      2. “It’s disappointing. I’m not the first one to go through it like this. This is kind of historically how they’ve done negotiations. It’s disappointing when you think you’re a cornerstone of the franchise to be treated like that. But disappointing, I know the contract and salary cap, what’s going on. Franchise tag isn’t exactly in play for them. There’d be a lot of dead money.” – Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield on not reaching an agreement with the team on a new contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. The San Francisco 49ers reacquired receiver Deebo Samuel on a one-year, $7 million deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
