From OTC:

Samuel’s contract is more or less a players dream and a team’s nightmare. The 49ers made the decision to use large bonuses in every year of the contract for much needed cap relief each season. The 49ers have prorated about 92.5% of the first three years of Samuel’s contract extension that was signed in 2022. This leaves the 49ers with $31.55 million in prorated charges to deal with in 2025 if Samuel is cut or traded, which is #3.7M more in cap space than the 49ers have spent on Samuel as an active player over the last three years. If the 49ers were to trade Samuel they would take all $31.55 million in cap charges in 2025 and would require some minor tweaking of his contract to avoid that number jumping by about another $3 million.

The 49ers do not have to rush on a trade since they created a salary cap cushion via a teamwide commitment to contract restructures made in 2024. While the option for Samuel is technically due on the 10th day of the league year the 49ers could elect to not pick up the option and allow Samuel’s salary for the year to rise from $1.17 million to $16.6 million, increasing his cap charge from $15.869 million to about $28.2 million. While the jump is big, the 49ers should be prepared to take that increase if they are willing to take $31M in dead money via trade. None of Samuel’s salary is guaranteed and this would allow them to hold onto Samuel until the draft to try to move him in a trade.

Deebo is overrated in my opinion.  Plays in a very good system and seems more of a gadget player.  Sure someone will overpay him. 

Seems you haven’t watched San Fransisco much. He and CMC are their offense. Purdy is good, but they are the game breakers that can take a 2 yard screen 75 yards to score anytime. 
 

pairing Deebo with Theilen and, id hope, a young speed guy, would be an awesome combination.

I have watched them a good bit, second favorite team after the panthers.  He had a really good 2021, but since the big contract signing he has seemed to slow down maybe its just been injuries but this past season he really looked bad and slow.  He has had one year over 1k yards but they do spread the ball around alot.  He has never really panned out as a runner either his best year he had 365yards rushing.  I could be wrong but I just dont see him worth the money they are paying him or what he will want.  I dont think the 49ers will miss him when he is gone I believe other players(ricky pearsall) will step right into his spot. This season when everyone else was hurt on the 49ers they still didnt turn to him b/c he just wasnt playing well and he played in 15 games this season.

He's 29 years old with a bad contract, and yes, while he has game breaking ability, he really doesn't have a defined position anymore, he's not really all that great at just lining up at WR and running routes, he's more gadget than anything.

If you trade for a player like him, you need to build your offense around moving him around and getting him the ball with unique plays that don't work with anyone else.

If he was 25 without injury issues, then it's a totally different conversation, but re-building your offense around an overpriced, oft injured 29 year old without a true position is exactly how you compound the issues a team like ours has.

He's another player where I'd much rather WAY overpay to go after someone like Higgins, and I'm already staunchly against doing that as well.

Wouldn't be thrilled with this.  

The WR market is pretty meh and the draft is as well.  If we somehow land a weapon via trade, it needs to be a game changer.  We have young talent that I don't want stunted by older fillers.  This should happen only if a prime candidate who can truly make an impact is there, but if we're just grabbing a starter for a year or two, it doesn't serve us well for the build around Bryce and co. 

Trade candidates in that respect would be a guy like Pittman or Wilson.

Deebo is honestly still living off of the hype of his one great season. Outside of that season four years ago he's been more good than great. He's going into the last year of his contract and I'd surmise he and the Niners have likely had some discussions about a possible extension and are probably miles apart on the numbers. He probably wants to be paid like 2021 Deebo and the Niners want to pay for 2024 Deebo. Basically good vs. great.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
