49ers camp preview: Who will fill out WR corps behind Samuel, Aiyuk?
Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:02:14 GMT
SANTA CLARA – Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk are entrenched as the 49ers’ starters for a fourth consecutive season since Aiyuk was drafted in 2020. Behind them, however, there are plenty of questions entering training camp about how the wide receivers room will shape up.Aiyuk is building off the first 1,000-yard season of his career, which was followed by the 49ers’ decision this spring to exercise the $14.1 million fifth-year option on his rookie contract. He started all 17 games and was the 49ers’ leading receiver with 78 catches, though his production dipped in the playoffs.Samuel is rebounding from his self-described “awful” regular season that began with a three-year contract extension in July after tense offseason negotiations. His dual-threat role diminished some with the addition of Christian McCaffrey, but injury still struck as he was carted off with a high ankle sprain during a Dec. 1 win over Tampa Bay. Still, he returned and made an impact in the playo...Glazer: My fellow California Democrats keep repeating the same mistakes

The California Legislature is beginning its summer recess having passed the latest state budget. The $310 billion plan reflects our values, dedicating spending to getting homeless people off the street, supporting schools, keeping public transit afloat and treating mental illness. As a member of the state Senate’s Democratic majority, I voted for all of those things.But as many Californians know, we’ve already spent billions of dollars on the same problems — with very little to show for it.Our failures are evidence that good intentions and lots of money are not enough to fix what ails the Golden State. To make our progressive beliefs mean anything, the Legislature must ensure that the money we spend is actually improving the lives of the people we say we are committed to helping.We can do that with two major changes in the way we work. First, we need to stop hamstringing programs and services with special interest demands that doom them to fail. Second, we need to gather and e...Powerball Jackpot soars to $1 billion after no winner in Monday’s drawing

Red tape has become an unwitting accomplice to climate change.Too often, clean energy projects needed to end our carbon dependence and protect our environment become bogged down by permitting and legal quagmires.This must end.This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed several infrastructure-streamlining bills out of a package of measures he had proposed in May to fast-track water, transportation and clean energy projects by reforming the state’s cumbersome permitting processes and the California Environmental Quality Act. By introducing his measures as budget trailer bills, Newsom drew criticism from environmental organizations and legislators who argued he was abusing the budget process.The bill signing ceremony ended a period of tumult between the administration and a Legislature that so far has only passed five of the governor’s 11 proposed measures. But any lingering animosity must be set aside because there is plenty of work that still needs to be done and no time to waste.California ...CHP investigating cause of driver going over Highway 1 cliff

SWANTON — A 51-year-old San Carlos man continued to face recovery Monday after driving off a coastal Highway 1 cliff Friday afternoon.The California Highway Patrol is investigating the crash, which took place around 1:30 p.m., near Scott Creek Beach and south of Swanton Road. In a media release Sunday, the CHP said that the driver, alone in his vehicle, was traveling westbound on Highway 1 in a 2023 Kia Forte “when, for undetermined reasons, the driver allowed the Kia to travel off the roadway and down a steep cliff.”After overturning multiple times, the Kia came to rest on the beach, partially submerged in the ocean, according to the CHP.
