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.
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.
