Odell Beckham Jr. trade talks.Jay Glazer
L.J. Collier Jersey , who in a previous Q&A column for TheAthletic.com made a Beckham trade Glazer’s “bold prediction” for the offseason, writes in his latest series of responses to reader inquiries that the Browns weren’t the only team in the mix for Beckham.“The 49ers were in several different times,” Glazer writes. “They tried during the season and they tried here in the offseason. Someone with the Giants told me they were asking for the second pick of the draft from the 49ers
Marquise Blair Jersey , which the 49ers weren’t willing to do.”It’s unclear whether the 49ers offered anything other than the second overall pick. Ultimately, the Giants received the 17th overall pick, a third-round pick
D.K. Metcalf Jersey , and safety Jabrill Peppers for Beckham.Rumors linking the 49ers to Beckham had been swirling for months, as people who frequent this corner of the web surely realize. Even if the Giants could have gotten a better deal from the 49ers than the one the Giants ultimately accepted, there’s value in getting Beckham out of the conference altogether and seeing him only once every four years. The Raiders recently learned that guard Richie Incognito will be suspended for the first two games of the 2019 season.Incognito is slated to compete for the left guard job in Oakland and Monday saw the team add a veteran who could find himself in the mix for that spot before
Cody Barton Jersey , after and during Incognito’s suspension.The Raiders announced the signing of Jonathan Cooper on Monday afternoon. Wide receiver Montay Crockett was waived in a corresponding move.Cooper was a Cardinals first-round pick in 2013 and missed his rookie year with a broken leg. He returned to start 11 games over the next two seasons and was traded to the Patriots as part of the Chandler Jones deal in 2016. Cooper never played a game with the Patriots and has spent time with Cleveland, Dallas, San Francisco and Washington since leaving New England.Denzelle Good was on hand as Incognito’s competition at left guard and Cooper will presumably join them once training camp opens later this month.
