CBS predicts the 49ers will sign center Tyler Linderbaum to a 4-year $72M deal. Zero percent chance that happens. It's almost comical how badly fans want to move on from Brendel. He'll be the center in 2026, and I trust Forester has a plan for life after Jake.
Following on from previous discussion, I take it you think Shanahan believer Brendel is better than Linderbaum (irrespective of price/ value)?

DeleteHe's scouted Linderbaum. He knows he's available. Let's see what happens.
I believe Shanahan LOVES Brendel and I'm sure he likes Linderbaum. I don't see him putting a ring on it.
It's an interesting conversation though. I agree Shanahan really likes Brendel, but I do think he'd be higher on Linderbaum, all things being equal. And I do think Brendel's age/ contract situation could make the 49ers interested in s guy of Linderbaum's calibre if he actually does hit FA.
DeleteYou think they resign Matt Hennessy? He'll be 29 this year.
DeleteOn a vet minimum perhaps. I think there could be some turnover at the bottom of the OL roster.
DeleteAgreed.
DeleteGeorgia State WR Ted Hurst just had the catch of the day. A nasty one-hander.

Sign Kyle Pitts instead of JJ. Pitts ran a 4.44 forty whereas JJ ran a 4.72 forty. Pitts is also 35 pound heavier. Big, fast receivers that won't be pushed around at the LOS and can inflict some punishment. George can help him improve his blocking.
ReplyDeleteOutside of Linderbaum, Pitts is the only other FA I'd consider going after and paying top of the market for. But from what I've heard it sounds likely the Falcons will tag him.

Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona, 6-4 200 lbs., could be a player Gus might have interest in the 4th round.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia CB Daylen Everette looks like another scheme fit in the 3rd/4th round.
