FLORHAM PARK, N.J. A look at what s happening around the New York Jets:
1. Days numbered?Sam Darnold s chances of returning in 2021 seemed to improve with the hiring of coach Robert Saleh, who spoke of the quarterback in glowing terms (privately to friends as well). Now, 46 days before the 2021 NFL draft, those chances appear to be fading.
General manager Joe Douglas all but posted a For Sale sign when he recently admitted he is open to fielding trade inquiries. Since then, nothing has changed with regard to Darnold. The Jets are listening. This month, Douglas will be a fixture on the QB/pro day circuit. It kicked off Friday at North Dakota State, where he scouted Trey Lance, a likely top-10 pick.
The San Francisco 49ers have locked up one of their key cornerbacks before the start of free agency by agreeing to a two-year contract with Emmanuel Moseley before he became a restricted free agent.

Designed D&H railroad route northward

CARBONDALE – Bryce R. Blair served as City Engineer for Carbondale, Pa. in the late 19th century. One of his projects apart from this role was designing the Jefferson Branch of the Erie Railroad which connected Carbondale s rail hub to Lanesboro and beyond.
News reports in May 1869 stated that work of building the Jefferson Branch Railroad has commenced, under the supervision of Bryce R. Blair, Jr., chief engineer. The distance was 37 miles, extending a rail connection north from Carbondale through Forest City, to Lanesboro (which is next to Susquehanna).
The Delaware & Hudson (D&H) Canal Company furnished the funds. The Erie directed the construction and both equipped and operated the road when it was finished.

When the San Francisco 49ers decide this offseason, it’s not going to be in a box. They’re not going to look at their secondary and think, “we should let Jaquiski Tartt walk.” The conversation would look more like, “is Tarvarius Moore giving us enough at safety where he could let Tartt walk? Could a rookie give us more? Are there any free agents at the position that is a clear upgrade from what’s currently on the roster?”
