Training Camp is On the Horizon

Not much in football-land happening, short of the log-jam at signing 2nd round guys due to the Houstons throwing a wrench into the draft guaranteed money for 2nd round picks they decided to do.

That being said, training camp is less than a month away. Which means the Hall of Fame game is coming up next month.

Woo hoo!

Here’s the schedule:

  • Rookies report: July 15
  • Veterans report: July 22

Light the fires and kick the tires.

Other than that, it’s all dullsville for the NFL right now. Unless the Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh saga thrills you. He says “this’ll probably be my last season” and this glorious tidbit “when I’m done playing, you won’t see me”. We can only fucking hope.

Pittsburgh is awful desperate to be throwing money at Rodgers, as both Juston Fields and Russell Wilson had their moments amid a season that went south for in a hurry. Mike Tomlin may not have had a losing season in 19 years, but they have not won a playoff game since the 2016 season. 8-11 in the playoffs total.

Good luck with that!!

    Yeah, more NFL dead space, Maybe Kittle will show us more of his dog pictures. And that is way better than listening to clickbait assholes wasting our time with bullshit.

    heh heh! Yup. At least we aren’t in the cross-hairs of the media bullshit generator this year.

    Not sure what is up with Albert Collins, but only 2 of the 32 2nd round picks drafted are signed. They are pick 34, Texans WR Jayden Higgins and pick 33 Carson Schwesinger, LB for the Browns. He got a fully guaranteed deal as well.

    The next 31 guys are unsigned. The owners of course are in a tizzy around (GASP!) money. Last year, 2nd round guys would get in the neighborhood of $2 – $4 mill guaranteed, tops.

    This is part and parcel of the institutional collusion of the draft slotting money the owners installed to save themselves from themselves.

    Now of course, one guy throws a wrench into the process so the rest of the owners have to act like this is going to be the downfall of the NFL.

    These billionaire owners swooning and whining over shit like this is really funny. It’s not like the total salaries are changing that much. Just the guaranteed money.

    Come on. let’s all shed some tears for the poor little billioniares who have to pry out more coin for the players who lay it on the line every season.

        Triple the quarters for a field dump plus extra quarters for the toilet tissue dispenser are you can save on that if you just Butt Slide Off!

    The collusion is just an illusion kids. Yeh. Right.

    Sounds like Lenoir enjoys playing hide and seek with cars keys when a cop asks for them. 89 mil doesn’t buy brain cells.

    Was it his car? Seems a little shady.

    team building sessions did not work. He is not on a cheap rookie contract anymore. Can his full contract be voided for a misdemeanor?

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Not sure what the crime is here, Tom.

      • bakkentom's avatar bakkentom says:

        According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers had approached a group that included Lenoir and observed a gun inside a parked vehicle. When police asked for the keys, another man tossed them to Lenoir. Lenoir then threw the keys to a third man who tried to hide them, according to multiple reports

        More serious after cops saw a gun inside the vehicle. Probable cause for inspection of inside for drugs like fentanyl, meth,… for trafficking. For 49ers sake I hope Lenoir got those keys back to cop.

        What if Shanalynch decides to get Jalen Ramsey then? Team chemistry and character?

  13. bakkentom's avatar bakkentom says:

    another article says misdemeanor . Probably they let him go?

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    This sounds like a typical “we can’t fugure out a charge, so let’s go with obstruction.” THis’ll ge tthrown out

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      Our whole offense is somewhat fragile and no more so than on our oline. Injuries have to stay down for us to be successful on all offensive positions. It’s hard to figure out what this year is gonna be imo.

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

      The article ignores that Williams recently said he wants to play past 40. But yeah, they ignore the line at their peril.

      Been going on a while.

      • Winder's avatar Winder says:

        I’m not expecting miracles this year. If the kids we got show the way 49er football should be played then I will be satisfied that next year we will back.

      • Winder's avatar Winder says:

        But I do think it’s gonna be a fun year.
