Matt Maiocco is the best! Never fake news. Always the truth! He called it!

Has a super bowl losing team ever gained this much talent in a single offseason? I would say that Aiyuk and Williams are better than Sanders and Staley.

+ Kinlaw

+ Aiyuk

+ Williams

- Staley

- Sanders

- Buckner

Willams is better than Staley. It is very very unlikely Aiyuk is better than Sanders in the coming season.

I don't know about you guys but I'd rather have Javon Kinlaw and Trent Williams than Tristan Wirfs (who may or may not be an NFL LT) and whatever DT could've been available to them in the draft, if not Kinlaw.

+1

+2

Agreed, although I think keeping Buckner, then trading Armstead for a 2nd or 3rd would've been way better than the direction we went.

STALEY RETIRES

Here's what helped set into motion the Trent Williams' trade: six-time Pro Bowl and All-Decade OT Joe Staley is expected to retire due to health concerns, per league sources. The 35-year-old Staley wanted to inform the 49ers in a timely way to help find a replacement. They have.

Great move to get Williams and it looks like Staley actually helped!

Wow, ShanaLynch have stones passing on Wirfs. It doesn't sound like the TW trade was done when they made that pick.

Absolutely stupid.

Why? Maybe they don't view Wirfs as highly as you do

Unlikely, Aiyuk is better than Sanders? That's dumb assumption.

This makes me wonder if Lynch and Peters weren't high on Wirfs ability at left tackle.

Waste the 13th overall pick on a rookie T, or get Trent Williams for a 5th....🤔

Dude, if he leaves after next year we almost for sure get a 3rd round comp pick for him. And if he re ups with us we get a franchise left tackle for the next 5 years for a 3rd and a 5th, STEAL

Trent Williams and the 49ers are expected to restructure the last year on his contract, per source. But Williams will report and will play for SF this season.

He's not leaving he's gonna get a fat contract extension

That's not what I read from that tweet. Sounds like we're going to bump up his pay for this year only. Then he walks? Hope not?

Seems like this is THE year to lock in good guys on long term deals if you can. It will seem like a bargain by this time next year assuming the cap goes up dramatically over the next few years as expected.

If the NFL plays games this season without fans in the stands the cap will actually go down before it jumps back up the following year.

You do not know that at all.

Majority of revenue comes from TV deals etc. not from fans in the seats..

Yep. This team (without Joe) MUST have an immediate LT during this Super Bowl window.

This is the kind of move New England makes. Nice to be on this side of it for a change.

This has BB written all over it. Who woulda thot. Obviously this must have been in the grand plan, yet not a peep was let out. You gotta admire JL ...and kyle. These guys are doing it their way, and is that ever refreshing. Also it has all been done with nobody in the know. That is how one is supposed to GM....quietly.
