While they're not the same player they both take similar reps. You think key is signing for $750k? Highly doubtful. SF has like $1M left in cap space and still need $9.4M in cap space for rookie contracts. Needs to give extensions to Deebo/Bosa and money just to have for in-season moves.
I think Keys prove it deal is already on the table from the Niners. I think he missed out on the multi year contracts he thought were worth signing, and now he is in the process of getting other teams 1 year offers to see if they are better situations than what he had or to see if he can get the Niners to match a higher offer. Either way, there are ways to gain cap space, and if the Niners are willing to match his offer, he probably won't mind waiting until they clear space
