1. Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson killed in car crash
USATSI
Tragic news struck the NFL on Fourth of July Weekend, with Khyree Jackson, 24, among three victims of a fatal accident that occurred in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, overnight Saturday. A fourth-round draft pick out of Oregon this April, Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene alongside two former high school teammates. Maryland State Police believe Jackson’s vehicle was struck by another car at high speed, and that alcohol may have contributed to the other driver’s actions.
“I am absolutely crushed by this news,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said in a team statement. “Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him. In our short time together, it was evident Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him. I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree’s family, friends, teammates and coaches.”
2. Brandon Aiyuk trade proposals: Three-way deal?
The San Francisco 49ers want to keep the All-Pro wide receiver, and Aiyuk prefers to stay put. Yet both sides have failed to strike a long-term contract agreement, and Aiyuk continues to tease a potential trade, this time sharing footage of himself reviewing Washington Commanders practice film. It got us thinking: What could Washington actually offer San Francisco to pry Aiyuk from the Bay Area? We’ve got three proposed deals, including this splashy three-way possibility:
- Broncos get: WR Jamison Crowder (Washington), 2025 third-round pick (Washington)
- Commanders get: WR Brandon Aiyuk (San Francisco)
- 49ers get: WR Courtland Sutton (Denver), 2025 second-round pick (Washington)
Let’s get funky, eh?…
