49ers
49ers GM John Lynch said he’s spoken to a few teams about potential trades in recent days.
โItโs kind of thatย time of year, where people are calling and saying, โHey, youโre strong here, weโre strong here. Letโs just kind of keep these things in mind.โ And, this is a great opportunity to do that. We did have some of those discussions,โ Lynch said, via Matt Maiocco of NBC Bay Area. โThe greatest thing is lots of times youโre throwing on [film of] a preseason game. We get a chance for three days to look at some people we might be interested in. So youโre always doing that. I think theyโre doing that as well and itโs another productive thing out of this week.โ

Seahawks
Seahawks HC Pete Carroll explained that they did extensive work the domestic violence situation involving CB Trumaine Brock before the signed him to a one-year contract on Wednesday.
“What I would say to you is, I don’t know how anybody could have done a more extensive look into this,” Carroll said, via ESPN.com. “John [Schneider, the team’s general manager] started this quite some time ago and followed it throughout to make sure we knew exactly what was going on. I’m not going to go into particulars for you, but we feel assured that we have done all of the homework that can be done and done a little bit past that and then maybe past that.
“We’ve really done our work here and feel that we’re in a good place with him.”
Titans
Titans DL DaQuan Jones, who protested the national anthem last year along with his teammates, admitted that he doesn’t want to be labeled as “a Colin Kaepernick” by teams next year.
“It’s going to affect your job, your endorsements and your money,” said Jones, via Cameron Wolfe of ESPN. “Someone like me, going into my fourth year, I’m trying to get paid too. A lot of teams will look down at that and say, ‘He’s a Colin Kaepernick.'”
