Weapons. Necessary options. How about protection? The Bears defense wrecked the niners OL opening day. Made them look like a college team. That’s right…..the bears defense. Trey looked terrible playing behind that line. Dude had no time and no clue. Their 2nd and 3rd best OL, Brunskill and McGlinchey are impending free agents. Of all the QBs in the league, Lance is the one guy that can’t afford a bad OL. The kid is like a deer in headlights and need protection.

They could trade him but I don’t see it. He’ll likely restructure and get paid 7-10M a year imo. A hefty sum for a RB. Even heftier when considering all the players they could’ve drafted instead of drafting RB in years past and these upcoming 4 picks- they wanted to have a chance to win a SB- I don’t think they had much of a chance prior to the trade. Now they have a much better chance- but they better win it all this year or next.

They’re going to restructure him. There is no doubt. And with that restructure, they’re going to pay a RB more than most teams prefer to pay RBs. meanwhile- 16M in cap room goes a long way when you have to replace - starters in bold and italics rotational players that get snaps. QB Jimmy Garoppolo EDGE Samson Ebukam CB Emmanuel Moseley RT Mike McGlinchey LB Azeez Al-Shaair K Robbie Gould OL Daniel Brunskill QB Nate Sudfeld DT Hassan Ridgeway EDGE Kemoko Turay DE Kerry Hyder Jr. DB Dontae Johnson TE Tyler Kroft EDGE Jordan Willis WR Malik Turner DL Maurice Hurst RB Jeff Wilson Jr. LS Taybor Pepper TE Ross Dwelley WR Marcus Johnson OL Jake Brendel TE Jordan Matthews CB Jason Verrett TE Troy Fumagalli CB Ka’dar Hollman DB Tarvarius Moore P Mitch Wishnowsky LB Dre Greenlaw DE Charles Omenihu OL Justin Skule S Jimmie Ward I suppose the only thing you’re having a problem with here is the use of the word massive. Replace it with “a substantial cap hit, especially when considering the position” Spending 7-10M a year on a RB just doesn’t make sense to me. Especially for a team that just used a handful of picks on RBs the last 2 years. My best friend is a die hard niner fan and he’s not happy about the trade- he agrees that it’s desperate. It makes them better this year for sure- but going forward, they will miss the picks and lose FA’s because of it. Improving the Rb position but getting worse in other positions.

Ok…. I’ll play again. In order to have 0 cap hit, they’d have to cut him. They just traded 4 draft picks for him. Do you think they plan of cutting him and not paying him anything (hence, literally zero cap hit). That’s not going to happen. They will restructure/extend him and pay him. They’ll pay him much more than most starting running backs will be paid. This after they drafted a Rb in rd 2 a couple months ago….and RBs in rd 3 and 6 last year. It’s an insane allocation of assets into the leagues most easily replaceable position. Meanwhile….their interior offensive line is trash. so….there will most definitely be a cap hit…, unless they decided to just give up 4 draft picks for a 2/3 of a year rental.

They’re going to do something. My guess is Robert Quinn or Cam Jordan

He’s the only guy that peaks my interest too. He was my draft crush and was heartbroken when the WFT snagged him earlier than expected. We settled for Moss, sigh. that said- his usage is quite confusing. As is Washington deciding to move on from him so quickly. Why? That’s the question I’d love to use him like the niners use Deebo- that’s a pretty good comparison….. as long as he can still run routes and at a professional level. He’s got some home run ability.

Lol- i just woke up, saw dudes post and gave my opinion on his post. I haven’t researched which OL might be available for trade. MY BAD. I didn’t know I had to propose a business plan in order to make a post in dudes thread. Posting on a message board IS like scribbling graffiti. You’re acting like this is serious business. Actually, you’re not. You see an opportunity to talk smack to your daddy and you jumped on it. And failed. Per usual. We don’t work for the Bills bruh. We’re on the couch. We can’t actually DO ANYTHING. you probably would’ve been ok trading a 2,3,4 and 5 for cmac.

You don’t have nothing. You have all of your draft picks- you know, the building blocks of a team- the assets needed sustain greatness when you’re paying a qb 43M+ and have several massive free agents coming up? Do you really think we need a better backup for Singletary in order to win the SB? I don’t. I’d rather have a furnace than nothing- seriously educated poster.

it’s his thread. I didn’t know I had to do homework in order to post in it.

Yeah, it’s going to be tough for the niners to win without Armstead, Hufanga, Ward, mosely, Verrett, ekubam and cast. Injuries have decimated the D, but Ryan’s has a nice system. Need the pass rush to force TO’s

Well….they “rested” them because they were injured. If they were healthy, they would’ve played. I agree, Bosa has been the best defensive player in the league this year. He might even be better than Donald overall.

@Airseven your emoji stands out. Why would you vomit @ this post?

Oh yeah. They’ll be pretty banged up til after their bye. It’s looking like looking like Hufanga (who’s been amazing this year), Armstead and Ward are all out. but getting Bosa back could be the difference between a W and a L. Add Trent and you never know.

We won’t be losing in 50 mph to wind now. We already made the proper additions….on defense. No one will score on us in that kind of weather Same. He’s sufficient. If we want to bolster the run game, improve the OL

Did you happen to notice the laundry list of players the niners were missing vs Atlanta? They started a practice squad along the DL, OL and secondary. Dude is clueless. the division isn’t really up for grabs anymore imo. Rams have the worst OL in the league. Seattle has Geno. AZ has a college coach. I’d be shocked if the niners don’t win the division…..unless cmac gets broken. Again

Yeah, it only makes sense for an already good team to trade for him. Of course you’d like to have two additional great players on your team. Who wouldn’t? I’d rather have our team and win the super bowl without having to give up additional picks- FOUR draft picks. would you have sign off on trading a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th for him?

Yeah….they can restructure it to 7-8M a year- which is still a big Rb contract imo. And who’s to say he won’t want more than 7-8M a year? Miami gabe chase edmunds 7.5. They were paying their starting Rb 800k. Now they have to pay a lot more….. for a Rb that gets injured every year. It’s a huge roll of the dice especially behind their OL.

Meanwhile, they invested in Lance- those picks could be used on much need OL, and. more wr’s, RBs and defense that will be building blocks of the Trey Lance era. Now they just added a big Rb contract while having to pay Bosa this offseason. They aren’t paying a QB big bucks but they aren’t in a great spot cap wise. Unless they view mccaffery as Lances’ Diggs, this move seems desperate and in serious win now mode. They mortgaged part of their future for another injury prone rb Yes, we have quite a bit invested—— and it’s less than half of what the Niners have invested.

They shouldn’t worry about the rams. Their season is over

Yeah, after cmc gets broken

And they’ll also get two more when Demeco Ryans gets a HC job in a year or 2

They could be if they had a great OL- but their IOL BLOWS.

And we thought Beane spent a lot of draft capital on RBs. LYnch is awful. this wreaks of desperation- if I’m Bosa, I’m hitting the market is getting 40M a year gtd for 5 years. That team is meh without Bosa

That guy has peanut brittle bones
