Rich Scangarello, who is currently the San Francisco 49ers' quarterbacks coach, continues his interviews with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday. He is meeting with new Broncos head coach Vic Fangio and, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, is expected to become the team's new offensive coordinator.
The 49ers initially denied the Broncos permission to interview Scangarello but
had a change of heart. He is interviewing for the position left open after Gary Kubiak departed the team.
"The 49ers initially blocked the Broncos' attempt to interview Scangarello, but the two sides did eventually come to an agreement," reported Mike Klis of 9News in the Denver area. "There is no guarantee Scangarello will get the Broncos' offensive coordinator position. Fangio will make the decision after interview[ing] Scangarello at Broncos' headquarters today."
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that the 49ers are expected to search for an in-house replacement should the Broncos hire Scangarello.

Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his

Brandon Aiyuk has been clear about his desire to receive fair compensation from the San Francisco 49ers—or any NFL team, for that matter.
"I'm trying to get what I deserve," Aiyuk said last month on a podcast. "I feel like this season, this season playing football, I figured out who I was as a person and a player — what I bring to the table, what I bring to the locker room, what I bring to the organization."
General manager John Lynch affirms that the 49ers aim to keep Aiyuk around, enduring he remains with the team for the remainder of his career. However, a recent report states there's
49ers trade up for offensive lineman in mock draft
The San Francisco 49ers hold the No. 31 overall pick, but speculation abounds that they may seek to move before or during the first round of next week's NFL Draft. With the offensive line as a prime target for improvement and the position going mostly ignored in free agency, a strategic trade-up to acquire an impact player could be in the cards.
Alyssa Barbieri proposes such a scenario in her latest mock draft for USA Today's Touchdown Wire. Barbieri envisions the 49ers trading with the Miami Dolphins to move up 10 spots, selecting former Alabama offensive lineman JC Latham.
