In my opinion, team is expecting Drake Jackson to be a great contributor this year.
It didn't sound like it was a hard sell at all.
Exactly. Jed told them if they are going to spend money, get a real impact player. Get the guy. What article did you read @ 49erF90?
I get it. I didn't say it was a hard sell. I apologize if I kinda put it that way. What I said was, "it was challenging" for Lynch. He said in the article, "I felt like I was asking a girl on a date," Lynch admitted. "[I told Kyle], 'Okay, here's how I'm going to start the meeting. Kyle [said], 'No, don't do it that way. Do it this way.' And I was basically going to father confession asking for money. And I said, 'Jed, like, it'd be a shame, with this team, to sit on the sidelines [during free agency].' And Jed stopped me. He said, 'Make sure it's a difference maker.' And I said, 'Okay, well, we're on the same page because we got one for you." So I think because the roster is already stacked and there's so many players already getting top money and there's more players that are due for top money, bidding for another high caliber free agent player is becoming more challenging for Lynch to ask Jed for the go signal. I maybe not 100 percent correct but it's just my two cents.
