Jerick 'Jet' McKinnon is a Chief.

See they can save more cash IMO if the restructure McKinnon vs cutting him. Let him battle it out in OTAs...if he's done then cut him. Save more money that way and you get a chance to see if that knee is good to go.

Coleman is easy because it's a team-option. No DM

I like it.

i just do not understand the desire to cut coleman who has done very good things for us and was a huge reason we won our first playoff game and keep the alleged jet who has done nothing and is a huge huge question mark. i just do not get it

Sounds good to me.

Man we talking bout "restructuring" in here...he might need to restructure his knees

Talking bout practice

True lol I was excited to see how Jet would perform in this offense too. We shall see how things shake out within the next few months though.

His ability is contingent of his availability. Hasn't stayed healthy yet. He's two years older than when he was signed and coming back from major reconstructive knee surgery. Zero football contact in two years. Have little faith in his ability to return and be explosive.

Draft Lamical Perine, Darius Anderson, Darrynton Evans, or JaMycal Hasty on day 3 and go from there.

What's don't you understand? It comes down to money plain and simple. You don't think another RB could do what coleman did in this system? Everyone we throw back there does well.

McKinnon restructured will save them a couple million more vs cutting him. There's an opportunity to save something like $10M by cutting Coleman and restructuring JM. That cash can go towards someone more important.

Let JM and a late rd rookie battle it out for a roster spot. End of the day if he sucks you cut him and saved much more than just cutting before the restructure.

This team isn't flush with money anymore. Cut the fat where it's very easy to do it. Imo that starts with team-options and positions like RB

Agreed. The way Shanny can find value at RB we can do fine without Coleman at 5 million.

i do not think you cut a known commodity for a total question mark. no matter what you thought of him before he came here. if we trade back and accumulate more picks. fine maybe . but as of now. we can not afford to waste a pick on a running back when we have other needs like secondary. esp if they let ward walk and since we have no clue whats up with sanders. we may need a pick at wide out. maybe we need another d lineman. and we all know we need some picks for the o line. .

Figuring out what they're gonna to do with JM will happen before April 1st. That's when his base salary becomes Gtd

You're Missing the pt.

Let me explain it...

SO You'd rather cut JM eat $4M in DM & keep Coleman at $5M (thats $9m invested in just two RBs one isn't even on the team)...plus they're gonna be paying Mostert/breida (combined) another $5M for the 2020 season. That's $14M for a position that we've seen we can find talent from late day 3/UDFA prospects. What you're saying to do doesn't make financial sense based on where they're at cap wise.

What I'm saying is restructure JM SO THAT he has very little GTD cash and it's all incentive based. That's gonna save SF like $6M or so. SF will get a chance to see if he's healthy an can play. IF not they cut him and don't have to eat $4M in DM. Cap savings!

Yes cut Coleman because he's a known commodity...of avg play. You don't think SF can find someone to take his 130 snaps? They have a bunch of late day 3 picks which is perfect for finding CHEAP scheme specific RBs.

Take that extra $10M+ you saved by restructuring JM and cutting Coleman and spend it on Sanders or another position you're saying we better play at.

I like coleman too. Good player. Wouldnt just throw him overboard.

Who do yo like more him or Sanders? Him or Ward? End of the day those are some of the decisions that are gonna have to be made. Coleman is the odd man out if I had to pick

CC ultimately what I'm trying to say is there is absolutely no harm in restructuring McKinnon. It will drastically lower his GTD cash, which gives SF MORE cap space then if they just cut him. If he bombs in TC/OTAs no big deal they're not counting on anything from him at that pt. The restructure helps SF move off him if that has to happen as well.

IMHO SF shouldn't be paying $14M for our RBs (that's if they just cutting JM) and that doesn't include Juice either.

They've shown that can get very good results from guys who don't cost much or require a high draft pick....SO why would you continue to funnel money into that position when there's EASY outs there? There's cheap talent to be had, you can take that cash and invest it into more important positions and it creates much needed cap relief

Couldn't agree more. He's in and Breida was in the doghouse. Fans don't seem to get this.

if anything they could keep the alleged jet cuz they plan to dump breida cuz he is not reliable. after coleman got hurt. i was paranoid vs the packers that mostert would get hurt and breida would come in.. i wonder how many fans had confidence in him to not fumble
