Then, Jed York tweeted the following, and some fans wondered if the 49ers' brain trust was having a drinking party. However, it allowed the hashtag #Kyle to trend on Twitter, which was entertaining. So, thanks for that, Jed.
It sounds like a new deal for Juszczyk could be coming, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, and it could be finalized as quickly as today.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport adds that San Francisco and the fullback—or his representatives, at least—are scheduled to talk again this afternoon. While no deal is done yet, something could happen soon.
ESPN's Adam Schefter spoke with Juszczyk's agent, Joe Linta, who had this to say about Lynch's late-night comments.
We'll have to wait and see if something gets "hammered out" today, as Barrows states. Juszczyk, widely considered the best fullback in the league and an excellent lead blocker, is an integral part of head coach Kyle Shanahan's rushing attack. Juszczyk has earned five consecutive Pro Bowl selections.
H/t to Patrick Tulini for the find.
