However, Smith's extension shouldn't cause concern for 49ers fans, as it aligns with Aiyuk's expected range. Aiyuk's contract negotiations will likely focus on structure to accommodate salary cap flexibility, and the situations of other receivers from the same draft class, such as CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, and Tee Higgins, are also worth monitoring.

Washington Post Journalists to Strike for 24 Hours Over Contract Negotiations

Journalists at The Washington Post are planning a 24-hour strike to protest staff cuts and what they perceive as management's failure to negotiate in good faith during contract talks that have been ongoing for 18 months. The strike, the first in over four decades, comes as the newspaper faces financial challenges and seeks to reduce employee headcount by about 10%. The Washington-Baltimore News Guild, representing over 1,000 staff, claims mismanagement by the previous publisher led to layoffs and the company now aims to cut another 240 jobs through buyouts. The union accuses management of refusing to pay fair wages and threatening further layoffs if voluntary severance packages are not accepted.
