@AdamSchefter: 49ers waived former Chiefs WR Jon Baldwin to claim WR L’Damian Washington off waivers.

He's never been able to figure it out in the NFL. The kid is still only 24 years old, turns 25 right away. Baldwin is 6'4", 230.

I can't imagine it would hurt to let Ricky give it a go with Baldwin.

I'd consider trading him out for Underwood but I like our younger receivers at the bottom of the depth chart.

But if anyone can get him straight it would be Prohel

I think we're too late in the offseason for coaching up a "already should be" WR. Unless he has insane blocking skills.... I'd rather Oline depth  or a solid PR.

Add Baldwin, Cut Pilares or McNutt.  Out of the "projects", I like King and Bersin.  Honestly, King, Bersin and McNutt are no better or worse than Baldwin, so I think the risk is low.  I would also stash Lucas on the PS and carry Brown as a ST return guy.

I agree.. To be honest I'd rather hold on to unproven talent in Philly Brown or Marcus Lucas then sign a bust like Baldwin. Wait till roster cuts and see what's out there

Jonathan Jones did project us picking up a free agent receiver to round out the depth chart. It would certainly be a low risk move.

I believe JJones meant that we would be picking up a roster cut casualty, not some no name dude that was cut to make room for another no name dude...

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
