roundup: Latest on Brian Thomas Jr, Josh Downs, Kirk Cousins, NY Giants, Vikings and More
With the 2026 NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the biggest buzz centers on Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, who may head to the New York Giants—the only team reportedly offering a serious package, though still below the Colts' asking price of a future first‑rounder or a McCaffrey‑style haul. Wideout Josh Downs is also on the move, likely for a fourth‑round pick, with the Chiefs, Steelers and 49ers showing interest. Meanwhile, the Vikings, struggling under Kyler Murray's low QBR, are exploring quarterback options instead of a running back. The Jacksonville Jaguars field interest in Pro Bowl receiver Brian Thomas Jr., but his value as a downfield threat and locker‑room popularity may keep him in Jacksonville.

NY Giants, Broncos & Vikings Lose MAJOR Running Back Trade Option in New Week 9 Rumor
With the NFL trade deadline looming, the New York Giants, Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings lose a major option: Derrick Henry will not be on the market until after Nov. 10. Teams eyeing a running back upgrade must now focus on Jonathan Taylor or Tony Pollard, but a Taylor deal could demand a first‑round pick or a package akin to the 49ers‑Panthers McCaffrey trade (future second‑ to fifth‑rounders). Henry, despite his age and lower contract, is off‑limits until the deadline, and league sources say the Ravens have no intention of moving him before the trade window closes.
Two Police Cars Appear Outside 49ers Facility Before Brandon Aiyuk’s Meeting With ‘Big Bosses’
Brandon Aiyuk makes his first public appearance at the 49ers after hiring agent Drew Rosenhaus and filing for reinstatement, but two Santa Clara police cruisers stir speculation about his June 3 misdemeanor warrant tied to a December 2025 speeding video. Aiyuk and Rosenhaus meet with team executives for about 75 minutes; coach Kyle Shanahan stays away, saying the issue is unrelated to football. The wide receiver says he’s healthy and ready, yet the NFL still requires him to repay roughly $13 million in bonus money before reinstatement. The 49ers have not yet announced his roster status.
