NFL Notes: 49ers, Browns, Cardinals, Seahawks

49ers

Former 49ers TE Delanie Walker said that Jim Harbaugh was trying to do whatever he could to get the team to re-sign him several years ago. However, former GM Trent Baalke seemingly did no agree with Harbaugh on bringing Walker back.

“Jim Harbaugh was trying to do basically everything in his power to get the deal done for me to stay,” Walker said, via Cam Inman of the Mercury News. “I don’t think the general manager (Trent Baalke) seen the same picture as Jim Harbaugh.at that time.

“I realized it was time for me to go somewhere else and show everybody how good I could be at the No. 1 spot, and that’s what I’ve been doing so far.”

Browns

New Browns GM John Dorsey tells Peter King of TheMMQB.com that he has scouted Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield six times this year and believes he’s a good quarterback prospect, despite the concerns about his height.

“I want to be able to project and articulate my opinion when the time comes and it matters,” Dorsey said. “I saw [Mayfield] at Kansas this year, in the OU-Kansas game. You’re darn right he’s a good quarterback, no matter how tall he is. Some would say he’s too short, but I would ask you: How tall is Russell Wilson? How tall is Chase Daniel?”
