NFC Notes: Calais Campbell, Brock Purdy, 49ers, Cardinals, Seahawks

49ers

  • Dianna Russini of The Athletic names Patriots DL Davon Godchaux and WR Kendrick Bourne as potential 49ers trade targets ahead of the deadline.
  • Russini also mentions Colts DTs DeForest Buckner and Broncos DT D.J. Jones as candidates for a reunion in San Francisco but she doesnโ€™t โ€œget the sense Indy or Denver are open to moving either player.โ€
  • Because QB Brock Purdy is due for an extension after the season, Russini believes the 49ers could โ€œbe temptedโ€ to listen to offers for high-salaried veterans.
  • Russini thinks WR Deebo Samuel is off the table but CB Charvarius Ward could generate interest with his expiring contract.
  • Overall, Russini doesnโ€™t expect San Francisco to sell at the deadline despite a rough start because of how close the division remains.
  • 49ers CB Deommodore Lenoir and OT Trent Williams were both fined $11,817 for Unnecessary Roughness related to striking or kicking in Week 7.

Cardinals

Ahead of a matchup with his former team, Dolphins DE Calais Campbell opened up on previously thinking he would play in Arizona for his entire career.

โ€œI did think that when I was in Arizona I was going to be there for my whole career,โ€ Campbell said, via Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. โ€œI was kind of shocked when the time came to go out to other places. But I think sometimes new beginnings are good for you.โ€

Seahawks

Seahawks defensive linemen Derick Hall and Jarran Reed patched things up after the two had a verbal argument on the sidelines following a roughing the passer penalty from Hall in Week 8.

โ€œWe told each other we love each other,โ€ Hall said, via the team website. โ€œThereโ€™s no bad blood. He loves the game. I love the game. In that moment things got heated. Heโ€™s a leader and heโ€™s the leader of our group. When stuff hits the fan, you have to lean on all the guys and maybe we both could have done some things a bit better.โ€

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald was more bothered by the penalty than he was the fight.

โ€œWasnโ€™t a smart penalty,โ€ Macdonald noted. โ€œJust thatโ€™s not how we train our guys to attack quarterbacks, so wasnโ€™t a smart move.โ€
