See if Trey is there at 8. If not, take Sewell or Slater and see if there's a qb in the 2nd worth looking at. Then worry about getting somebody. If SF wants Teddy, see what they have to offer.

SF wants a pick from the Panthers to take TB.

They still have to offer something in a trade. Teddy and a 7th for a 4th still clears his salary.

Of course. But we aren’t getting a 5th from anyone. 
 

EDIT——Sorry wasn’t you that said that. 
My bad.

If the 49ers sign Flacco, I'd say any chance of trading Bridgewater to them is dead.

Pretty much.  I think Teddy's deal screwed the Panthers from ever being able to trade him even as a backup to anyone without the Panthers paying even more the get rid of him.  F*ck'n Marty and his stupid contracts.

Yes, this is what I've been trying to tell people.  I love Deshaun, great player.  But I just don't see how we trade for him.  We simply can't do it with Teddy, our cap doesn't allow it.  So, any deal for Deshaun must either include Teddy, *or* we have to trade Teddy PRIOR to trading for Deshaun.

Now, with Houston bringing in Tyrod, it make that trade even harder.  In fact, as far as cap goes, a Deshaun / Teddy swap sucks for both teams.  It's just a crap situation all around.

We don't have the cap to sign anything resembling an NFL QB unless we first ditch Teddy.  Clearly, that's not going to happen.  It's looking more and more like our best option is to move up and get a QB through the draft.

LV really bonered that didn't they? Had a few offers on the table for him at one point from what I understand. 

The issue was once they set over the contract details. Raiders included lots of pay increases with such things as starts, passing yards, wins, snaps, etc. Best I seen, Marcus already hit some with the one game form 2020, his contract was on the way to being 20 million with minor 2021 stuff(starts, yards, etc). I think theres also a trade kicker too. Teams seen the incoming money and where like " NO THANKS".

Add Mariota to the list of "possibly the best bad option we have available" behind Deshaun Watson and a 1st round draft pick. 

But is he though? The best "bad" option left just may be the young kid whose play birthed a new mania.

Definitely wouldn't trade for Mariotta. Don't want to inherit that contract. Once released you can sign him for much less.  If we release Bridgewater before 6/1 the dead cap in 2021 is 20 million. After 6/1 it is 15 million. If we trade him pre 6/1 the dead cap in 2021 is 10 million. An after 6/1 trade would cost us 5 million in dead cap space in 2021.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By fanpanther · Posted

      This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
