Howard is a horrendous move all over. If we’re going to bring in a third TE, or just go with Knox and Morris, then just about ok though the cap hit isn’t good. If we keep Sweeney ahead of him considering his weaknesses and cap hit difference, it’s bizarre.

The likes of Skurski, Fairburn and Maiorana need to watch GMFB and see the class and dignity they treated the subject matter with compared to the shock jock approach they’ve taken. The difference between true journalism and sensationalism.

Bit disappointed with this; I’m sure he’ll be snapped up by someone as he had a very good pre-season.

Thanks. Apologies, bad phrasing, civil charges bought but then settled prior to court?

Have to admit, American law baffles me. Pretty sure in the U.K. neither side would be able to do battle for hearts and minds in the media this way as it would be seen as prejudicing any further trial. It’d be kept private until the court case began.

Born in Buffalo and his dad turned out for the Panthers as well as the Bills. It’s a sign. 😁

ALLEGEDLY. I’ve been running around telling everyone who’s been sentencing Araiza that this is alleged but the fact is the defence is alleged evidence at this stage too. It proves nothing for now, just as the lawsuit proves nothing either.

Slightly concerning for the process of law that a family of an alleged perpetrator can release a far more dignified, respectful and fair statement than a defence attorney.

This is the issue - do you accept growing pains or switch at the first time of trouble? Most sides elect the former; Josh, for example, had the fearsome competition of Peterman and Barkley, rather than someone who has Super Bowl appearances against his name, which meant he was allowed to sort through his issues and gremlins without a threat hanging over him.

Depends on the evidence. I think he could come back from it as long as he isn’t found guilty of statutory rape - or, of course, worse.

Sal must have got so excited writing that article - he couldn’t stop at one, he had to do another.

I’m expecting Blackshear to go. I’m really hoping we can hold on to Johnson.

Fans may be upset by Garoppolo is not overly popular with 49ers fans so, unless Lance is primarily to blame for them going 0-5 I don’t think there will be much call to switch the QB. Now, in the media who, as we’ve seen, like to put as much pressure on the team as possible, it could be very different.

In fairness, doesn't the no trade clause mean that Garoppolo has to agree to a trade, rather than there won't be a trade at all?

Or the worst...

Which WR would be cut/traded to fit him in?

Browns had already ruled themselves out as they're going to apparently stick with Brissett until Watson has served his suspension. As per Rapoport, sounds like Garoppolo was not that interested in going to the Seahawks. Could be a good way to start a coaching career; help Lance through his first season as starter.

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1564363001167319042 Sorry, not sure if I embedded properly. From Adam Schefter: Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers agreed to a restructured one-year contract that will keep the QB in San Francisco this season, per sources. The contract contains no-trade and no-tag clauses, assuring Garoppolo will remain in SF this season and have the freedom to leave in 2023.

Social media has a lot to answer for but, let's be honest, his ridiculuous stance and not letting due process take place has no doubt resulted in the death threats against Araiza and his family. Not that should take responsibility away from those who have abused Araiza and his family or Gilleon.

Zac K Moss is available for trade? That’s awful news!

And decent young punter will be on a team already. I guess it’ll be a veteran to a one year deal and we’ll extend if they do a reasonable job, unless a punter we like falls to us on the draft.

Sorry to be pedantic, but wasn’t Watson charged with multiple accounts of sexual assault rather than rape?

Not saying I believe it for a minute, but could result in Duke Johnson making the roster.

I assume Barkley’s performances may have pushed them into a panic move?

Part of the reason why I think the accused’s name should not be released but, as it’s currently a civil claim, not sure what could have been done to prevent it.
