49ers sent out a mass email this afternoon to teams around the league to try and trade safety Taylor Mays.

when the guy came out i was very high on him. I wouldn't mind giving up a 5-7 for a guy with so much upside. It would allow godfrey or martin to move back to corner if need be. it's also possible the guy could play linebacker at his size. With 4.2 speed and a crushing hitter could be a diamond in the ruff.

haven't heard much from him since he was drafted by the 49ers,but he would instantly become the fastest player on our team. what say you...........

p.s can some moderator edit my title. left out the ers on 49ers.

I like the idea. When I went to practice, I saw Godfrey working either 1 on 1 with the DBs coach or doing things on his own a LOT during down time before practice and during special teams stuff when he wasn't busy doing something. I'd love to move him back to corner. I think he'd be much more natural there. Mays would become a monster in this defense, since it seems blitzing safeties is part of the scheme (from what I saw).

like the raiders and vikings wanting to give away randy moss???? one mans trash is another mans...

It could be a personnel thing in San Fran. Maybe Mays has a problem with the coaches or some teammates there. Doesn't mean he is a bad guy. We don't know the details, and I think it is only reasonable, until we know more, to assume that whatever it is isn't major and doesn't indicate that Mays is a problem guy.

If he can't find a place on an atrocious 49ers secondary, what makes you think he'd do anything here. There must be a reason they are looking to get rid of him, he's either got character issues, or just plain terrible, neither of which are too appealing.

He'll never be a safety in the NFL. Someone should take the Thomas Davis route and make him a WLB, could be great there.

Realistically though, he'll probably be a career ST guy. I've heard he's really good on ST though. Who knows.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
