I think Justin Smith wanting to come back but not wanting to play here is just reflective of being 37 and not wanting to be on the defensive side of a team that is probably going to have a low time of possession.

can we stop this junk... one side of his body does not work very well any more. he said that himself... so that is the end of the story

And its a huge unsubstantiated rumor that Florio say "there's talk at the combine" - so this isn't even agent driven given he negotiates his own contracts.
plus we control his rights,. but again its all b******t in my opinion
Personally, I think he's got 2 more years if used correctly.. he's one of those players that I would like to see in the 4th QTR very very fresh and expect him to just dominate..

but with his competetive nature, would he accept that kinda plan?
Who was better...

Justin Smith or Bryant Young?
I bet Pat probably wants to come back also but just not for niners.

overall, I'll go with Justin Smith.. just because he's motor ran more than BY in my opinion.

Plus, for some reason, there were OC/OG (Timmerman or Aaron of Green Bay) who handled BY one on one.. I never saw anyone did that to Justin..
This is a crap rumor. Whatever happened to the rumor he wanted to coach? Is he tired of his wife already too?

Justin Smith easily is/was better then Bryant Young. Bryant Young was very good but not a HOFer like Justi will be.

Bryant was monstrous before the injury.

Ill take both.

Cowboy saw the writing on the wall when Harbaugh was fired, and he knew he didn't want to be part of this dumpster fire lit by Jed and Baalke.

I definitely think the disarray in the FO and the mess around Harbaugh's departure was a factor in the retirements. Why would a player want to put his body on the line for Jed and Trent?

That's assuming we know what kind of relationship any player has with Trent or Jed.... and since we don't ... well is it fair to speculate about any relationship one might have with another person. Why do people assume they always know the whole story?

These players saw where Trent and Jed were taking the team by getting rid of Harbaugh and replacing him with Tomsula. Their personal relationships have nothing to do with that. I didn't assume anything, I speculated that the train wreck that has been the past 18 months may have been a factor in some of the retirements.

Or perhaps they still would've retired as they had to be tired of having to carry the offense as HaRoman had maxed out their abilities to design a high functioning offense.

Speculation is fun.
Put his body on the line ?

, they get paid millions..hello it's a job
