i didn't think we'd be in on any top guys that would be too expensive like Daron Payne.
Then I remembered we were rumoured to be interested in trading for him at the deadline. We must have been prepared to give him a big contract. We have to pay Bosa too but we love to focus on DL
Do they restructure a few other players to fit him in?
We'll have Purdy on a rookie contract though.
I could see them being in on him but bailing if the price goes too high. Getting him would be a way of correcting the Kinlaw mistake. I wonder too if he might get tagged before FA.

How about Matt ioannidis? He's a player that has really stood out whenever the Niners played against him.

Larry Krueger was talking about Khalen Saunders from KC Chiefs. I don't know anything about him. Asked a buddy if mine about him (he's a big Chiefs fan), and he had a lot of good things to say about him. Over 300 lbs and can do a backflip!

Anyone else know more about this guy and what it might cost us to sign him, if KC can't lock him up?

Refresh my memory, but who was starting over him at DT? Nvm was Nnadi
big guy, had 3.5 sacks this year and is young

He and Drake Jackson could choreograph double backflip celebrations!

I loved Khalen Saunders coming out of college. I didn't realize he's a FA. He's like a poor man's DJ Jones.

Good call, plus our new DC coached him last year.

Matt Ryan is still gonna cost a pretty penny and the only way he gets signed is if Trey Lance is traded. I like your Billy Turner pick, I think he would be cheap and effective. He has started at both Guard and Tackle and I think that would put him on the 49ers radar. As for CB, even though I like your picks, I think they re-sign Moseley first, after that I don't see a place for any second tier CB's.

If the 49ers are going to make an impact signing, I hope it's Arden Key. He might be the best bang for your buck signing.

I don't think Ryan would cost much of anything, he melted down and was benched for Ehlinger and Foles. He will be 38. Does he even want to play? If he does I could see him wanting to ring chase, which means a top tier team like us, and the KS connection is there. He may also view our roster and say I can beat out TL.

His days of a starter / or starter money are over imo. He may just flat out retire.

Right, but no way he signs for less than $2 mil which is basically what Nate Sudfeld got paid. And if he beats put Trey Lance, then Trey will be traded or released. But I highly doubt that, which is why I don't see Shanahan picking up a QB unless its a veteran like Kurt Benkirk or Josh Johnson.

Would be great to sign Key and Omenihu, get a big body DT like A'Shawn and then have Drake develop into that bookend DE

He is currently under contract through 2023 to the Colts. His cap number is $35M. If the Colts cut him, they carry $18M in dead money. It is possible he gets cut but there would be competition for his services. I hope we never get to the place we have to sign him.
