For the 49ers I'd give up the number 2 pick for washington's number 17. But I'd prefer to wait a year and get him for nothing. Can't see Dallas trading Romo to Wasington in any case.

I'd like to see SF make a run at Taylor, if that is a no go then one of the journeymen QB's or even cutler and then look to cousins or the draft in 2018. No sense in giving up the farm for cousins, the 49ers don't need to overpay for a QB this year.

I'd agree the 49s are a lot note than a quarterback away from being competitive again, don't see much sense in giving away picks at this stage. Build the roster this year then hope to get cousins as a free agent next year

Realt Dearg Sec · 04-03-2017 3:27pm

Or draft a qb from next year's class which looks a lot more promising by all accounts than this one.

Kenny Britt expecting a 4/5 year deal @ 8mil per years it seems, thoughts?

As Joe duffy would say

good luck with that!!!!

D9Male · 06-03-2017 7:22pm

He probably had a look at Tavon Austin's contract and worked from there.

TOss Sweep · 06-03-2017 7:58pm

He was the Rams most productive WR last season so if other Rams WR are making more than him I csan see why he would want it.

Guffy · 06-03-2017 8:01pm

I dont think hes going back to la. Would like to see him in washington linking up with kirk if they let jackson walk

He'll probably get that somewhere. 1000 yards receiving when Keenum and Goff were throwing to you is good going. However if I was a GM I would be very wary of anyone who posts career highs in the last year of their contract, will they still be as motivated once they get paid

adrian522 · 06-03-2017 10:37pm

The 49ers are to release Torrey Smith. This will clear nearly $5m in cap space. If they make him a June 1st cut they'd clear $9m but probably no need for that given the $90+ in cap space for 2017.

The 49ers have been connected to Terrelle Pryor, Alshon Jeffery, and Kenny Britt in free agency, and have ten draft picks.

Foxtrol · 08-03-2017 2:27am

49ers release Bethea gaining $5.75 million towards the cap space. Nearly up to $100m now, catching up on the Browns for total cap space. Unfortunately that's no help when the season starts

BaronVon · 08-03-2017 3:52pm

Brandon Marshall going to the Giants for 2 yrs/$12m apparently. Decent signing for them.

Great bit of business, delighted with it. I'll take a guess and assume it is closer to a 1 year deal.

He is a perfect compliment with OBJ & Sheppard already there, on paper at least it is one of the best WR trio's in the league now.

I think it was known he wanted to stay in NY but gets a good deal.

Giants will have a very good WR corps next year

tvisdead · 08-03-2017 3:58pm

Colts just agreed terms with Jack Doyle.

IMO a very decent TE

Beckham, Sheppard and Marshall, better hope Eli cuts down his interception numbers

they've made a good receiving core even better. It'll be interesting to see what the guaranteed money will be. So happy he didnt sign with the Pats!!

He could be a big signing for us. In theory it will be hard to double him and Beckham

Sheppard had a very solid rookie year as well so it can only help him as well.

if this is true it makes the Marshall deal look even better! Cant believe Garcon is getting that sort of money in 2017

Will make him 2nd highest paid WR in 2017 as of now anyway. Good money for a 31 year old.

adrian522 · 08-03-2017 6:12pm

Well it depends on guarenteed vs incentives etc that most deals are made up of. I doubt he is getting $16m guarenteed at all. I'd hope not at least.

Knex* · 08-03-2017 6:28pm

Not really a massive issue if 49ers are front loading contracts though, I suppose.

Foxtrol · 08-03-2017 6:41pm

The 49ers are also going to be the Man Utd of this free agency as every agent is going to use their name/interest to leverage as much money as they can out of their suitors.

phatkev · 08-03-2017 7:55pm

Bills have restructured Tyrods contract, good bit of business. I was kind of hoping he'd find his way to the Jets

helimachoptor · 08-03-2017 7:58pm

Romo being released tomorrow per Schefter

helimachoptor · 08-03-2017 8:27pm

Titans have released NT Al Woods, some thoughts that a new NT is incoming

Potentially but it seems he wants 10 million, i dont think we need that help at that cost on our D-line tbh

Bryan Hoyer to 49ers

Brandon Williams maybe, but he's going to be looking big bucks as well

Another QB target the jets had expressed interest in gone, extremely slim pickings left at QB now. Will Geno get one more chance?

