Deebo For Nothing . . .

. . . and the chicks are free. Pretty unreal the Niners bent over backwards a couple times for Deebo, including acquiescing to his demands to get the ball more, and he promptly dropped a game-winning pass. So, to show him, they trade him to a young exciting team and we get a 5th round pick.

And take a $31.5 million cap hit. Oh well.

    Id be all over Eagles F/A DT Milton Williams who’s coming into his prime at 26!! He will have plenty of suitors and probably gets 20M per but he’s a beast run stopper in the middle.Pair him with Graham and that front is a stone wall..And you add Center Drew Dalman then draft Membou and your OL is looking stout again, it’s not rocket scientist 👨‍🔬 to improve immediately..

    I’m worried the 49ers are not even going to go after any F/A the way they’re acting with players getting cut/ restructuring contracts,possible selling 10% of the team to outside investors WTF?? This storied franchise getting cheap now, lowballing Purdy won’t help with no backup plan either..

      Curious what happens with the dead money piece on Hargrave now too. Went from post June 1st to immediately released?

      Not sure what to make of these hasty decisions lately relative to cost cutting with Cap implications involved. Now BA rumors floating around again too?

      Smacks of desparation to me.

    Looks like they didn’t agree to include him in the Deebo deal since he was headed for the door?

    Found this but…

    Now they want to bring him back? Cap gymnastics? Restructuring a restructure?

    Cohn wrote this:

    Last year, the front office wanted to trade Aiyuk. However, Shanahan insisted on keeping him and actually sprinted into John Lynch’s office to stop an Aiyuk trade that was in progress. Big mistake.

    In addition, Shanahan also seemed to encourage the 49ers to extend both Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams — two older players who missed lots of games due to injury last season.

    Those recommendations cost the 49ers millions and they did not see a return on their investment in 2024. The team won a mere six games and missed the playoffs for crying out loud.

    Wonder what he thinks on Brendel PFF pass ratings near the bottom of centers last year

      I am not justifying any of KS’s decisions but I can understand em. The prior year Aiyuk had a fantastic season and was paid accordingly, and he wasn’t injury prone. I didn’t consider him mailing it in but that’s what a lot of players do when they hit the big money. I am all for dumping him as soon as possible. As far as McCaffrey and Williams they have some miles but they are still in the top 3 of their positions. Hopefully they can stay healthy because we are gonna need em the whole year. I wish KS would back off of the draft this year and let the people who get paid to do this do their jobs.

        and only 34 million in cap space. Will that be increased at start of new football year?

      • Winder's avatar Winder says:

        Don’t know how they are gonna handle any of that but I am sure it will limit us to some degree.

      Just curious if Lynch timed Shanahan’s 40’s time sprinting to his office?

    This sorta seems to answer your sentiments and mine Winder. Shanny struck me as desparate to get the monkey off his back perhaps? Stick with his pieces at the expense of roster depth? BA, CMc, Trent and Deebo, all fell short in hindsight.

    Now they’ve lost leverage, gotten older, and face Purdy payment.

      We cannot keep LG Banks and now LT Jalen Moore due to 34 million salary cap. We have to keep all our picks to get more on rookie contracts.

      Maybe Bartch takes Jalen’s place and take future LT at #11 and LG in the 3rd round? We are stuck with Zakelj at C. Rest of picks for Saleh?

      The absolute pisser and a half to the CMC deal is fucking Shanahan rode him into the ground.

      EVERYONE KNOWS CMC isn’t a guy like Saquon Barkley. CMC came to the 49ers with injury concerns but Shanny gave him the most touches of all players in 2023.

      Brilliant.
