You simply can't block Hunter-Hargraves-Armstead-Bosa and Jackson/Givens/Kinlaw/Hyder/Beal/Davis keeping everyone fresh. That depth is insane

NNice pipe dream over the cap has nagopiki and Floyd both getting paid 13 mil last year. We can't land those guys with our penny pinching budget. What is Hunter going to cost? Only way we get cap room is if we trade a stud

Hunter has a $4.9 million dollar cap hit and it's the last year remaining on his contract. We can easily fit him into our salary cap. Hell, his salary will be cheaper than these free agents after seeing what Floyd got.

The question is the cost. If it's a day 2 pick, then it's basically like adding Sanders to try and put our offense over the top, and he was almost the guy to help win us a championship.

Hunter is also way better than Yannic, Clowney, Floyd, and every other available edge, so who the hell cares about a day 2 pick for one of the better pass rushers in the league when he's healthy? Who the do you double on our line? It would be pick your poison with that much talent. Wilks wouldn't even need to blitz, but he still will and it will be a thing of beauty seeing a free rusher go untouched or an elite pass rusher getting 1v1. Either way, good luck.

Id trade a second rounder and some more. f**k it. We are trying to put ourselves over the top with a super bowl. Go all in.

Here's another reason to trade for him. Hunter is FA at the end of the season, so if he has a big year playing with this much defensive talent, then it's a win-win because we trade a 2nd round draft pick to get him and then probably get a 3rd round comp pick back in return. It just makes too much sense if his 2023 cap is going to be lower than these Edge FA's, after seeing what Floyd got.

I see Hunter with a $13 cap hit for 2023 (Spotrac). He's going to cost a lot in draft capital as a 28 year old with multiple 10+ sack seasons. Any team trading for him will think of it as a long term investment which I don't think the 49ers can view him as. He'd be awesome though, not arguing that.

$4.9 base salary. Minnesota has basically paid everything owed to him, so whichever team gets him won't be on the hook for anything. It all comes down to trade compensation, but the comp pick we'd get minimizes that because someone will throw money at him in 2024 and we'd likely get a 3rd after trading a 2nd to significantly improve our DL and increase our superbowl odds.

This is one of the easiest decisions Lynch and Shanny could make since getting Trent Williams for day 2 picks. The loss of our 2nd isn't going to hurt if we get a 3rd round comp pick when he walks AFTER possibly helping us win a championship. This is like adding Dee Ford if we never extended him.

Got it. If the 49ers get him as a one year rental, for sure he'd factor into the comp pick formula, and I don't think the 49ers would be making splashy signings in 2024 free agency so he would most likely get a 3rd comp back. He's the type of player that can elevate this defense from very good to dominant. If the front office wants to make some serious noise, this is the move. Why is MIN willing to trade him? He's in his prime and their defense sucks.

Their defense is bad, like really bad, so they plan on moving him and get something for him before he walks in the off-season. Feels like a rebuild is coming in Minnesota, and they are rumored to be asking for a 2nd.
