Welcome to the new “we are just trying to break even” 49ers. That famous utterance came from the mouth of Greggie Johnson, resident coke-head and heir apparent to the billions in the Franklin Templeton investment firm. You know, those poor little rich boys who watch other teams spend while they cry poverty and small market blues.
Now we have the 49ers doing the same thing. They have jettisoned all the free agents they have recently signed and are jettisoning guys whose deals are coming up, and now want to play hardball with Brock Purdy. Yay! Go Niners! Straight to hell!
Still and all, the only one that really pisses me off is Greenlaw. Even with our pussy defense that we played last season, the short time Greenlaw was on the field, the defense was great. Natch, throw him to the wind.
Cutting Juice pisses me off as well, mainly because he’s the ultimate team guy, and we are showing our true colors by shafting everyone. else. Up to and including Brok Purdy. Mr. Irrelevant is gonna become Mr. Silver and Black. There are plenty of teams that would willingly take a shot and throw $55 mill Purdy’s way.
This team was it stands is CMC, Kittle, Warner, Williams, Bosa, and Lenoir. The rest is gonna be untested rookies and taxi squad fodder. But hey, we signed a special teams guy today! Yeah, we need it. But we also need O line and D line talent. And hey, we may need a quarterback! One injury and we are fucked. 0 injuries and we may be fucked if we piss away yet another draft.
I guess Jed figured out he wants to pinch his pennies again and revisit the Colin Kaepernick days. Those grand old days where Jed got Colin to sign a team-friendly deal as he promised to keep the team together, only to see Michael Crabtree, Vernon Davis, Frank Gore, and many other get their walking papers and the team cratered badly.
Yippee.
Forty Niners Forever 
Reasons to be cheerful 😁
NFL salary cap carryover numbersEvery team has to deal with the same $279.2 million salary cap in free agency, but not all caps are created equally. Teams are able to carryover money from 2024, which is essentially added to their cap space to create and adjusted cap number. The NFLPA revealed each team’s adjusted cap space today, and right now, the 49ers have the most room: 1. 49ers: $341.4 million2. Browns; $325.9 million3. Patriots: $322.6 million4. Raiders: $314.9 million5. Cowboys: $307.0 million
And yet they sit on their thumbs and let all the talent go.
This is akin to Kaepernick signing a team-friendly deal while Jed said he’d keep the team together. Gore, Crabtree, Vernon Davis, among lots of others, all left and Baalke shit the bed on 4 straight drafts.
And here we are once again looking to stiff our QB while the front office sheds talent.
What a crucial draft this will be. 11 picks and for the first time in a long time they are not trying to find players for a few available starting spots, this time around they need starters at just about every position. Not much room for error.
I’m really looking forward to this draft.
I’m really worried about this draft. Who said they were looking at TE for their 1st pick?
The media.
The Mac Jones era is here! If you can’t draft him, wait until he busts and get him without using a pick!
Hah!!! Thought the same thing.
Holy Shit… The 49ers sign QB Mac Jones to backup Brock Purdy ..2 years 23M
Mull that one over Chuck.. Mac Fuckin Jones wow 😮 still better then Rodgers/Wilson geriatric tour for me I guess..
One less draft pick not needed to use on a QB atleast..Keep pounding Defense/Offensive lines and throw in a LB/CB/TE!!
I’m not as worried as the rest of you here. We’ve had a lot of injured players. Many have been jettisoned. We were the oldest team in the league last year. We were going to suck anyway. We have to get younger.
I admit, I was bummed at losing Juice and Dre, maybe we get Juice back when he sees what his value is. If we solidify our D-line we will be OK. It might take 2 years to fix that. Now that we have Mac Jones, our Super Bowl window just opened back up! LOL!
We didn’t get #6 with them did we?
Fish or cut bait.
I’ve read some positive news regarding QB Tanner Mordecai that we grabbed as an UDFA. Shades of Steve Young in terms of speed and mobility.
Here’s the report on Mac

Could be a pressure tactic for Purdy, but it also provides a little leverage to paying him this year vs opening up a year of competition before writing that check.
Greenlaw is a great LB if healthy, 9ers couldn’t risk that kind of money gambling he returns to form but I wish him the best.
Juice is declining and despite the paycut last year he still wasn’t worth it.
The rest of the losses are to be expected except Collins who was worth his contract IMO.
Sure they could with all the other guys they tossed.
He’s worth the risk.
My bad it’s only 2years at 7M (5M guaranteed) I can live with that.Funny it goes full circle now the Lance/Jones draft date debate which every 49er fan wanted Shanny’s scalp if he took Jones …

I remember him dissing the Niners when he signed with the Dolphins, something about being with a talented team of winners now or something to that effect, screw him.
Yeah, he was bad mouthing us pretty good, he was butt-hurt we got rid of him.
Funny, Purdy has more playoff wins than the 5 QBs drafted in 2021 combined. I think Lawrence leads the pack at 1.
Brant Boyer, the new ST coordinator apparently not a fan of long snapper Taybor Pepper who has been released. That’s not a money saving release, a replacement will cost the same of more.
I wonder what his thoughts are on the kicking position? I’d at least like to see some completion there, Moody lived up to his name.
Competition*
Well the Niners are atleast getting comp picks again for next season being awarded three 4th Rd picks for losing Ward,Banks&Hufunga, that could be in some talented young players..

This strategy make way more sense than us getting rid of those players to finance soccer teams. The media is totally fucked up.
They could have kept Greenlaw. His departure signalled the white flag being raised this season.
New thread is up.
