Free Agency Free For All

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.

    Danielle Hunter signs 49 million deal with
    Texans. They have the edge pair in nfl now.

  3. 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?

  4. bakkentom's avatar bakkentom says:

    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.

  6. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    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…

    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.

  9. bakkentom's avatar bakkentom says:

    Malik is a younger AA at 1/2 the price. Great pick up. He is healthy. Bye AA.
