This guy can play tackle, if we can structure money for him

Multiple teams are preparing to approach the San Francisco 49ers about their interest in trading for holdout guard Alex Boone, according to a league source.

Boone has held out since early in the offseason. The two sides are not close to a contract extension and Boone is believed to be prepared to stay away from the team until he gets a new deal. He has two seasons remaining on his contract that will pay him about a total of $4 million.

Boone signed a five-year deal in 2011 when he was a backup and the contract was essentially for backup money. He has developed into one of the better guards in the NFL.

Among the teams that could use a guard are the Buccaneers and Giants. Boone can also play tackle.

Trading Boone, a key part of the 49ers' offense, will likely be a last resort for the 49ers.

Just pisses me off that because of these contracts left hanging over this teams head that they are always left sucking hind teet.....two steps forward and three steps back. We can never get the puzzle piece we need.

Geesh, the Buc's were mentioned before the Panthers as a team that can use a guard.

Jut goes to show you, how the national media really has no clue about the Panthers.

Either way, if the Panthers can get him to fit into their salary cap goals, why not.

The Panthers need depth at guard, not a starter. We have two pretty good guards. Tackle may be a different story.

depend on how much more he wants to make.  He's due 2 mill this year, 1.2 mill next.  We have 5 mill in

cap room right now.  we could give him 3 mill this year, 2 mill next.  Don't know if that's enough for him though.

 

And I would only do this for him playing tackle, not guard.

 

 

The real question is how much would we be willing to give up if we wanted him.  I can't anything about

his ability to be tackle, but he would have to be an upgrade at tackle at anything we have on the roster.

They're right.

We have Amini Silatolu and Trai Turner.

Guard isn't our big area of concern. Tackle is.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
