DeMeco Ryans: C.J. Stroud has grown as a leader
“I think C.J. has done a really good job this offseason as a leader when it comes to working with other guys — knowing that he’s not just working by himself, but finding the avenues to get a group together and work together,” Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday. “That’s very important, especially when it comes to timing in the passing game for receivers and quarterbacks. They have to be in sync. And it shows that they see how important that was because guys were working together this summer.”

Report: Caleb Williams’ team asked for no-franchise tag clause before agreeing to rookie deal
“One thing I’m told is there was an effort made to get the Bears to agree not to use the franchise tag on Caleb Williams after he would finish the fifth year of his contract, assuming they would pick up the option,” ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio told 670 The Score, via NBC Sports Chicago. “But that did not go anywhere.”

Report: Chiefs rookie WR Xavier Worthy won’t start training camp on PUP list
Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy, the former Texas wide receiver who broke the combine record in the 40-yard dash, missed most of spring practice with a hamstring injury but won’t start training camp on the PUP list, per NFL reporter James Palmer.
#chiefs rookie WR Xavier Worthy, who suffered a hamstring injury and missed most of the spring, will not start training camp on PUP. He’s good to go, but will be eased back in. Not a ton of reps early, but he’s healthy which is big as he tries to establish chemistry with Mahomes.

Caleb Williams reportedly agrees to 4-year, $39M deal
The No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has reportedly agreed to his deal with the Chicago Bears on the same day rookies report to camp.

It’s unusual for a player as good as Aiyuk to be available, if he will actually be available. If Aiyuk moves, it’s a rare season-shifting move in mid-to-late July.

Brandon Aiyuk has grown into a great WR with 49ers
Brandon Aiyuk, 26, has been with the Niners his entire career. They drafted him with the 25th overall pick in 2020, and he’s produced for them. He has 269 receptions for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns for San Francisco over his four-year career. Aiyuk has managed to find a way to materially improve his game every single season, but he took a huge jump forward when Brock Purdy ascended to the starting quarterback position in 2022.
In Aiyuk’s first two seasons with the Niners, which were Purdy-free, he tallied 118 receptions for 1,574 yards and 10 touchdowns. But in his two most recent seasons, in which Aiyuk had Purdy slinging passes his way, he tallied 153 receptions for 2,357 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Could Brandon Aiyuk’s potential holdout prove costly under the fifth-year option?
Regarding Aiyuk and the #49ers– the leverage is held by SF in a case like this. 5th year option players are subject to fines for missing camp as well as preseason games. I believe its $40K per day and about $785K for each preseason game.
Report: 49ers have told teams they don’t intend to trade Brandon Aiyuk
Of course, this could just mean a big enough offer hasn’t come through yet:

Will Brandon Aiyuk’s 49ers request end up like Deebo Samuel?
Brandon Aiyuk is under contract for a little more than $14 million this season. The #49ers survived a trade request from Deebo Samuel. We’ll see if they can find their way through this one from Aiyuk. https://t.co/jKpRuBqOkJ
The 49ers and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk appear headed for a divorce, per NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo:
