49ers 49ers GM John Lynch says the team is moving on from the rumors that wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk were available for trade during the draft, even after the team selected Florida WR Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 pick. “During the course of drafts and offseasons, do conversations happen? Absolutely they do,” Lynch said, via Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. “We’re past that now. We’re thrilled to add to that group [of] Jauan Jennings, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell, Danny Gray, and now you add Ricky Pearsall, Jake Cowing.

Per Over The Cap, Seahawks CB Michael Jackson signed a new contract that was officially filed to the league on Monday.  The contract has a base value of $1,222,500, including a signing bonus of $167,500.  It appears to be a pay cut after the Seahawks tendered Jackson as a restricted free agent earlier this offseason. That deal was worth a little more than $3 million but included no guaranteed money.  Seattle drafted two cornerbacks on Day 3 last week, making Jackson’s place on the roster a little more precarious.  Jackson, 27, is a former fifth-round pick of the Cowboys ba ..read more

The Seattle Seahawks announced Sunday that they’ve signed undrafted nose tackle Buddha Jones to a contract. Jones took part in the Seahawks’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis the past few days and did well enough to earn an offer from the team. Seattle had an open roster spot, so there was no corresponding move required to sign Jones.  Jones, 6-foot-1, 307 pounds, began his college career at Kent State before transferring to Troy. He wound up going undrafted out of Troy a few weeks ago. For his career, Jones appeared in 34 games at Troy over the course of 34 games and recorded 64 tackles ..read more

The Seahawks are signing first-round DT Byron Murphy Jr. to a rookie contract, according to Tom Pelissero.  Murphy, 21, was a one-year starter at Texas and earned first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2023. He was one of the breakout players of the 2023 college football season and the Seahawks used the No. 16 pick in the 2024 draft to select him. The No. 16 overall pick is signing a four-year, $16,083,122 fully guaranteed contract. The deal is also projected to include a $8,287,557 signing bonus and a $2,866,889 cap figure for the 2024 season, yet these numbers are likely slightly higher given ..read more

Undrafted free agency is an important part of the team-building process. From a pure numbers perspective, the NFL has to rely on undrafted free agents to compromise somewhere between a quarter and a third of all active players — not even counting practice squads. There were 257 players drafted last month and at least that many, probably more than 300, will be signed as undrafted free agents.  That makes undrafted free agency a potentially important source of talent. Ninety percent of these players will be cut and wash out of the NFL in a few years. But there will be a couple dozen who sti ..read more

Seahawks GM John Schneider said he hasn’t ruled out re-signing free agent RB Rashaad Penny and it’s “possible” they bring him back, via Gregg Bell. Penny, a former first-round pick of the Seahawks, visited with Seattle last month but remains unsigned.  Seattle has five running backs on the roster currently after reportedly signing George Holani and TaMerik Williams as undrafted free agents. The Seahawks double-dipped in the draft last year with Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh to go along with Kenneth Walker.  On paper, that’s a pretty full room, but it’s possible an injury during ..read more
