Dalton is an exceptional backup. Seems ideal for the 49ers. Perhaps he gets scooped by the Bears and then the 49ers really want Bridgewater. That would be pretty sweet.

I'm not convinced the 49er interest in Bridgewater was legit.

Seems a bit like news put out to create a market.  "If the 49ers are interested maybe we should be also"

Don't get me wrong, would love to be true and could be possible, but this time of year you can't believe everything you read.

Flipside, i.e. the 49ers get Dalton and the Bears take an interest in Bridgewater, could also be true.

Hate to say it but looks like teams are dwindling done for us. Will we keep Bridgewater or cut him. Wow I hate we have this problem to deal with.

Seems to me the Patriots are trying mimic Cam's best results here by getting him a deep threat and two TE's.

We only had Olsen and Shockey for one year but we threw all over the field that season. They are at least doing right by Cam's skillset.

True, but they have also had success with 2 TE sets, Hernadez and Gronk, but I do agree it does seem to favor Cam and good for him.

I hope they put him in a position to succeed.

Yeah, we will only ever know if it actually happens. I would be shocked if anyone would want him at that salary. It's extremely high for a backup QB and I am not seeing many teams desperate enough to want him as a starter at the moment.

There is always injuries during camp. Perhaps we get lucky in the draft, get a guy, he is "ahead of schedule" to be the starter and we can move Teddy to another team.

Quite a few long shots need to align for that, but we can always hope.

There was talk that Matt Rhule really liked him as a blocking tight end.

Moot point now, of course.

Yep more holes. Could our record be worse this year than last, I was hoping we would be this bad in Rhule’s first year, it’s like we decided to rebuild his second year. Thanks Hurney for the Bridgewater experience!

I actually think it could, and have for a while, but I'm in the minority on that front.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
