Jarryd Hayne
Matt Maiocco spoke to a source who said that the 49ers are hoping RB Jarryd Hayne will clear waivers and re-sign to their practice squad on Monday.
- Jack Bechta points out that teams generally waive a player on Saturday to try to sneak them through waivers, as it’s harder for teams to make waiver claim over the weekend as they’re preparing for their upcoming games.
- Matt Barrows mentions that it would not be surprising to see the Seahawks place a waiver claim on Hayne.
- It’s worth mentioning that the Lions also had interest in Hayne before he signed with the 49ers.
Bears
