Apparently the 49’ers are looking to move Tevin Coleman. Any interest.


Recommended Posts

Honestly I don’t really know enough about him to weigh in. If so the 49’ers are looking to upgrade their OL, especially the G position. If that’s accurate I’m sure the Bills have enough late rd picks and a surplus at the G position to be able to offer up a package for Coleman if they have any interest in him. Thoughts?

Coleman has had one or more knee injuries but played well when given the opportunity last season.  There are already better FA options available plus some really good talent in the draft.  Why give up draft picks when you don't have to?  I'd rather use the extra draft picks to move up for a better prospect in the draft.

I'd rather draft a backup back. Besides, the 49ers will probably cut Coleman anyway. Also Coleman is on the books for almost $5million this year I believe. San Fran probably isn't going to find any takers for that.

got to wonder how upside down the Niners are on their contracts...

49'ers GM John Lynch attracted many players with massive contracts ever since he got there.

 

It's gotten to a point where it's come back to haunt them.

 

They had to trade Brentson Buckner, because they have so much money tied up in other big contracts.

 

Look at how much Garoppolo is making. Dee Ford & Tevin Coleman were not cheap signings from last season.

 

They have to dump these players with big contracts because eventually they have to pay guys like George Kittle, Deebo Samuel & Nick Bosa.

No thanks due to pedestrian production at times.  Why not just draft a young guy with fresh legs.  I was listening toJordan Palmer Sunday on NFLR, and made some good points on Dillon out of Boston College.  He would be the perfect compliment to Singletary and a different type of Back.

I don't buy into the train of thought that the Bills need a hammer back to pair with Singletary. He was so, so good at navigating through piles last season and popping out the backside of a mess of players for an extra yard or three. 

 

His weakness is long speed. He's never going to break a 50+ yard TD unless the entire D trips over each other or something. I would rather see them pair him up with a guy like that instead of a between the tackles plugger.

 

If they don't want to go with a rookie, Fournette and Coleman both work. They aren't world beaters but they're UFA after the season which means you're trading a late round pick for a year of their service and then you can LIKELY recoup that pick via a compensatory selection when they sign elsewhere

not bad. I would call and see what it would take. It would be about a 3M cap hit on the final year of his deal. 
 

however he also is similar skill set to Singletary so if you are looking more for that bruiser power back this isn’t him. 
 

also he does get hurt a lot it seems. But for 3M cap hit send one of our Glut of OGs that we have. 
 

like a Spencer Long for a Tevin Coleman

I mean... Breida, Mostert, Mckinnon, Coleman, Juszyck.  Thats a lot of backs.  None of them are on rookie deals either.

With Fournette on the block at a 4 million dollar hit - you have to wonder what the market looks like for both players.

Loved Coleman coming out of Indiana but not someone I'd like the Bills to pursue at this point in his career.   Misses too much time, and isn't dynamic enough to warrant trading a pick anymore.  

 

If the Bills were to look into trading for a player I would want them to be head and shoulders better than Yeldon, and while I think Coleman is better than Yeldon I dont think its enough of a gap to warrant trading a pick.

SI absolutely bashes him. https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/49ers-should-cut-tevin-coleman 

I admit I haven't seen enough niners football to have a strong opinion. Consensus would seem to be that he's not good enough to warrant his starting status on that team. If stats are to be believed, he would seem to be a pretty good receiving RB. But, from what I'm reading, he doesn't seem like he'd be a great fit for the Bills.

 

Be that as it may, it sounds like it's unlikely they'll find a trade partner for him, and that the 49ers are going to end up cutting him anyway. If we were really interested, we'd probably get a better deal bidding on him after he's cut. But, I doubt Beane is interested.

Stop ? going ? after ? expensive ? veteran ? running backs ? with ? miles ? on ? them ?!

 

just draft a young cheap guy or wait until cuts to sign a guy on the cheap.  This instance on Mike Tolbert and Frank Gore is weird.

I am guessing this response is also applicable to any player coming up on the trade rumors

 

 

Haha, why would they say anything?  This is why I couldn’t be a reporter.  You asking a question knowing the answer before you ask it.

So you anticipate a trade before Thursday?

No thanks. you can consistently find good to great RBs in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the draft. Coleman is not durable and he has played in a favorable offense.

 

I want a more dynamic 1-2 punch.

 

Grab JK Dobbins in round 2. Complete the offense with a guy who has the potential to go to the house every time he touches the ball, he runs with the vision, patience, speed and aggression you want to see from your RB. 10-15 touches a game for him to make sure he stays fresh.

 

 Singletary will maintain the bulk of the load 15+ touches.

 

while watching his highlights his speed and vision are evident but I want you to focus on his ability to break arm tackles and shrug off tacklers with stiff arms.

You can't guarantee Dobbins... or anyone really at pick 54.  The top 3 or 5 backs could get drafted.

 

They're saying we're focused on the draft because they don't know if its a position of need til post draft.  Also - if you could get devonta freeman for less money and no trade... its going to be hard to get anything for coleman.

A radio caller in Buffalo: so I think we should trade Trent Murphy and a conditional 7th round pick for Bosa. Thoughts?

Freeman would be interesting if the price was right.  He’s might to be in a time share.  He’s not built to be a workhorse.

Need to give him a physical with the injury history.  He sucked last year too, but how much of that can be oline etc.  Either way, draft first.  If it doesn't fall the way they want, he could be considered a fall-back option.  Hell, he might even be considered as an upgrade for Yeldon too.
