Agreed, he's a RFA after 2021, he can sign a new deal this season, once yr 2 is done, since he was a UDFA, they get 3yr deals, while draft picks get 4yrs, and can't sign new deals until year 3 is over.

I don't see 3 lbers happening. They are rangy but i still will not feel comfortable with Al shaair carrying anyone down the seam.

I think they are looking at 3 safeties, a Ward, Tartt, Hufanga type setup.
I think they let tartt leave though. Then they look to get an isaiah simmons, tyran Mathieu, budda baker, myles jack, jalen ramsey type weapon in rounds 2-5.

Hopefully only if we get a FA CB that is not injury prone

Good time to strike a LT deal. Agreed. If not, we have the RFA option in our favor.

What kind of contract you think they looking at AB? I read somewhere that they are working on it and I think posted it in here.
Dude has been playing at an unreal level. I hope he's okay, but it didn't look good.

I hope he's healthy.

Going into next season this team needs to think about making a change. We are better at LB than DLine. Imagine moving to a 3-4 and having Bosa as a pass rushing OLB and with Greenlaw, Warner and Azeez on the field together with AA finally playing his big end role and DJ the Big NT.

Huh? A 3-4 actually prevents Greenlaw, Warner and Azeez from being on the field. All 3 are stack LBs and none can play at edge.

Honestly idk, they probably, if the report is true, are trying to get him signed for less before he can become a UFA after 2022 if he signs a 1yr deal. I'd think a deal would be in the $3.5M-$5M a yr range, if we can get both Azeez & Dre signed to similar deals, we can keep all 3 LBs, as the cap is set to explode in 2024, and should go up by $20M a yr.
He's playing really good football lately.

Sounds like he hurt his elbow pretty bad. Hoping it's not long term

I think Azeez could play outside. He's already our best pass rushing LB.
Wish this team was as good at drafting CBs the as it is LBs…
