Success

He's probably the best option out there right now. And he's a very good WR, despite age & injury. I'd pump my fist if we got him.

Like we won't go 5-1 anyway. We need guys in the playoffs.

Well.....NOW.

Well, he wanted to stay on the west coast. Now what?

Personally, I always liked Dane. Great tackler. I'm sure we'll draft someone in the 1st couple of rounds too.

I'm feeling a classic late night Beane here.

They can get creative. Kupp is a great separation guy, and would be the best receiver on our roster.

I'd bet he does better w/ Dallas. I still think he has a ton of talent - he just didn't fit here.

It's not much of a "cap space" FA period at this point, though I suppose this could open up a trade or 2 for them.

I was coming on the board to start this thread. I really like the strategy - holes are basically filled, though not in spectacular fashion. But it gives him a lot of flexibility on draft weekend and he doesn't have to grapple w/ "need" nearly as much when considering players.

Sometimes, players are injury prone until they're not. There is such a thing as bad luck, too. It's a gamble, but if he can stay healthy and recapture even some of his old form, he can be a terror. I like it. It was pretty slim pickins out there anyway.

I don't feel cursed. After the drought, it's been amazing to watch great football and a generational QB. If we never win a SB - so be it. It's a game, and I've had a lot of fun watching it.

I think we're doing what we can. This is one of the leanest FA periods I can remember in terms of available talent. More top-tier players decided to re-sign w/ their own teams then test the waters too much (Godwin taking $20M less was an eye opener). We needed a receiver and we got one. I would have probably preferred Kupp, but opinions vary on how much he has left.

I think Kupp would be a really good fit here.

I think we should make an offer for Kupp, and sign Bosa. There. I said it.

I mean, most here were thrilled when we made the move - it was aggressive, and addressed our area of biggest need. If you were opposed to it, I'd have to say that was in the minority opinion at that time. And he was great that 1st season until he got hurt. More bad luck than bad decision.

Beane looks like a genius now.

Had he gone elsewhere - I have a feeling we'd be watching highlights of him and lamenting letting him go. His best days are ahead. He has real talent.

I don't like the Chiefs.

As long as we beat the Pats twice, I'm good.

The bolded is....bold.

Way too early to evaluate. His best game was the Super Bowl, and so much of that was after the game was decided. And I don't think any fan thinks we'd be using him the same way the Chiefs are.

Sports fandom is a weird thing. Your team can win forever, but it's never enough, and you're never happy.

I mean, we did make the final 4 in a year where some had us as a WC team, and some had us missing the playoffs altogether. If Josh wanted to leave this kind of situation, it would be a bit Diggsy.

Josh defies every expectation. He's a hardcore competitor. He's going to have longer than that.
