No News is Slow News

Well, there is this. The 49ers are trying to address their black hole at back up tight end by offering restricted free agent Deetroit Lions TE Brock Wright a deal. Deetroit’s offer is 1 year at $3 mill. No word on what the 49ers offer is.

And in other news, AA feels ‘disrespected’ by the 49ers offer of 1 year, $8 mill (including) incentives and instead taking the 3 year / $43 mill deal. Despite the fact the 49ers paid him $85 mill over the past few years. Whatevs. This is sort of falls in line with Bill walsh and his famous philosophy of getting rid of players before they went bad. He will likely spend 5-6 games on IR and have a quiet season in jacksonville.

Other than that, it’s the draft in a month. Little to say other than get offensive line help in a big way.

Give Aiyuk his money and stop with the hedging.

Draft offensive line help.

    FA was fun but now it’s just about the draft. This is truly a dead time of year.

    Tried to post some music a couple of time but it didn’t work will try again.

      The Giants are a distraction for a while. Hopefully into October.

        The Giants fill a big gap for me I was just talking football. I still have a feeling the Giants will be good this year. Got a bunch of new guys and it might take some time to gel. Not worried yet.

    Stevie Winwood is up there in my pantheon of favorite musicians.

    This is pretty cool too. I just like who they get to talk about Mitch.

    Winwood is a terrific musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, there’s nothing he can’t do. Some great tunes over the years and he was with some great bands.

    Some specifics for Brock II Chuck…

    I felt it was important to get a better blocking TE to spell and compliment Kittle. Hope it goes through.

      if pickup goes through seems TE not in the draft.. we could be bundling and less picks needed. Hope 3 picks go to OL.

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yeah, we signed TE Wright. 3/$12 mill.

    My new favorite song …

    It’s an offer signing for TE Brock Wright for 3/12 M with 6M guaranteed.The Lions have 5 days to match I believe are better?They originally offered him 1 year 2.95M so it’s looking good he could end up a 49er!

    Yep! I’d never seen the Billy Idol version.

    bleacher report suggests trade of NE Jabril Peppers for a late rd pick. overthecap has current contract at 9 mil over 2 years

      Rasheed rice WR1 of KC soon to be removed off roster with the 6 car crash.

      our unknown is BA but if winning SB is high on his list this could keep his demands lower. 

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Oh, yeah. Forgot Deetroit can match. Don’t think they will.

    I had the ultimate experience of seeing Rory Gallagher at Winterland SF in 1976!

    He blew me away ,he was such a great guitarist ( easily up their with all the other greats!)and powerful vocals that carried true meaning in his songs! Million Miles Away,Tatooed Lady classics among many more!

    So sad when he passed at only 47 due to complications after Liver Transplant RIP Rory 🙏🎸

    Damn. Musta been great.

    So good live.

      I only got through a 1/3 of it but will pick up the rest later. Amazing stuff. I am still trying to get my head around that it was 42 years ago.

  14. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Just read that the Lions matched the Niners offer for the TE so we lose out.
