Richard Expensive Seymour

On the cheap, for a chance to help the 49ers repeat, if he can still play at a high level, I'd love to have him on the team.
So hard to tell what a guy has left when playing on a team that bad. It would have to be on the cheap just because of the risk he isnt what he used to be.
maybe a similar deal like Moss did?
I think it would be a great fit. San Fran is right down the road for him. They signed him to a BIG contract in March then he had a hamstring injury and they voided off the reaming 4 years. This guy still has it in him or they wouldn't have signed him to a 5yr 30mil contract at the age of 33. I would offer him a 3yr deal for 10 mil + 5mil in bonuses.
I'd sign him, unsure if he'd be a starter because who is he gonna replace? More of a veteran signing as a back up to give starters a rest and/or come in on passing situations to rush the QB. Plus, his experience and locker room presence would be a benefit.
Good veteran backup, if he's available for the right price, he could be a great addition. A reliable veteran 3-4 DE would be very important if they can't find a sufficiently talented backup in the draft. This would be much more reasonable and a much more "Baalke-like" choice if Seymour still has something left in the tank.

Great player. Great 3-4 DE too. All comes down to money.
If it's the right price, this would definitely be a Baalke type of signing. One of the great 3-4 DEs of the last 10 years.

That would be ridiculous! Cowboy on one end, Seymour on the other!
I thought about that at the end of his season. Thought he would be too pricey but if he wants to take a " Miami heat syndrome" reduced contract to come play on the right side of the bay. I say heck yeah!! Could you imagine him and Justin grooming a few draftees.!!! And yes I think he has more in the tank certainly for another ring
Yes, if we can get him on a Moss like deal, come play for a contender etc

I would still aim to draft 2 D-linemen in the first three rounds, we would then have a great rotation whilst developing young talent
we need to get younger at DLine not older

You can do both. Add a vet and a rookie.

Seymour can still play. Just not sure he wants to be a backup.
