Free agency is coming, and with it a LOT of QB moves. Some have already happened. Jac Mones is now a Jag. He was traded for a 6th round pick by the Pats!
Baker Mayfield is staying with the Bucs.
Really thought the Raiders would go hard after Russell Wilson, but he’s a Steeler now. Real curious to see how that works out. Real curious to see what the Raiders do at QB as well what with Jimmy being unceremoniously cut. Brilliant work by the Raiders front office BTW!!! Trade the better QB, get a lesser QB, keep the shitty coach, fire the shitty coach halfway thru the season, and can the lesser QB. If you didn’t see that coming, you must work for Prince Valiant.
The big deal that will determine a lot is Kirk Cousins. He of the 35 year old snapped achilles. He’s more than likely staying in Minn as he’s a $29 million cap hit if he’s cut/traded. He was playing well when he got hurt, but he has been the master of getting in to the playoffs, but nowhere once there. He has till Wednesday to make the call. Atlanta is the likely spot if he does move.
Speaking of Mac Jones, his compadre in that 2021 draft, Justin Fields, is on the skids in Chi-town and looks to play somewhere else. The Giants? They are off Danny Dimes as he’s throwing more bricks than coins these days and he’s hurt for at least a month of the 2024 season. But he’s a $48 million cap hit either way. Ouch.
Got to wonder if the Bears are looking to Sourdough Sam Darnold to be their bridge QB if they draft Caleb Williams. The Redskins and Pats look to draft Qbs at 2 and 3, so Darnold might get interest from a few teams to be a Steve DeBerg.
The 49ers did announce they signed Brandon Allen. Woo hoo. With all those picks, we’ll likely take another flier on a QB late in the draft if Darnold gets a shot to start somewhere.
And I’m waiting with baited breath to see if the Cowboys throw a dump truck full of money at Dak Prescott (ihopeihopeihope). Dak isn’t the sole reason for the Cowboys playoff failures, but he’s a pretty big part of it. Granted, the biggest issue in Dallas is the culture of instant gratification and headline-grabbing that starts from the rotted head down to the players. Micah Parsons spent the whole season complaining about being held, being the best defender in the NFL, about the Cowboys being the best defense in the NFL, about Dak not getting respect, and too many other things to list. And this is after playing the 49ers and getting 0.5 tackles while giving up 42 points. He disappears in the big games, and makes hay against the cannon-fodder that is the Giants and Redskins. Even the Eagles.
If Dallas somehow moves on from Dak, I wonder how long it takes for Trey Lance to pop back up on the scene.
Rumors that the healthy 34 year old Lavonte David may get to be the temp replacement for Dre Greenlaw this season.
Would.like jon Feliciano come back. If an early run on OT in the draft may need to bundle #63 with #31 to get one of the top 6. Jon the starting RG then.
Basically we are getting outbid this week.
https://www.ninersnation.com/2024/3/10/24096934/49ers-jonathan-greenard-tony-pollard-tee-higgins-nfl-free-agency
Good summary. OL deals we can’t touch that. Lloyd Cushenberry OC.signing with Titans.
Hope we eventually get Feliciano back to enable us to get a decent OT on April 25.
This is a fun time of year so sit back and see who’s desperate or smart. I think we are somewhere in the middle. We probably won’t know shit until we either sign or let go some of our FA’s. To believe anything Shanny or Lynch says is foolish since everyone is blowing smoke up someones ass
Just signed Leonard Floyd of the Bills to a 2 year $20 mill deal. Looks like we ain’t sitting on our laurels.
10.5 sacks last year. Averaged 10 his last 4 years. Love it.
Nice.
Need clellin Ferrell for the running downs.
Leonard Floyd, 9 sacks per season over last 4. Was he the cheapest of the bunch.
Lanky and only 240 lbs. Is chase young already too expensive.
Maybe drake Jackson can handle the running downs.
Let’s get.Feliciano and Lavonte David first.
Falcons going all in. 4 years, $180 mill for Kirk Cousins!!! Minnesota is suddenly in the mix. Nix, Penix, or JJ McCarthy should all be there in the 11th spot.
Raiders get Gardner Minshew 2 for $24 mill. They could be in the mix for those guys.
My 70s diet of hard rock had a heavy dose of Uncle Ted. Definitely preferred the Derek St. Holmes version of the band.
Jauan Jennings tendered a one-year $5 mill deal. So, if he’s offered another deal, the team can choose to match it or let him go.
I don’t see a big pay hike for his as a 3 WR, but I hope he stays.
The Niners are also asking Juice to restructure his deal.
2nd rd tender. If they want him great. We get a 2nd rd pick I assume for this draft.
Just read Juice declined the payout, being released.
Hate to see that one he’s a leader in the clubhouse but then so is Armsted.
Love Juice and all the great dirty work he’s provided over the years and his knowledge in the system but I think it’s time at 33 to move on.Would the 49ers decide to go back to 2RB’s and add just released Aaron Jones(29) who could really help taking off the load of CMC and is also a fantastic catching back as well, it could make an exciting situation imo..
F/A frenzy everywhere Kirk Cousins is a Damm genius throughout his career banking on himself in contacts and now fleecing 4/180 out of Falcons coming off an Achilles injury??
RB’s on the move,Barkley (Eagles)Swift (Bears) Pollard (Titans)Eckler (Commanders) and more waiting on King Henry as well…
Damm NY Giants traded and signed Brian Burns (25)to a huge contract out of the Niners price range but he sure would of been a great bookend for BOSA..Oh well let’s see if they still have something up their sleeves going forward..
yeah and Alzeez(sp) is going to the Texans.
DeMeco didn’t want to miss out on him.
Wow. Disappointed by Juice. Back in the day, Eddie D engendered loyalty amongst the guys. They did what they could to keep the team together.