Could they go all in on a draftee?

I'm happy with this to be honest. At least we have 1 qb on the roster now.

Can't be easy to sign WR's when you have no qb.

I think they'd be mad to start any of the QBs coming out of this class, but you'd never know!

Is that the end of the Cousins rumours then or is Hoyer more of a backup?

helimachoptor · 08-03-2017 9:32pm

Elvis Dumervil has been released, Steve Smith called it about 2 hours ago on twitter

Doubt it's the end of cousins rumours. They'll need a backup in any case which is what Hoyer is.

I'd like to see them draft a rookie or 2 and let them all compete and see what they have come this time next year and if necessary spend a high draft pick in 2018 or go after one of the presumed free agents like cousins or garopolo.

adrian522 · 08-03-2017 9:50pm

49ers to sign WR's Goodwin apparently.

helimachoptor · 08-03-2017 10:32pm

pats trading for Dwayne Allen

Foxtrol · 08-03-2017 10:56pm

Even more leverage for the 49ers if they go to trade discussions

D9Male · 08-03-2017 11:53pm

7 teams now for Hoyer. What's the record?

Lionbacker · 08-03-2017 11:55pm

Lions signing OT Ricky Wagner, which means they're moving on from Reiff presumably.
Rumoured that he will make $9m per year. Not a bad deal I suppose.

brinty · 09-03-2017 12:52am

Barry church to the jags
4 years at $6m a season I've seen on the twitter

eagle eye · 09-03-2017 2:34am

It amazes me how much money players get in FA every year when anyone with a bit of a brain knows that teams that normally succeed are built through the draft. I just don't get why we get players getting huge contracts every single offseason when it's clearly not the right way to do things.

The 49ers should not be going after Kirk Cousins, they need to build a team and a QB isn't exactly necessary this year because there is no chance of them having a great season even if they get one. They need to improve in a lot of positions and they should take a chance in the second or third round on a QB and hope they hit pay dirt. They can suck it up for a year while they improve other areas in their team like WR. In order for a QB to work out you need players who can catch a ball.

There is every chance they could get Mike Williams in the first round and get Watson maybe in the third and you have a pair right there who know each other. Watson could turn out to be a great one too.

They could go out and sign a veteran WR for reasonable money and somebody to plug the gap at ILB while they develop a draft pick. There is no use rushing to try and get back to the top immediately because all that does is drive up your cap numbers moving forward and leave you having to be careful with your wage bill in a year's time.

Wonder if they're planning on getting Hankins.

Very happy with that.

Also signed Paul Worrilow at MLB you'd hope he's just depth.

Quinn certainly doesn't wait around.

helimachoptor · 09-03-2017 8:27am

Hightower is in Nashville but it could be family stuff. However has also followed a lot of Titans and some of the beat writers on twitter and instagram...

brinty · 09-03-2017 9:37am

Happy free agency day folks

Hope all your teams get the players they want.....

Looking forward to seeing how it all pans out

We bucked that trend last year to be fair. Vernon, Jenkins & Harrison were all big (huge) money signings and all 3 delivered in a big way. Took us from one of the worst to one of the best D's and took us to the playoffs.

By all accounts Hackenburg developed well last year, the Jet's didn't want to risk him in a bad situation.

I've read a lot of conflicting reports on Hack, some saying he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo, while others are saying he's developing nicely. Even if he has developed well, he's never even dressed for an NFL game, so imo you'd be mad to start him this season with what is going to be a pretty poor team. Also with Gailey retiring and the QB coach Kevin Patullo being fired was bad news for Hack, never great for a young needy QB to have a turnstile at OC/QB coach.
