Pay heem. Pay dat myan his money.

If we can just keep Trent then sign Mack we're in great shape. Can address the rest in the draft.

Where's the $24M number coming from? Haven't seen that outside of this thread.

If it's true, hopefully we can agree halfway and do $22M a year.

Seems this is wishful thinking

I mean SF has done everything right for this dude... traded for him to get him out of that s**t hole, took away his tag, gave him more cash upfront because he didn't get paid for a yr, brought in his OL coach to be his coach, made him a TC.

s**t dude, he's gonna get stupid money no matter what. He's already got stupid money.

Original dreamland is kind of a fusion of Texas pit and KC style. They smoke them for about 30 Min with a dry rub then pit roast them over hickory. The sauce is more Carolina style, very bright, vinegary and a little more heat than sweet.

Gotcha so essentially 2x cooking the meat which is part of the execution for Carolina style. Sounds like that works perfectly with a rub smoked + pit roast and sauce. That could work out well!! Now I'm curious to try! Lol.

Oh....it's amazing

The Niners need this guy to protect Sam Darnold's blindside for the next few years.

KC BBQ...

Carolina-style is vastly superior but I know I'm biased.

Y'all don't even.... in Alabama, BBQ is almost a religion here. Some of y'all just need to come with me to the original dreamland BBQ in Tuscaloosa. It's a little shack on a hill behind an industrial park, but you will never find better ribs anywhere.

I've had Texas pit BBQ in Texas, been to the 5, "best" places in Memphis, had KC in KC, dreamland will beat em all. That, and my own.

I use a small smoker for small stuff but use a converted 500 gallon tank with a firebox for smoking bulk batches of ribs and butts.

sounds amazing!

I have this sickening feeling that he'll end up in KC.

I don't think KC will be able to sign him, they have other big needs, they can't afford to sign Trent, and then just draft the rest of the guys they need. I still think he ends up back in SF, I get he wants to test FA, but also the 49ers did right by him when they negotiated that deal to allow no tag, that shows the 49ers organization will do what it takes to get the players and do for them. Look they just gave Juice a raise, Trent is well worth $20M+, I'm guessing the 49ers made an offer in the $20M+ a yr, $60M GTD, letting him see what else is out there, I just hope he's true to his word, and like he said no rebuild, and he wants to be a 49er.

Yup that's where I see it too...I honestly think he just wants to see what his market it because he's never had that chance before.

He knows he will thrive in SF, dude put up probably his best season in a long time. Our OL coach and him are tight. Kyle and him are tight. SF just needs to be in the ball park end of the day. I'm sure someone will offer him more, will he just go for the cash? we will see. SF should have plan B in order just in case...I'm guessing we will have an answer soon though.

If I was Trent, I'd make the 49ers sweat a bit, wait as long as possible (but not too long that the 49ers lose interest) to squeeze as much out of the 49ers as possible, but at the end of the day, (or maybe tomorrow) he should be a 49er. I'm pretty confident of that, but I'm sure the 49ers have a plan B just in case. Mine would be Slater (or another OT with that first round pick in the draft.).

Probably b/c that would make him the highest paid tackle in the league over the guy from GB who makes 23 million

The 24 is just a rumor and has not been reported yet.

If his plan is to sign with us anyways he'd be doing the team a disservice doing that. If they don't know what they have they don't know how to spend the rest of their money. It really shouldn't take too long. There are only so many teams interested in him given the contract demands.

It's not a "visit this place to see how it feels" situation. He should already know what other teams are offering. Either come back to the 49ers to see if they match or take the deal you think is best. The sooner he signs the better it is for the team that signs him and it's better for him wanting to win while getting paid.

It's about the GTD cash end of the day not the APY. SF is getting bargain bin prices all off the place elsewhere....can't do that for every player.

IF they can't resign Trent, IMO it's an epic failure on the FO....ain't nobody give a s**t about resign a FB and a injury prone (but good) CB to a 1 yr deal, if you lose out on Trent.

I think they will sign Trent. But having said that, its a team game, i wouldn't want to pay a left tackle QB level money. Might as well put Jimmy at left tackle (hypothetically speaking) and draft a QB with the 12th pick in the '21 draft.

In other words, if Trent's asking so much money that your entire team cap structure is affected, I think you have to walk away from a deal like that.

I think Trent will go for the money. He's 33, probably his last big contract. I don't think the team or loyalty is factoring into it at all. Fans will hate that but he had to go what's best for him. My guess is that if we sign trip we probably address other needs in the draft. If we don't sign Trent then we probably go with Rochon Slater and then pick up other needs via free agency.

They aren't going to sign him if they can't fit him in. If they sign him, then I don't worry about what they are paying him. If you want a top tier tackle then you have to pay. I get tired of hearing fans whine about having a bad O line then worrying about paying too much.
