A day after Robbie Gould's trade request,  NFL Network/NFL.com's Ian Rapoport tweeted Wednesday morning that the Niners will not oblige Gould's demand. 

Here's the scoop from Rap Sheet:

Meanwhile, the #Ravens just announced they locked up All-Pro K Justin Tucker on a contract extension. This will also impact the #49ers and K Robbie Gould, who is on (unsigned) the franchise tag and sources say will not be traded.

The kicker was franchise tagged on  Feb. 26, which means he is in line to make roughly $5 million.

For Gould's part, his goal is to play at home in Chicago, as he detailed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"At this point, I have to do what's best for me and my family back home."
