Anyone else worried that our chances of landing some quality Free Agents went down dramatically with the Chip Kelly hire. I know $ talks & we have plenty to give, but I'm just concerned that with all the baggage Kelly brings with him, potential FA may say thanks but no thanks. What do you guys think?

Torrey Smith signed here last year with Tomsula taking over. I get that a few players don't like Chip, but money talks. Plus, there are guys who would be excited to play in his offense

Pretty much all free agents in sports these days only care about the money. There isn't much loyalty from either side and we like to think about factors like weather, taxes, the state, the system, etc but really it's mostly about money.

No, we got 50M in cap space. These guys, well most, play for that paper. We got Brinks trucks full of it under Levi waiting for a account number..

Well, we won't be going after D. Jackson or Jeremy Maclin 😁

I think the fact that, even if we keep Kaepernick, we will be about $50 million under the cap will say the most about our ability to acquire free agents.

NO!
Money doesn't talk - it SHOUTS!
Also, I think the opposite - his hiring will attract certain players - depending on who the DC and other coaches are.
