"This past week has really made Kyle and I reflect on our past 8 years in the Bay. We grew up here. We turned friends into family here. We won championships here and we lost championships here. We feel so incredibly blessed to have called the bay home for the past 8 years. It's truly been the best years of our lives. Kyle's curtain isn't closed just yet and we couldn't be more happy and emotional to stay home!!! ❤️ We're forever Faithful"
Last offseason, 49ers general manager John Lynch approached Juszczyk to take a pay cut. He agreed to restructure his deal, which created $4 million in salary-cap space for the 2024 season. Afterward, Juszczyk said "it hurt" when he was asked to take less money but his love for the team and area helped him decide to stay.
A nine-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, Juszczyk has six rushing touchdowns and 18 receiving touchdowns in his career. He was a fourth-round draft pick in 2013 out of Harvard by the Baltimore Ravens.

Ex-New York Giants DT Chris Canty accused of 'bullying' renter
Former New York Giants defensive lineman Chris Canty is allegedly playing hardball with the lone tenant of a Manhattan townhouse he has owned since 2020. Canty, now an ESPN Radio host in New York City, has one tenant remaining in the Upper West Side building, which is reportedly worth $5.2 million. From the New York Post: The 6-foot-7-inch, 380-pound defensive end wants to transform the nine-unit West 89th Street building into his own luxury townhouse — but 5-foot-6 data analyst Stuart Kalmenson stands in his way. Kalmenson, 59, has lived in his two-bedroom apartment just steps from Central Park for 19 years, paying $2,600 a month rent when Canty, who works out of NYC for ESPN and has a home in Hilton Head, South Carolina, bought the building. Kalmenson has spent more than two years without utilities, made it through the winter without heat or hot water; and lives with floors so rotted and chewed through by mice he's been force 'to 'block off' about one-third of the living room for safety reasons,' he claimed in court filings. Legal action has been filed on both sides and is ongoing. The issue is still unresolved. 'If I'm entitled to a rent-stabilized lease. I don't need to get bullied out of my own home by some guy just because he happened to be a football player,' Kalmenson representatives claim since the building is a co-op, it is not subject to rent stabilization. All of the other tenants who resided in the building when Canty bought it moved out when their leases expired, allowing renovations to begin.

Is ESPN's hypothetical Trey Hendrickson trade feasible for the Lions?
Is ESPN's hypothetical Trey Hendrickson trade feasible for the Lions? Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson continues to be in a contract dispute with the team. Until the issue is resolved, Hendrickson will continue to be the subject of trade speculation. With that speculation, and with the need for extra help on the edge, the Detroit Lions will be linked to any potential trade discussion for Hendrickson. But is a trade actually feasible for the team? Before getting into that, let's discuss the hypothetical trade idea for Hendrickson to the Lions that was proposed by ESPN's Ben Solak this week. Solak proposed Hendrickson and a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Lions for a 2026 second-round pick and a conditional 2027 fourth-round pick that can become a third. Solak wrote: "Lions general manager Brad Holmes has acknowledged the fan base wants a secondary edge rusher far more than he does, but I imagine a player of Hendrickson's caliber would change Holmes' calculus slightly. Hendrickson isn't the sort of run defender the Lions might prioritize, yet a pass-rush duo of Aidan Hutchinson and Hendrickson might be the scariest in the NFL. "The Lions are still legitimate Super Bowl contenders and should behave as such with aggressive veteran trades. They have plenty of cap space to extend Hendrickson, which he would demand of an acquiring team." The Lions currently have $40 million in salary cap space for 2025, but are currently projected to be about $14 million over the cap for 2026, according to Spotrac. That can easily be addressed by restructuring contracts, including that of quarterback Jared Goff, for example. Goff is currently scheduled to make $55 million in base salary. The Lions do have other players set for new contracts coming up and the money will start getting pretty high. Not the least of which is Detroit's leading edge-rusher Aidan Hutchinson. In addition, safety Brian Branch is also due for an extension after this season. Tight end Sam LaPorta will also be coming up. All three have two years left on their rookie contracts -- Hutchinson had his fifth-year option picked up, Branch and LaPorta were not eligible for fifth-year options.

Photo byWhile a deal is now done and Rodgers will be the team's starter, some shocking new details have been revealed about what the Steelers wanted to do at quarterback. He was not their top target. Read more: Steelers Trade Proposal Would Land Another Superstar for Aaron Rodgers According to a report from ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Pittsburgh tried to re-sign Justin Fields and wanted to trade for Matthew Stafford. Those two players were the Steelers' first top preferences. When those two players decided to play elsewhere, Pittsburgh then turned its attention to Rodgers. "This was the best move that the Pittsburgh Steelers could make right now," Schefter said. "But, lets also remember, this was the third option for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They were in on Matthew Stafford and couldn't get done a trade. They tried to re-sign Justin Fields, he opted to go to the New York Jets where he will meet Aaron Rodgers on opening day. After they couldn't get a trade done for Stafford and couldn't get Fields re-signed, they pivoted to Aaron Rodgers. So Aaron Rodgers, right now, was their third choice." Despite not getting their top two options, the Steelers found a great consolation prize. Rodgers should put together a strong season in 2025.

Those numbers would be a massive upgrade from what Pittsburgh had under center in 2024. There has been a split opinion about the Rodgers signing within the Steelers' fan base. Some believe he is going to bring a lot of success to the team, while others don't like the move at all. It will be interesting to see what the 2025 season has in store. However, the deal is done and Rodgers will be the lead man in Pittsburgh. For more Pittsburgh Steelers and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
