Actually the rumors were more the other way around, there was talk a while back that Boeing might try and acquire NG. Nothing came of it so far and there is a good chance the US Government would block such a merger anyway.

As far as the B29 goes my uninformed impression from reading the forums was that at the time of the NG scandal all official work on all US aircraft and ships was stopped regardless of manufacturer (possibly there was a concern other companies like Boeing would try and take the outrageous NG settlement as a precedent and also claim royalties).
