He joined a team with Colin Kaepernick and Colt McCoy and Scott Tolzien, and was talked about as a possible multi-purpose player, to be used on special teams, as a receiver, running back and quarterback, or perhaps stashed on the practice squad.But he clearly outperformed Tolzien at quarterback, and Tolzien was released after Sunday's victory over the Vikings. Then Daniels outlasted veteran Seneca Wallace, who was brought in late this summer as a possible option if McCoy faltered.

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
