Juice on KNBR today:

"I would just say that I absolutely, absolutely loved my time here with the Niners," Juszczyk said on the Murph & Mac show. "It's been absolutely phenomenal. I really would love to continue [my career] here, but my economics degree would tell me that it would be smart to weigh my options, and see what's out there, and see what kind of opportunities I do have for my family, and that sort of thing."

"Kyle and I have already had just brief informal discussions about a possible return," Juszczyk continued. "I'm absolutely open to that and would love that because I love everything that we've built here, and it's been so cool to be a part of that, really, from the very beginning when Kyle and John (Lynch) got here — a complete overhaul. To be a part of that first original free-agency class that they brought in has been really cool, and I would love to continue that."

Better take a pay cut if he wants to return.

A bit disappointed we didn't develop anyone behind him over these years...

Seattle will turn him into a pro bowl player

Dude, imagine Witherspoon having to tackle Deebo in open field.



I'd love for them to pick him up.

Resigning Juice is a no brainer for both sides. There aren't many teams who will value the FB position in a way that would even have them complete for his services
4 years 19m
6m signing bonus, 1.5m base in 2021, 4.5m base in 2022, 3m base in 2023 and 4m in 2024

Juice gets 7.5m in year 1 money but with a cap hit of only 3m in 2021. Niners can free up 3m in cap space by cutting Benjamin and Nzeocha

Way over paid for the performance we've gotten. Sure some great plays once every 3 games or 4. We're going to have some serious holes to fill and need cap space.

I don't think that is really his fault though. I mean, how many times is he even targeted? Or given the ball in short yardage? How many plays has he been WIDE OPEN and not even looked at, or overthrown by 1/2 a mile? He's made plays when he's had the opportunities. I just don't understand while John and Kyle made up this whole OW thing, if they didn't intend to use him. Other than to justify why they overpaid for him.

They should get him the ball more. He is underutilized.

I actually agree. They paid him a butt load of money just to be a blocker. He can do so much more. He is a decent runner and a very adequate pass catcher.

I like him as a player, but the more i think about it, I wouldn't want to re-sign him unless he takes a paycut. This team will never utilize him to the best of his ability so why pay a premium for his services?

have I not been saying that he's overpaid because we aren't using him to the fullest??

does it really take this long for all of Us to see??
