Desmond King A Trade Candidate?
There's a chance that the Los Angeles Chargers look to trade cornerback Desmond King.

Matt Breida Could Be Playing Elsewhere In 2020
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida didn't have much of a role on offense to end last season behind Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman. If Jerick McKinnon is actually healthy in 2020, he gives the 49ers a legitimate route-runner and third-down option out of the backfield. San Fran could be willing to trade Breida's […]
