That's because you can't comprehend the point.

Wow Lynch played this well.

My head would have been spinning If I knew Staley was retiring before and after we made our selections on Thursday. Lynch did not panic at all.

Who's Williams agent ? This was well played.

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


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..

Yup the Majority does. But obviously no fans in the stadiums means LESS revenue. Less revenue = Lower salary cap.

If the stadiums are shut down, that means recreation everywhere is in short supply. TV ratings would be through the roof and could increase overall income. Supply and demand.

Ya, the networks would benefit greatly from that because the TV deals have already been negotiated at a set price. But the increased ratings will give the NFL leverage for getting a better deal in 2021 when the they expire though.

Unreal.

That is a goddamn poker face, Lynch is a beast

Wait a minute...NCommand has been wanting them to address OLine and they walk away with a BETTER LT than Staley and there is still a problem?

Provided that Trent Williams is in shape and ready to go, the Oline is improved. Now we can focus on guard and center (I have no confidence in Richburg's health long term).

Huh? I have ZERO issue with the trade. Love it!

But you are talking about passing on Wirfs. Why?

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....????

The Vikings nearly acquired Williams before we did. It wasn't like this trade was finalized before we passed on Wirfs.
I love the way this team is relentless about competing for the chip now that they have an open windows to do so. Pedal to the metal!! No complaints from me

What if the FO didn't think he was good?

LOL
Did the Niners draft board leaked out to you somehow?

Lynch is like a riverboat gambler. Had a highly rated OT at 13 and passed. Then waits until the 3rd day to pull off a royal flush. OMG!

personally, I believe that this deal was already made before the draft... and this is the reason why Lynch went for another DT instead of drafting a young OT who's in front of him..

as usual, LYNCH just went about his business and did this quietly...

IT'S THE WAY !!!

Our FO might like Skule and think he was better suited to play LT than Wirfs

They have gotten younger and in better position salary cap wise which is pretty major.

The moves made this year in the cap will pay dividends for the next four/five years.

He's a top 10 T with the aptitude to play both RG and RT...IOL/PP, our #1 weakness by a country mile. 3T is nice and I like Kinlaw but it is what it is.

Yeah but there was no one left on the board when we picked.wirfs honestly did not impress in his tape that I saw. Him and bachti going to have a hard time being successful at tackle in the NFL

So you wanted Wirfs. I agree his going to be good. But then who and where do you get your DT from?

I knew MM was in tight with the 9ers, I just didn't think he would be this right. This is closer than Adam Schefter could get!!!

so tight he can see his reflection on Jeds bald head
