Dante Fowler Jr. will not hit the open market. The Los Angeles Rams have reached an agreement with the edge rusher to keep him in Los Angeles, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN and announced by the Rams.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Fowler will sign a one-year deal.
The 49ers were expected to make a run at Fowler, says Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Instead, the 24-year-old will remain with the NFC West rival.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made Fowler, who played college football at Florida, the No. 3 overall selection in 2015. The Jaguars traded him to the Rams on October 30, 2018.
Fowler registered 30 combined tackles, four sacks, a pass defensed, and two forced fumbles through 15 games and six starts with the Los Angeles Rams and Jaguars in 2018. He has recorded 83 combined tackles, 16 sacks, six passes defensed, and four forced fumbles through his three NFL seasons.

49ers add pass rusher in new 7-round mock draft
Marcus Mosher of The 33rd Team revealed his latest mock draft, which goes seven rounds deep and projects every selection for every NFL team. While most predict that the San Francisco 49ers will add an offensive lineman with their first selection, No. 31 overall, Mosher has the Bay Area team going in a different direction.

"It wouldn't be a shock to see Laiatu Latu fall in the draft due to his medical history, but he is too good of a value to pass up here at No. 31," Mosher wrote. "The San Francisco 49ers have been searching for the right pass

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
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.
