Kicker Robbie Gould won’t be traded despite contract dispute

The San Francisco 49ers are not expected to trade kicker Robbie Gould, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Gould received the franchise tag on Feb. 26, and not much good has happened since then. ESPN’s Adam Schefter provided more details on Wednesday:

“The 36-year-old Gould indicated that he has gotten tired of 14 months of contract negotiations and wants to be closer to his wife and children in Chicago. After 11 years with the Bears, Gould was released. He spent 2016 with the New York Giants before signing a two-year deal with the Niners.
