Im preparing for a corresponding trade. Laken Tomlinson for a 7th rounder or something. Youre never safe on this roster, even days after an extension. lol

I remember talking trash about this dude often but his game got better near the end of the season.
Nice to have a solid center next to him.

Ha...but probably this.

Staley, Richburg and McGlinchey are gonna save the #49ers guards this year.

As I was saying.

#49ers GM John Lynch: "Laken [Tomlinson] is a very talented player who has improved consistently since joining the team one week before last year's season opener. This offseason, his hard work & dedication paid off as he continued to progress and performed at a high level (1/2)

#49ers GM John Lynch: "We were confident we could work out a contract extension with Laken and we are fired up to get that done before training camp." (2/2)

After being thrown to the wolves upon his arrival, Tomlinson finished the season strong. His 70.7 overall grade ranked 32nd out of 77 guards. #49ers https://t.co/b0MhwT6t0S

That's not a bad deal at all! chump change compared to what guards are getting now. Now I wonder if that gets tagged onto his current contract?

I'll take that....now we're down to Garnett and Cooper. honestly looking at kyle's guards in the past, he doesn't need to pay a Andrew Norwell type of guy to run an effective offense.

It's not critical (esp. now that we avoided a big pay day to Brown and swapped it for a rookie salary) but I'd still take an all pro Norwell over Tomlinson.

Sus...who are you really?

The 49ers signed guard Laken Tomlinson to a three-year extension. I can't imagine why.
