Linebacker Terrell Suggs is expected to become an Arizona Cardinal on Wednesday when impending free agents can officially sign new contracts. The San Francisco 49ers made a late push to sign him before Arizona ultimately won out, according to a report by John Gambadoro of KMVP-FM in the Phoenix area.
Suggs, 36, is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2011. He returns to Arizona where he played high school and college football.
The Ravens made Suggs the No. 10 overall selection in 2003. He registered 34 combined tackles, seven sacks, six passes defensed, and a forced fumble through 16 starts with the Ravens in 2018. Suggs has recorded 846 combined tackles, 132.5 sacks, a safety, 60 passes defensed, seven interceptions, two touchdowns, and 35 forced fumbles through his 16 NFL seasons.

Insiders identify late risers who 49ers could target in NFL Draft
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, ESPN contributors have highlighted some prospects who have seen their draft stock rise throughout the evaluation process. Jordan Reid and Matt Miller pinpointed players who could hear their names called at the end of the first round.
Interestingly, both of the prospects identified by Reid and Miller play in the trenches but on different sides of the ball.

However, it wouldn't surprise many people if the

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.
