49ers’ championship window is open regardless of free agency action

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 19:35:34 GMT

As Mike McGlinchey makes his foray into free agency, he does so with mixed emotions, and that likely goes for any of the 49ers’ free agents.“It’s stressful that I’ll be leaving a situation in a Super Bowl window, if that is the case,” McGlinchey said Wednesday on KNBR 680-AM.Yes, the 49ers are in that so-called championship window. It was perennially ajar as they won the Lombardi Trophy five times, from 1981-95. It opened again from 2011-13.The 2019 season saw the 49ers surprisingly step forth again as contenders, and they’ve reached the NFC Championship Game in three of the past four seasons, albeit advancing just once toward a Super Bowl defeat in February 2020.Being a title contender should be the No. 1 drawing card for veteran free agents. But money talks.So “contender” status may not be enough to woo some, whether they’re aging mercenaries or, in McGlinchey’s case, first-time free agents seeking generational wealth.Don’t be alarmed if the 49ers fail to splurge on a household na...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 19:35:34 GMT

(CNN) — La lucha del Gobierno de Biden por evitar el contagio financiero de la quiebra del Silicon Valley Bank es tanto un intento de proteger una economía resistente pero aún vulnerable como de evitar graves consecuencias políticas.El Departamento del Tesoro y los reguladores federales insistieron en que no existía ningún riesgo sistémico para el sistema bancario en su conjunto que pudiera provocar una repetición del cataclismo de 2008, mientras se apresuraban a adoptar medidas contra la apertura de los mercados asiáticos para evitar una avalancha de bancos estadounidenses pequeños o regionales.Este domingo por la tarde, los reguladores adoptaron medidas de emergencia para garantizar los depósitos de los clientes del SVB.
