People just love to complain. AA is an awesome player and one of my favorite 49ers to watch on the team. His goalline stand against the Raiders was the DL play of the year, IMO. Threw Kolton Miller's ass out the club, squared up their FB and then took the RB head on without giving an inch.

Can we just release Kinlaw?
He's been rarely available since he's been here and has been a hair better than average.
Save the $$ and spend it elsewhere.

He had a 10 sack season, but I always thought AA would thrive inside based on how he drives guards backwards. He just needs those other defenders to close off the escape paths because he can't chase the QB or keep containment.

A big risk when drafted that never was able to stay healthy. You can't wait forever. The only thing I hate about releasing guys like this is the possibility that he suddenly stays healthy and becomes the guy they hoped he would be. That's a long shot so they are better off releasing him. They need the cap space.
We should never have drafted him to begin with. It made about as much sense as drafting Solly back In 2017. Lesson learned, hopefully.
Hindsite. The best draft pick of all time.

We had a historically bad run D at the time and I think the Thomas thing was pure projection. They saw a guy at DT that seemed athletic enough to move around the line.
Well at least Kinlaw didn't cost us one of the greatest QB's of all time (Mahomes) like Solly did.
Mahomes is major hindsight. The Chiefs had the luxury of having a veteran like Alex Smith as a starter so they could roll the dice on a boom/bust guy like Mahomes. The 49ers would never have risked basing their foundation on a QB like that, especially before they had anything built up around him.
The 49ers would never base their foundation on a boom or bust QB like Mahomes. Instead they would save that gamble for a guy like Trey Lance (3 first round picks) who is a 100% sure thing with 17 college starts.

Not happening folks the cap hit is already there. This would be like buying a lotto ticket and throwing it away when there is gonna be a 2nd drawing. No upside to cut. Don't save one cent.

I show him having a $4.9m cap charge in 2023 and that is if he is on roster or cut. So yeah we could release but it would be pretty stupid imo. He will be on the cap regardless. May as well have him here if he is gonna hit our cap.