Oh well. those days are long gone I suppose. Where’s he gonna go? 5 teams use FBs and already have them.
Reputable source? Possible fake tweet?
Forgot about Raiders RB Josh Jacobs taking over in Green Bay 4/48M
What is source of that story. I don’t see it except at the forum as a maiocco tweet. The postet.accisef of being a fake account
What is happening with acquisition of two marginal edge players today with two year contract s.
The San Francisco 49ers are stocking up on edge rushers. NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport reports that the team is signing impending Carolina Panthers free agent defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos to a two-year, $18 million deal.
Is Staley loopy . This is chase young money for either of these. Justify the caliber of Floyd. 6’6″ 240 lbs WTF.. Irresponsible
Cousins has done so little to earn so much.
Cousins 1-4 in the playoffs in 12 seasons
Purdy 4-1 in 1.5 seasons
Cousins is 16-47 against .500 or better teams.
76-67 overall.
Hmmm.Not seeing Juice refusing the pay cut. I guess time will tell.
Test
Having issues today from the cell phone – Looks good here on the laptop 😀
Trying it again
you good
Kinlaw to the Jets. Niner get Yetur-Gross-Matos.
Young is gonna sail somewhere.
Darnold to the Vikings. 1 year, $10 million.
We are gonna draft a QB.
Yep, or try and recycle one. I thought Shanny would go after Mac Jones since he was dirt cheap. Maybe he’ll roll the dice on Wilson.
We lost more than we gained and darnold and soon to find out on chase young that both contracts large enough that 3rd round comps are coming our way next year?
Not really sure how all that works.
I don’t think so. Kinlaw and Young were never high-motor guys. AA has been hurt too much.
Backup QB? If it comes to that, we are in trouble anyway.
Floyd probably had Aaron Dona)d being double teamed giving him single OT matchups all game. 32 is old at a high twitch position and he is tall and light. Why take the chance on him.
This likely dud pick is on Staley. Did he pull a Wilks Isaaih Oliver here?
Chase Young definitely getting a bigger contract somewhere else. Why jeopardize not getting awarded a 3rd rd comp with.a likely Floyd downhill career descent.
Read the no-name from Carolina had 4.5 sacks.
Gotta factor in the surrounding cast BT.
Carolina was a wasteland but for CMc and a few others.
YG-M should only improve was our DL culture.
Like to see my eternal pipe dream for the fat Man in the middle now.
Brick shit house with an anchor attached.
Sheldon Rankins?
Playing in our system with Demeco in TX.
Still available last I checked.
Another one bites the dust…
https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/clelin-ferrell-agrees-to-one-year-deal-with-commanders
He only had 31/2 sacks last year so maybe with the other edge signings he figured it was time to kick rocks.
YGM from 2023 the exact equivalent in size, sacks to Clelin
So Floyd is the 2023 version of chase young. How did shanalynch do?
Baldy thinks it’s an improvement.
https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/179249-baldy-new-49ers-leonard-upgrade/
They extended George Odum 2 years $10 mil, that’s an eye-popping number for special teams.
At least we got Odem for another couple years.
RB Derrick Henry signs 2 years 16 M contract with incentives to reach 20 M with the Ravens.
Ravens led the league in rushing last year with a variety of RB’s now they add a bell cow like Henry, the AFC North other teams are surely not happy.
Hmmm. Not happy to see Ferrell go. The run defense suffered badly when he went down.
Not sad to see Young go elsewhere. Young sucked at setting the edge in Ferrell’s absence. Kinlaw was getting pushed around by WRs at times.
I’m a little surprised special teams coach Brian Schneider survived. If there’s a unit that absolutely sucked this season, it is special teams. Fumbles, missed blocks, penalties, and way too many long KO and punt returns.
This has been a noisy tampering period. Why is chase Youngs agent quiet, no leaks at all. Either no interest or niners another one year prove it deal tomorrow.
Was Floyd in a 3-4 in chicago. If not am totally amazed his body type could last against big OL on running downs.
Texans lost their top sack guy Grenard and have lots of cap. Could he be staying with niners.
Tom, Floyd is worlds better at setting the edge in run defense. Young was worthless at doing that once Ferrell went down.
Not sure how you equate a guy with 40 sacks the last 4 years with a guy who got 9.
The Niners are DONE with Young. Unless his price goes to the floor. We have moved on.
I’ve seen reports that CYoung is on the FA tour.
Titans, Panthers, Saints said to be on the schedule.
He’s carrying a death card regarding motivation.
Taking plays off doesn’t get you paid.
FAT MAN !! 😜

https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2023/1/26/23562625/stay-or-go-dt-jordan-elliott
There you go!
6’4″ 302 lb. Like it!
D gonna look different. And whole lot more aggressive.
Danielle Hunter signs 49 million deal with
Texans. They have the edge pair in nfl now.
You all are more in-tune to the NFL than I am, but I’m not clear on why Jacksonville would sign Mac Jones. Don’t they have Trevor Lawrence? Or does he have an worrisome injury?
Mac would be the backup QB. QB1 is Lawrence and QB2 is Mac Jones .
Lawrence has played while injured many times but has not missed games so far
Picked up a steal since LAC had to meet cap of 0 today. LB Eric Kendricks able to replace Greenlaw. He was a starter and did tackles etc. We are covered.
Another good signing, if only short term.
Good to see the team doing what they can to improve.
We got the wrong Kendricks but…
At least we can…
nice.
Just cause the 49ers will always have a hard on for Defensive Lineman they have just added another one DT Malik Collins from the Texans for a 7th rd pick.
Malik is a younger AA at 1/2 the price. Great pick up. He is healthy. Bye AA.
Good news Juice is staying.
