People on twitter are very upset we didn't trade for Deebo. here's my thing. 

Deebo has looked increasingly worse the last two seasons and further his play style does not lend itself to longterm success: risk of injury and relied a lot on pure athelticism > technique. Further I'm wary of all players out of that SF offense. 

Second, Deebo would have demanded a new contract if he came here. He went to Washington for one year to boost his stock, try to win a superbowl and hopefully get a contract with someone else next year. He's not playing the Dionte game with us 

People that are mad are either stupid or trolling. He is not the same player and his contract just wasnt going to work here for the next 2 years.   I know its been talked about ad nauseam on here but we are super tight against the cap and we need a ton of cheap defensive players so it literally makes no sense to bring deebo in.  I think, assuming bryce progresses, that next offseason is when you can take a bigger chance like that and try to make a move

Agreed. Deebo is a good weapon if healthy but that is far from guaranteed. If we got tied to another massive contract for a non-contributing player, we put ourselves in another deep hole.

But I was told that you would be propping Young up if you give him weapons? He is supposed to elevate the scrub players around him? You guys need to make up your minds. 

who the hell knows what the current narrative is around bryce now, my head is still spinning from the last 2 years trying to keep up.  All i do know is they better trot his little ass out there in preseason.  Lets not make the same mistake 2x now.

Didn't you hear? The only reason for trading up to select a QB #1 overall was because the team was ready to win during their rookie contract... not because the team had been in QB purgatory for half a decade. 🙃

to the Commanders for draft pick compensation

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that the 49ers will get back a fifth round pick in the deal. Quarterback Jayden Daniels led the team to the postseason in his rookie year, doing so with an all-new coaching staff to boot. The team now adds a veteran “Queen chess piece” in Samuel, a player that is capable of adding numerous layers to an offense already one of the more dynamic units in the league. The addition of Samuel is likely to generate more one-on-one matchups for Terry McLaurin on the perimeter, boosting the fantasy expectations of both players in the process. Brandon Aiyuk has also been rumored to be a potential trade candidate out of San Francisco this offseason, but he would stand to benefit should he remain in the bay area. As too would veteran tight end George Kittle, the latter of whom has held drastic splits with Samuel on and off the field the previous three seasons.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
