49ers won’t trade kicker Robbie Gould, per Rapoport

Frustrated kicker Robbie Gould no longer wants to play for the San Francisco 49ers and has requested to be traded after pulling the contract proposals he sent to the team. The 49ers won't trade him, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.


The 49ers placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Gould in February with the hopes of negotiating a new long-term deal before the July 15 deadline to do so. The kicker reportedly grew tired of the 14 months of negotiations, frustrated by San Francisco's decision to pursue a replacement in New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski, and decided he would like to play elsewhere.

"The bottom line is, I'm unsure if I want to play there anymore," Gould told ESPN. "At this point, I have to do what's best for me and my family back home."

Gould, 36, has remained in the Chicago area as his teammates reported to phase one of the 49ers' offseason program last week.

The 49ers seemed confident the team would work out a deal with Gould, and general manager John Lynch insisted on Monday that the kicker would be suited up once the regular season kicks off. Those comments may not have sat well with Gould.

"Robbie's going to be a part of us this coming year," Lynch said. "I know that. We would like it to be longer than that, and we've made an attempt to make that happen. We haven't come to an agreement as of yet, and we'll see where that goes.

"Robbie will be a part of us this coming year, and we're excited for that because he's very good at what he does. And he's also a big part of this team."

The brothers' mother, Cheryl Bosa, responded to an Instagram post speculating about the Los Angeles Chargers trading Joey Bosa to the 49ers. This would unite him with Nick Bosa and create a formidable family duo on the team's defensive line. Cheryl's response? "OMG! Do it for Mama [bear]," she shared via

Defensive tackle Arik Armstead is now a free agent after the San Francisco 49ers released him on Wednesday. However, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that he was almost headed to the Houston Texans. A source told Barrows that on Tuesday, the 49ers had a deal in place to trade Armstead for Texans defensive tackle Maliek Collins. However, the deal fell apart when the Texans agreed to terms with edge rusher Danielle Hunter. Despite the failed trade, the 49ers ended up acquiring Collins in exchange for a seventh-round pick, the No. 232 overall selection in next month's draft. Collins is the second defensive tackle San Francisco has added this week, with the
