  2. Waiver wire tracker: Which position will the 49ers be keeping a close eye on?

    An OG and another WR? Maybe an OT?

  3. Three biggest positions of concern post preseason:
    # 1: Jake Moody
    # 2: WR depth
    # 3 O-line depth

  4. JJ's Escalators:
    -50% of snaps: $1.5m
    -60 catches: $667k
    -600 yards: $667k
    -6 TD: $667k

    1. This needs to happen...
      Kyle Shanahan expects Jauan Jennings for opener.

    2. Thats what he'll have a difficult time earning if he's IR'd for 4 games.

  5. I hope the Niners continue to stay young. Moss and Valdez need to make this team otherwise they will be plucked off the waiver wire.

  6. Cutting young ascending players like Moss and Valdez would be a minor surprise for me. Al Collins will be a very good player once he reaches his stride. But I don't see that happening right away. Moss has shown well enough to stay on this team.
    We'll see how it shakes out tomorrow.

  7. I hope we go with 2 TEs (Kittle+Farell) and 2 QBs in the initial 53 roster. Should not be much demand for Willis or Tongues. Even if there is, Dwelley is unrostered so far. So we should be fine.

    Use those extra spots to retain Valdez and Moss (Colby makes initial 53).

    Assuming also that Zakelj makes the roster because of his ability to backup center and Hennessey is released and brought back as the Vet.

    IR with return on Givens and Cowing or JJ. This way one of them doesn't count on initial 53 and we go with just 4 receivers - Pearsall/Watkins/Moore/JJ or Cowing

    Gage/Hodgins/Chosen can be brought back as the Vets.

    1. They went with 2 TE's on last years initial 53.

      I'm not buying Valdez and Moss making the initial 53.

      I am buying Zakelj makes the initial 53.

      Givens and Cowing to IR. JJ will play week 1 because missing 4 games makes it harder for him to get his $3.5M in escalators.

      Pearsall, JJ, Watkins, Moore is who I'd go with on the initial 53 but I bet Gage is on it too.

  8. Lombardi feels the same way regarding Zakelj because of his versatility. While Moss has looked good in preseason, Z can move over to center in a pinch.
    Hopefully, Valdez can get stashed away on the PS, but I doubt that he passes waivers.

    1. Yeah Valdez getting waived is risky. At times he has looked even better than Collins.

      Dude plays with violence and will definitely play for a team this season....have to wait to see if it is the 49ers.

    2. Perhaps a good sign for Valdez. Lombardi reports that Valdez was working with the number 1's today. It could be that Shanahan wants to get one last look at him before making a decision tomorrow.

  9. Great news: Mykel Williams, CJ West, Richie Grant, and Ben Bartch have returned to practice.

    Bad news: JJ and Stout have not.

  10. Coming off a 1,000-yard season, Jakobi Meyers is due $10.76 million in the last year of his contract. With no extension coming in Las Vegas, he'd prefer to play elsewhere.

  11. The Bengals released Taven Bryan, iDL fishished preseason with a 26.9% pass rush win rate.

  12. 9ERS GET SOME GOOD NEWS:
    * Rookies Mykel Williams and CJ West returned to the practice field after missing time with hyperextended knees they sustained during joint practices this summer.
    * Dominick Puni appears to be much further along in his bid to be physically ready for the 49ers’ Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
    Puni went through physical therapy and conditioning while his teammates had an hour-long practice. He was seen running and looking much better just 9 days after sustaining a knee injury in the 49ers’ preseason game against the Raiders. He appears to be tracking toward getting back in the lineup for the start of the regular season.
    * Presumptive starting left guard Ben Bartch returned to practice after missing two preseason games with a right elbow injury. He wore a brace on his right arm.

  14. Lions have waived WR Jackson Meeks.

  15. Sometimes the 49ers handle contract negotiations worse than any team outside of the Bengals. Either give Jennings what he wants or trade him. My vote (for what it worth) is sign him but maybe the Raiders might swap Jakobi Meyers for Jennings

    1. Really? Thats pretty harsh given all the money they've paid out. JJ isn't an angel. He replaced Bourne the same way Pearsall was drafted to replace him. He knows how this works. The 49ers were never gonna extend him even with all the injuries in the room. My best advise to the young man is to ball out and then sign with a team for $15M Apy next year.

  16. If you guys wanna player to scout this weekend, I like Miami's DL Rueben Bain Jr. going up against Notre Dames OL. He was hurt last year but if healthy, he can be a menace.
