The 49ers are involved in a dispute with the city of Santa Clara over their 2016 rent payment at Levi’s Stadium, with both sides disagreeing on how much the team has to pay to play at the South Bay facility. “The 49ers have made all required lease payments for the 2015-2016 fiscal year ending March 31,” team spokesman Bob Lange said.

On Monday, Cleveland head of football operations Sashi Brown said the team’s interest in Kaepernick was overblown by the media and a deal for the 49ers’ quarterback was highly unlikely to occur. “All of those discussions were very preliminary, way over-reported, period,” Brown told reporters at the NFL owners’ meetings in Boca Raton, Fla. Brown spoke two days after Cleveland hosted former... Читать дальше...
