Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:10:13 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Defensive lineman Marlon Davidson, just three years ago, was celebrated by the Atlanta Falcons as a second-round draft pick from Auburn.Monday, the 49ers announced they’ve signed the Falcons’ injury-ravaged castoff, looking to wedge him into a defensive line rotation that’s vying to regain NFL supremacy.Also signed to one-year deals were quarterback Brandon Allen, a journeyman backup, and tight end Troy Fumagalli, a member of the 49ers’ practice squad last season. No corresponding roster moves were announced.So, what happened to Davidson’s career, after it began as the NFL draft’s 47th overall pick?Knee injuries limited the 6-foot-3, 303-pound to just one career start and just one career sack, to go along with one fumble recovery, one interception, two pass breakups and 29 tackles in 19 games.About that interception, it was the 18th (and final?) pick-six thrown by Tom Brady, and it vaulted the Falcons into the lead of their Dec...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:10:13 GMT

By Matthew Boyle | BloombergRemote jobs are still plentiful, but these days you have to know where to look.The most remote-friendly city isn’t San Francisco or San Jose, California, but Bloomfield, Connecticut, headquarters of insurer Cigna Group, where nearly half of job vacancies offer some freedom to work from home. It’s followed by Augusta, the capital of Maine, and Dover, Delaware, according to a team of researchers who analyzed the share of job vacancies that specifically allow working from home at least one day a week. The top ten isn’t limited to cities in the Northeast; also making the cut are Lansing, Michigan, and Helena, Montana.Those seeking remote jobs should steer clear of Burleson, Texas, along with Olive Branch, Mississippi, and Mount Juliet, Tennessee.With many companies slowing hiring, conducting layoffs and getting stricter about return-to-office policies, there’s concern that remote jobs are getting more scarce. The data, from academics including Stanford Univer...
