We dipped out toes in the water with DeFo's extension and something tells me we were WAY off. Can't keep them all. Nobody wants to see the leader of our defense leave but we couldn't keep them all. Very upset but I understand. I think the 13th pick was a win/win for both Niners and Colts.

Lynch and Kyle had a choice. They could choose to use up their load and give themselves a good chance to win it all this year, or think about the future.
They chose one of these. And it wasn't the former.

That's only a 3 million difference between Buck and AA then. And Buck is not only the better player the WAY more consistent player.
They obviously wanted the best draft pick possible this year, and only Buckner would command that (between Buck and AA).
Big fan of DeFO, but I just don't think he is $21m a year player (very, very few are). We have to assume that the FO realized his contract demands would be too rich.
Would love for the Niners to be able to backfill Defo with Emerson Griffen

Yeah Armstead wasn't giving us a 1st, let alone #13 overall. MAYBE a second from a hungry team. Maybe.

You share the consensus viewpoint. How many teams are building... dynasties! There's only one
This would sting a lot less if we had just won the super bowl

Confirmed $21. The deal is done.
How do you feel about the trade...especially now the Buckner deal with Colts is public?
I love it. Smart business move. Heartbroken as a fan.

The 13th pick is a win. There's no way we would even come close to paying him the 21 he getting from colts. Frankly I don't think he's worth that much. That's close to Donald money and Donald is much much more dominating. I think between, Jones, Blair and Thomas we should be fine.

Buckner was dominant??? When? He's a great player. But he's not dominant in the way Aaron Donald is
