49ers face potential loss of rising star Aaron Banks to rival Cardinals
sportingnews.com —
The San Francisco 49ers face potential changes as their playoff hopes decline. After a recent win against the Chicago Bears, their chances were hurt by victories from division rivals Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. Key player Aaron Banks, a left guard, may leave in free agency due to salary cap constraints. Reports suggest he could sign with the Arizona Cardinals, a division rival looking to strengthen their offensive line. Banks, 27, is having a standout season and may seek a significant pay increase from his current $7 million deal. The 49ers must decide whether to extend his contract amid financial pressures from other star players.
