JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jakobi Meyers has worn No. 16 his entire seven-year NFL career, but he knew that wasn't going to be the case after being traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That number belongs to quarterback Trevor Lawrence, which is why Meyers didn't even ask. "I just understood the price tag that would've came with it, and I wasn't trying to take out another mortgage," he said. "I'm good where I'm at."

Considering he hasn't had a good season and fell down the depth chart throughout the summer, it's almost shocking to see any team willing to give up even late-round draft capital to acquire him. But given the losses the 49ers have dealt with, like Fred Warner, it's not entirely surprising that they were interested in providing White a fresh start. The Patriots make their first big trade ahead of the 2025 NFL deadline

Carter, a fifth-round pick in 2021, became the NFL's highest-paid slot corner in 2024 when he signed a three-year, $30.75 million extension. He's under contract through 2027 for $20.3 million, but only $2.7 million is guaranteed -- his remaining base salary this season ($1.3 million) and a partial guarantee in 2026 ($1.4 million). An additional $4 million will become guaranteed if he's on a roster next March.

Adam Peters gave up only a fifth-round pick for the longtime San Francisco 49ers standout, whom he helped scout and draft. The national media clowned the acquisition, calling Samuel an out-of-shape prima donna whose best days were in the rearview mirror. Five games into the campaign, the move looks like an absolute steal for the Commanders. Commanders are getting exactly what they hoped from Deebo Samuel Sr.

It was Oct. 30, 2022 and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan had his first chance to unleash his new toy on the Los Angeles Rams. Christian McCaffrey arrived by trade 10 days earlier for a handful of draft picks, none in the first round. The Rams, coached by Shanahan's longtime friendly rival Sean McVay, had also tried to trade with Carolina to get McCaffrey.

The Minnesota Vikings made a change to their quarterback room Sunday, reaching agreement on a contract with veteran quarterback Carson Wentz and trading quarterback Sam Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Wentz, 32, played his only season for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024, when he served as backup to Patrick Mahomes. Wentz played in two games as a reserve and started the final regular season game against the Denver Broncos

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders are trading running back Brian Robinson to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 sixth-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Robinson did not play in Washington's preseason game Monday vs. Cincinnati, signaling the end of his relationship with the franchise. The Commanders had planned to release him if they could not find a trade partner. Washington had been shopping Robinson since earlier this month, in part because of the depth coaches say the team has at running back.
