Chip Kelly’s protege gets Oregon questions; Quinton Patton returns

ORLANDO — A day after Chip Kelly fielded questions about the head-coaching vacancy at Oregon, one of his proteges did the same. Central Florida head coach Scott Frost, whose school is hosting the 49ers before they visit Chicago on Sunday, said he's not in line to replace Mark Helfrich, who was fired Tuesday. Frost said he hadn't been contacted by the school and wasn't interested in leaving UCF after one season. The fact that Frost, 41, a rookie head coach, was being floated as a candidate suggests that he learned plenty under Kelly, his boss from 2009 through -12 at Oregon. Asked if he thought Frost would have chances to move up the coaching ladder, Kelly said: I don't think about opportunities for other people down the road. Frost spent his first two college seasons at Stanford, became a solid quarterback at Nebraska and played five seasons in the NFL as a defensive back. Wide receiver Quinton Patton (concussion) was back at practice in a noncontact jersey after missing the previous two sessions.

By David Bonilla

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
