NFL Media analyst Brian Baldinger posted a fantastic tribute on Twitter to recently-retired offensive tackle Joe Staley. Within the video, Baldinger applauds Staley's on-the-field efforts over the years, noting the many times he could be seen running downfield to deliver a game-changing block, and how he would often be among the first players to meet a scoring teammate in the end zone.
"The effort down the field was unsurpassed," Baldinger said.
The analyst notes how consistent Staley was in run and pass blocking over his 13 NFL seasons, whether the 49ers were good or not.
"Joe Staley retires after 13 years, 181 starts, not counting the postseason," Baldinger adds. "But I know this, and everybody that knows Joe Staley knows this as well: Whatever Joe Staley does next in life — he's only 35 years old — you can guarantee that he's going to have a smile on his face, a zest for life, and he's going to be skipping into the next step of his life."

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.
