Eric Saubert and Rock Ya-Sin seem like the two most obvious "wink-wink" re-sign candidates for the 49ers once Ambry Thomas and possibly Jon Feliciano head to IR.

This is the common procedural maneuver I discussed this AM. Enables IR'd players to return this season

once we sign Aiyuk - we will cut bell

Ok I agree. Now explain 2 TE's. Kittle misses a few games every year because he plays so physical. 2 TE's is unthinkable. We don't have a blocking TE either apparently. I just don't see how this makes sense. Ya Sin should be back I agree.

LEGENDARY: #49ers RB Christian McCaffrey needs just 40 receptions to pass Marshall Faulk for the most by a running back in NFL HISTORY through his first 8 seasons.

The best offensive mind in football should be able to win games without a single TE in the roster. That's how good he is.

Well saubert is a TE. So that's three.. still less than the usual four but that's probably the solution to Havint just 2. Lmao

The point is Saubert is likely to re-sign tomorrow. That'd be 3 TE which is standard. They could then maybe get Willis on PS and elevate him if needed.

Saubert has to be on this roster tomorrow. He has shown amazing blocking prowess this camp and preseason. Hopefully he takes a lot of the in-line blocking duties and we play more 2 TE sets till BA and Trent are in football shape.

Lol right. Maybe he was confusing him with a different player but that tweet clearly showed a realistic route to solving the just 2 Te thing

Anyone catch any interesting TEs or OTs that were cut that would be worth looking into? Remember we once cut DJ Reed so maybe some surprises out there.

The OT depth is what intrigues me the most. Assuming we get Trent back - we don't have a backup who can play RT. Moore only can play left (and hes trash. Essentially like having Willis pass block).

maybe they're planning on signing someone they cut and carry them on the PS?

Some team cut their former third round pick today, very talented but raw. I think he would do well in our system.

How name is cam Latu. Would be a steal!

Irv Smith Jr could be interesting.

Teams cut players that play well for other teams all the time.
